Have you had any unnecessary badgering from people wanting to change you, because they aren't exactly happy about your lack of belief on this website?
A couple of days ago, a woman messaged me and asked me if I had a moment to talk about Christ with her.. (Didn't know I was on ChristianMingle.com) .. and I politely told her that I was not interested. When she went on to ask me why, I made the mistake. I told her I wasn't religious, and it's just not something I'm interested in talking about.
That's when the "I will pray for you" comments.. I was polite about it, told her I wasn't interested, and then she started throwing her bibles and crucifixes at me.
Just wondering if you've had any issues on here.
I normally don't talk about what I do or don't believe in, but that was pretty much unavoidable. I'd rather let her know why I wasn't interested instead of ignoring her all together. I figured that would have been more rude.

It hasn't been an issue on here at all. If it's on your profile you could leave it off and no one would ever have to know you're an evil atheist :P0

I'm not an atheist, in fact, I'm a Christian and Pastor's wife, but I had someone inbox me to hound me about our "shared" faith and to emphasize my role as a pastor's wife, and to give me advice. I didn't respond at all. Creepy if you ask me!0

Please don't stop reading this but your title intrigued me as I am a Christian. I can only apologise for this person's attitude which I like to feel is not what I would consider to be a normal Christian one. I would never try to force my beliefs on others- I believe that the best witness is actually one of love.
All the very best with your weight loss journey x0 -
