Very interesting monologue from Ricky Gervaise. I agree with a lot of what he says.

I used to work with a woman who was a church attendee and it came in a conversation once in a group at work that I wasn't a believer. I didn't care that she went to church and wanted to believe if it gave her comfort but she cared very much that I didn't believe and often made an issue of it to me. Odd really.

My wife has a friend who is very religious - more religious, it turns out, than we thought for years. We knew she was a believer etc. but thought it was in a more casual way, but have realized over the years that she's actually full-on God Squad (my wife helped the family to move house recently, along with a number of "Church people", and after they were all done and having tea in the kitchen... the conversation immediately turned to how awesome God and Jesus are ).

But yes, she has recently started admitting that she "worries about" us and her other non-religious friends... like actively gets upset sometimes about the fact that we won't get into heaven. Which I suppose is nice 'n' all but... please.

That's her choice as long as she isn't actively trying to convert you or becoming a nuisance then I don't see the issue

It creeps me out . I don't like the idea of people "praying for me".

We have no control over other peoples feelings towards us, so aside from telling her straight to stop and her honouring your wishes you will just have to live with your soul being saved

Well apparently it's futile anyway! You have to actually become a Christian to get in, even if all of the other Christians vouch for you . Maybe she's praying for us to become Christians?

Quick, someone form a TiBB group, "Actively Praying for TS' Soul"
