so i was out in town and oh my, i had loads of people the bible people keep coming up to me and 2 even chashing me down the street to ask my babys name and ask me if they could pray for her ( my baby is ginger and on oxygen so not sure which bit they was praying for)... now while i think this is kind, it is also a bit off putting the way they do it, it makes u feel ur baby is on the verge of dying or something.
do u think people should not approch people in the street cos they dont know each persons own views, or what... i guess i would not have minded if it had not been for the amount of the people (all from the same place. same sheets they were hounding out...
and so i am guessing with all the prays my little one has had today, tomorrow she should wake up without oxygen, or without ginger hair   |

To be honest i just tell them i dont come to them telling them gods a load of crap so i would rather they show me the same respect and not push their views on my face
Then walk off/shut the door |

It's not just those that bug me, I hate anyone who invades my outings. Be it religious, charity appealers (if I wanna donate I will of my own choosing not because someone harasses me in the shopping centre) market research people, double glazing........ffs the list is endless.
It gets to the point where I avoid town so I don't get stopped 5 or 6 times walking the high street. |

I let a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses in once, sat them down and asked what they wanted to talk about.... They burst into tears.....
"We don't know.... No-one's let us in before..." |

Should be the same with all street pedallers.
If I want a credit card I'll ask for one. If I want RAC, I'll ask for it, if I've been injured I'll find my own lawyers. I only wanna do me shopping |

I understand why they feel the need to guide other people towards their own religion, but it really bugs me. I think religion is very personal. I hate 'recruiters'. |

Why are all catholics described as devout 
Well I'm sort of catholic but fundamentally I'm sort of catholic but not fully fledged enough to be described as devout 
P.S. I was christened and have no religious beliefs  |
