<p>There were weird evangelical christians in Unit 3 priestley going to each door on each floor trying to encourage people to embrace God, the gospel, Jesus Christ, and Christianity. When they came to my door, I told them I already found god and he was a flying spaghetti monster. Then I told them I was not interested and closed the door. </p>
<p>*** is this. They were Korean btw, so they might represent a korean-majority church that's near by (Sorry if this seems a bit racist- I'm not. I have tons of korean friends, but these guys that came to our door seemed a bit wacko). They said that they were students who had previously lived in Priestley hall</p>
<p>But idk, I thought it was disrespectful because they went up to Muslim girls wearing hijabs and other people telling them to embrace Jesus Christ ect...</p>
<p>hah. 2 Korean girls came up to me, not even from our school apparently. I was just sitting there in memorial glade and they came up to me too. I let them humor me</p>
<p>I’m not Christian myself (atheist), but I don’t really see what’s to spaz about. Apparently, some Christians knocked on your door and you were completely disrespectful about it rather than they to you. It really sounds like you’re just exaggerating to be honest. It’s no more as crazy than CALPIRG people or those asking for donations.</p>
<p>^wth? how is not disrespectful? CALPIRG doesn’t have an agenda in changing your fundamental religious beliefs, and doesn’t have the premise that Christianity is the true path towards spirituality and all other faiths are inferior. CALPIRG is just asking for donations, where these guys are trying to convert people. I saw them going up to clearly Muslim girls telling them to embrace Jesus Christ and converting to Christianity. Tell me how that’s not disrespectful.</p>
<p>If you define agenda as synonymous to evangelical Christians wanting you to change your fundamental religious beliefs, then CALPIRG has the agenda of taking your money. And so does other people asking for donations. You can always skew people’s “agenda” to make it sound “unappealing”.</p>
<p>Although I’m an atheist, I’m pretty knowledgeable about evangelism and I’m sure the message was to consider Christ as possibly being your savior and to question your beliefs or current mindset, even if it is currently Christianity, since ultimately, the point is to encourage people to think about what philosophy ultimately is true.</p>
<p>So in your example with Muslim girls, I’m sure they told them to consider other religions, especially Christianity, which you probably summed up as “telling them to embrace Jesus”. This is not impolite at all as you’re just telling a person to consider whether or not your faith is truly what you should believe in, as people should always be skeptic.
If you want a soundbite, it’s like giving the advice, “forever remain skeptic”.</p>
