When someone brings up god or jesus, my brain shuts off

The words 'bounce off' and I hear them but don't understand them... this is not a conscious effort. Is this normal?

    When people bring up their religion or why they lack religion, my brain just thinks of other things I'm interested in. XD

    • Same, I try really hard to focus but I know too much about science to have any meaningful reference point.

        No point in focusing if they're boring you. XD

      Everyone has heard the same fucking sales pitch for God a thousand times. Will the 1001st time make any difference? Of course not. Those proselytizers are complete idiots to think they are helping anybody.

        Yeah, I agree. The overly pushy religious people drive me nuts too. XD

    • Thank you for also mentioning people who obsess (often bitterly) over not being religious; they can easily be as annoying as zealous or happy-go-lucky Christians/religious people.

        Yeah. I'm Atheist and I find the Atheists who bash religion annoying as fuck. I wish everyone would just respect each other's beliefs. XD

      I'm fairly religious, but I don't care for people proselytizing, and trying to evangelize me. I can always tell when someone is preaching to me, because they start to remind of a salesperson. I can't stand it whenever people try to speak to me in persuasive way. It always makes me feel harassed and somewhat insulted.

        For some reason some people just think that their religion(or if they're atheist, lack of a religion) is the way everyone should be and they'll obnoxiously try to convert people. All it does is just push people away. XD

    Yep! I totally get it! Religious faggots try to justify themselevs and what theu do becasue of 'god' or some shit. Pisses me off that I used to be one of them. The world honestly needs more people like you.

    When someone brings up anyone other than Jim Pickens being my leader, I want to vomit. In all seriousness, mine does too.

    Ideological religion is bad, and that includes science.

    It just means you are shut off to hearing about the Judeo-Christian God. I actually understand this, because I feel much the same way when someone talks about Allah a lot from the get go.

      The muslim religion just seems extreme to me too. I dont think christians and muslims should live together but thats a whole other can of worms.

        Not necessarily Islam being extreme as that there are Muslim extremists. There are Christian extremists too, not as televised, possibly less common but I didn't look into the stats. People be crazy.

          But in muslim countries they still stone people to death. Women get executed for cheating on their husbands. Its not just the extremists its the whole culture.

            True. That doesn't mean the religion itself is bad / extreme.

            Also, I've been meaning to ask - are you WeirdGuyFromTheSouth or just a guy parodying him? If the former, did your original account get banned? Why? Just curious...

              It's weird, Idk why I get banned really. I follow the rules. It seems like the owner shows up every few days to ban people. He doesnt participate but just bans fun people. He banned Stain the other week! Stain was the funniest dude.
