just hold these beliefs unchallenged

Yeah, up to a point you know? I don't go around screaming insults at everyone who I disagree with, even if I am a skeptical atheist who thinks religion is silly. "I will challenge and challenge you until you change your mind" is shit that many people try to pull, for all sorts of reasons, but it doesn't tend to be too productive taken to an extreme (that you may be arguing is always appropriate?). Like the douchebags who desecrate Indigenous sacred sites and then say "well it's just superstition innit?"

Yeah sure, say you don't believe in something, speak up, say why, I do, but going around telling people they're stupid and patronisable ad infinitum.. well, it's taking the authority of science a little too far into the territory of moral absolutism. And that shit is never pretty.

There was this one lady who would stalk Andrew station in South Boston. Whenever I was waiting for a bus she would hound me, trying to get me to renounce my atheism and believe in god. And she. never. left. me. alone. No matter how many times I told her 'no thanks'. She even went as far as to say I "believed" in the Epic of Gilgamesh, so why couldn't I believe in the bible, right after I started pointing out historical basis for the thing (I was very tired at this point, and sick to death of her harassing me) It was the most annoying thing ever.

Sometimes certain beliefs should just be left alone, because it comes off as douchebaggery when you just can't take "no" for an answer. Ah well.

Oh gawd, that woman would shit me to tears. Sure, she believed what she was doing was ~right~ and ~noble~, but her eternal soul needs a good slapping around.

All Christians who've come into my sphere have given up at some point. Even the personally invested ones. For which I am truly grateful.

When I was fourteen while I was studying at a public library a man I had never met before in my life invited me to his church. I told him I was an atheist. He then leaned in, inches away from my face, and with the craziest eyes I have ever seen in my life very quietly said "I don't hate you for being an atheist. I don't think you're possessed or anything," and just stayed there. Still staring into my eyes. I said "Oh, that's cool. I have to go to the bathroom" and fled.

I was homeschooled for religious reasons and not allowed to socialize so I had a terrible phobia of strangers and was shaking so bad I dropped my books twice. I'm a lot better now but I still get a little worked up thinking about it!

I think anyone would react much the same way, phobia of strangers or not.

That is some creepy shit that guy pulled. o__O

I was fourteen as well, and heading to school a little later than usual (It was MCAS testing for the tenth/twelfth graders, so classes started later in the day) while walking past a bus stop, this lady ran up to me holding a stack of black and white photocopied images. She started talking "I know kids your age don't really believe in religion..." as she was talking I looked down at what she was showing me. A teenage boy, in fetal position, holding his head and the words "ORIGINAL SIN" over the image. I said "Ah, I got to get to school sorry" and started running.

Creepiest experience I've ever had with something like that XD
