the smells of countryside living on a farm and horses (now I am not talking about their deposits). The smell of saddle soap for the bridles and saddles. Beeswax for polishing floors, the smell of an open fire roaring and my mothers cooking.
A few weeks ago the JW's came knocking on my door for the umpteenth time. Yet again they were disturbing my researching and I saw red - still, I tried to be polite in telling them I would gladly discuss my Atheism for something of a change - they havent been back in a while this time - it must have been my reaction to the dimwit who said "just before we go can i ask you where you think little babies come from"[/quote]
Yes i heard that one before. Babies come zooming in from outerspace on little comets.
My father set the standard at home during the 90's there were numerous religious people of all sorts knocking on the door stating their case. Now this method was let them say their piece for a couple of minutes, interject with "If you give me £10,000, I shall become one of your followers" Since then, they just by-pass the house.
I got collared by the Scientologists a little while back and they asked me if I would take a stress test, well my reaction was in typical good old looney tune style, I left them standing and went on my merry little way.
One woman in particular who denounced her religion being Ayaan Hirsi Ali, originally from Somalia, moved to Holland and made a life for herself, and to say it was a struggle for her would be an understatement.
Many religious people have crossed my path throughout my life due to where I have travelled and worked. Now I have discovered that the true believers do not try and convert others as this is borderline on extremism. Not one of my Iraqi friends has tried to convert as this is not in their interest to do so. Why because there are actually some people out there on this planet no matter what religion they are respect others for their own beliefs. So how about you respecting other peoples beliefs here. And if you are able stop trying to persude others your religion is right, because just like any other it has many flaws.
Plus you must not automatically assume people have not read the Quran or even been educated. What we chose to do with the knowledge that we gain from reading any religious texts is entirely up to ourselves.
In general you will find religious people out on the streets, knocking on your door, posting leaflets through the letter boxes more so than people who do not follow religion. Why because they are not interested in trying to convert people.
When threads like these are posted I generally find not many will actually discuss, but just want to sow the seeds of their own religious beliefs and propaganda. Such are not prepared to listen to others and debate in a reasonable manner because their minds are closed and some are just completely brainwashed.
The truth being we are all different and believe in what the hell we like. Look truth up in the dictionary and there is no reference to religion or aethism.
