Just curios... but has anyone else had issues with complete strangers starting religious conversations and or end of the world speak?
I’m not the kind of person to ever approach someone with religious or political views (especially a stranger) but for some reason, I find that some people don’t care who they offend or freak out? Is this kind of behavior common?

Everything Jesus is is the opposite of your religion. That's what he told my cousin Elvis.

I was actually not trying to offend anybody. Simply curious why I’ve experienced this often without saying a word or initiating conversation?

I think I have a vibe that says I'm not very Jeezusy, but it took a few years after I moved here to cultivate that vibe. Around here it's pretty normal for people to hit you with J-bombs, especially if they think you are new in town.

No worries. The competition for attention is ramped up. If Jesus is on your side why be patient or kind? lol.
We are in LA (lower alabammy) Keep in mind you are in Huckabee country. Newcomer?

thank you for your honesty. I don’t do Facebook or hardly any social media. I chose this forum because it’s local and at least has people that have been to our town. I’ve lived here for nearly 19 years and try to keep to myself and especially my opinions. Our town has grown and I guess I’m very approachable because I definitely don’t look like someone you shouldn’t mess with, lol! I’m in an odd situation because I actually believe in a Creator ( which I call God because I feel most people identify with that name ) but I’m not religious... I have nothing against Jesus or his teachings at all but I can’t pretend to be something I’m not by going to church. I even don’t have anything against church goers but I feel I have to run from certain salesmen. Even some of my best friends are religious but they’re not extremist. I appreciate your views and it helps to know that I’m not the only person that has experienced this.

Hi Jensky,
It’s possibly this pandemic that is causing people to preach and spread their word more... I’ve lived here for a nearly 19 years but it seems that people are getting more amped up? I guess I wasn’t raised to speak about certain topics to complete strangers? Lately I find it’s been more common and I feel that people that express their religious or political opinions in public might have underlying traits that are concerning? I’ve been to many countries and met people of so many different religions and have never had anyone try to recruit me, save me or preach to me before I moved here! Thank you for letting me know that I am not alone in noticing this continuing occurrence.
