I agree completely. I don't have a problem with anyone's religious beliefs. Just don't try to push them on me.

>What can be annoying is to have someone attempt to convert you to his/her religious viewpoint when it is not asked for. I have a friend who is an atheist, and one day two people rang his doorbell, to attempt to convert him to their religion. He invited them in and sat them down for a nice long talk. When my friend finished with them, they were confused about their own faith.

>>Yes but I'm not seeing whole lot of empathy from people who are basically saying "shut up ". Maybe some people feel a little told off by this sort of religious zeal. I have no problem with it due to my early hefty catholic inoculation against all things religious. It has just left me curious about how people can believe these things. Why is it different to say believing in magic.

>>>I actually agree with both you and Hugo on this. (I twitted facetiously just to see how it works ) It is easy to just not click on responses you know a priori are going to be painful.

It is not so much the discomfort they are causing you but you can only ignore their plight if you completely shut off all human empathy. That is a skill I don't like to find myself refining.
