Religious Zealot Infestation: What to do about it???
Mar 16, 2014 21:59:04 #
It seems some religious proselytisers have discovered OPP. They show up on threads with totally off-topic posts to lure in potential customers.
They think they will accumulate brownie points for heaven if they convert "heathens" and practitioners of "false religions" over to their way of thinking.
I was just responding to a brand new thread on pit bulls when it was hijacked by a door-to-door bible thumper spouting fire and brimstone.
I think all posters, left, right, and center, should not respond to these bible trolls nor encourage them in anyway. There are plenty of "true believer" websites where they can go and peddle this stuff.
If left unchecked these folks will become a religious version of a computer v***s and will destroy all communication.
I think its time for v***s control.

In all my days I have never been the subject of proselytising by any Muslim. Can't say the same for fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist Orthodox Jews. (remember Orthodox Jews do not proselytize to Christians but they sure as hell preach to "lapsed" Jews).
Both groups are extremely annoying and I avoid them as much as possible.
If some day a Muslim tries to preach to me I will avoid them too. So far, however, in all my 63 years it has never happened. It's not for lack of opportunity. There are many Muslims who live in my neighborhood and I have interacted with a number of them in Israel.

I agree.
Was clearing out my overlooked messages and came across this.

Fred Phelps is close to death, in hospice care...maybe you're post about religious liberty is an appropriate conversation.

I sometimes find them annoying too, but to do as you suggest would mean suspension of the 1st Amendment. I wouldn't worry too much. It will happen soon enough. It says so in the Bible!

He went too far in my opinion despite scotus rule on religious liberty. I doubt they will behave in kind; it would sort of support his behavior.

That is a betwixt and between question. Frankly, I think they should show up in a mass crowd. To take a step further; which would not work for you, but try solving for X, they should all carry Bibles, sing hymns and loudly read Bible verses. If they plan quietly enough, it could be a surprise.

Suspension of the Bill of Rights is acceptable to Brian in order to not upset his positions on matters.
