Go to Religion in the Modern World

- Go to Adventures in bible loony land
sam444 - in fairness to these people, they do both
They constantly talk about their faith but also practice what they preach on an ongoing basis.

ZenMom - In years past, I always told them that I was a Buddhist
. . .and once they graduated from Christianity, they could all be Buddhists as well but they would have to become much better people to make the grade.

Kabu - Yep, relentless religious zeal is rather annoying
Especially when they get into condemnation and other types of disdain that no one asks for.

Gomedome, a most notable sarcasm, the ones that I delight in
"forgive them, they love Jesus so much that they are overly exuberant"

Possible solution re: getting family to back off. It has worked for me. You need to give them SOMETHING ELSE to focus on........get a large tattoo......even if it's a temp. tattoo. Better yet, get a few of them. When they ask about the tattoo (and they will), tell them you got it right around the time you had your nipple pierced. Then watch them back away.......slowly. JESUS'S name will never come up...........(unless it's under their breath.....as in "jesus christ, he's a loon".......such fun.

LOL you're incorrigible! I loathe this type of zeal and it is so harmful
Just the thing to get up one's nose and turn them away from religion. I don't believe that a personal faith is religion. It should be lived not preached.
