Is there a polite way to say that your worldview means that you're bringing up your children badly and are going to go to Hell, because that's the tacit undertone to the question.

Even my girl began to take offense and she said afterwards she was suprised i didnt argue more. Dude was laying it on and the most i said was "No thank you, im not religious."

This just got me thinking. Wouldn't it be amazingly fun to go around like that guy and just mess with people and watch them get absolutely pissed off?

Don't tell me that wouldn't be fun.

You can just walk off.

I usually just walk away from these guys, I don't stand there and let them talk to me. I never found the need to sit there and argue with/listen to them.

That guy said he was in Walmart, so you can easily walk away from someone in Walmart.

Though what would you do if some guy was loudly preaching Atheism on a crowded train? Would you tell him to shut up, because he's being loud and obnoxious, or would you let him continue because you're in agreement with him?

Not if he's down the aisle you need to be in.

Plus, you shouldn't have to walk away.

Well if someone's bugging me in a store, I walk off, especially as big of a place as Walmart. Sometimes it's best to ignore people instead of wanting to fight them.

I find it funny how you guys keep ignoring the question if someone was preaching Atheism.

You can hardly preach atheism, but if someone was on a train shouting about how there isn't a god I'd be just as annoyed, just as I'd be annoyed if someone was preaching about how Pepsi is better than Coke, or a sermon on Subway, or Missionary for McDonalds.

If someone was dumb enough to manage to 'preach' atheism they'd do my head in.

It's more of some guy preaching that God isn't real and how the Bible is shit, basically what you guys post on a daily basis, except in a crowded subway instead of on a forum.

There's a difference between posting something on a message board and standing on a crowded train and yelling at people.

I didn't say they were the same, I was just saying what if that guy was doing that in public.

Then he'd be just as annoying, and would, just has his religious counterpart was, be rather missing the point of his theological outlook.

I was looking at strollers like i said and my girl is pregnant. No way i should have to walk away from looking at what i intended to see.

Once someone says "No thanks" that should be it. THey walk away not me. I didnt approach them.

Yea, I think anyone doing that in public would be annoying. It's doesn't really matter what's coming out of their mouth. It would all annoy me.

I would still be annoyed by someone "preaching" atheism. That shit is annoying both way regardless. Id love to see people out preaching tolerance and acceptance of other races and religions instead of the dividing effect of religions.

But since supposedly good people are too busy telling you that hell is waiting for you that wont happen.
