It proves that shes saying exactly what i did. there are annoying people everywhere, just ignore them instead of complaining.
Report as
I can complain if I want. They're annoying, no one is interested in their fairytales.
Report as
Fairy tales? Really then if you have the right to complain how you don't believe in an all knowing god then surely we all have the right o believe in one and not being told they are fair tales.

I'm going to tell you how stupid your beliefs are when you attempt to change mine. End of story. Don't preach to me, I won't preach to you. Personally, I don't care what people believe in as long as they leave me out of it.

perfect answer ... Cjkenkel
Report as
Yeah, because answering a question with a question is a perfect answer. Real explanatory.
Report as
It actually answers your question. So yes, sometimes answering a question with a question works.
Report as
Not really. It doesn't explain why religious people are annoying at all.
Report as
believers of devil could never believe in GOD ...
Report as
I'm sorry if you don't understand. Perhaps you should get an education.
Report as
your last comment Cjkenkel is for me ?
Report as
No madhur. I'm sorry about that. It is for the girl who doesn't understand how my question, answered her question. For Subarashii15.
Report as
@madhur, I'm a Pastafarian, your point is invalid.
@Chkenkel, wow, insults, that only shows your fustration with yourself.
Report as
Actually, do you care to explain how nonreligious people are annoying then?
Report as
I'm insulting you, because I answered your question, and you do no understand how my answer, answered your question? No insults meant. But perhaps if you were educated a little more, you would understand how my question, DID, answer your question.
Report as
hey, when you believe in GOD, how could you find FOLLOWERS of GOD "annoying"? that shows lack of proper mentality and immaturity of yours.

and got your point Cjkenkel ...
Report as
I am here, arguing with an obvious non-religious person. This is part of my point. You have no want to believe in anything, so no matter what a person says, facts or not, you are SET in your belief. You are no going to change your mind. I am in no way trying to make you change, as I, myself am Agnostic. You ask questions, but the answers you get, you automatically throw out. I don't understand why religious people attack non-religious people, nor do I understand why non-religious people attack religious people. We are all here, blind, trying to find the light. Wether that light is the right light or not, we will NEVER know. No sense in arguing someone else's belief.
Report as
Actually, I got your point. And I am properly educated. I just want a REAL explanation, not just some senseless comment.
Report as
i agree Cjkenkel:
Report as
@Madhur, god nor Satan exist. They're annoying because all they know how to do is push their religion onpeople, I'm here to find the cause of what makes then think they're so special.
Report as
proper answer then -

believers of devil could never believe in GOD ...
Report as
And again, I explain myself, again, and you still shrug it off as nothing. I have wasted my time, for nothing. And you still don't get it. lol
Report as
*Facepalm* I replied that after your last.
Report as
Subarashii15, you do NOT know for certain neither one exists. You are throwing out things, that could very well exist. And saying, because people DO believe that they exist, those people are annoying. These people, you say are annoying, are doing as their God bids, and trying to help people who are non-believers find the light. How is this so annoying. if that person saved someone's "soul" from eternal damnation. How are they annoying?
Report as
Because I rejected their religion, thus they should leave me alone. They tend to have a hard time grasping the concept of "no". I prefer to actually live my life in logic. Or at least not in a religion that practically copied from other religions.
Report as
if you left the religion, why asking about religion. study physics then.
Report as
Then simply speak up for yourself. Perhaps that is more so your problem then "annoying" religious people.
Report as
I do. Speaking up actually tends to attract them more.
Report as
@Madhur Am I asking about religion? No. I'm asking about religious people. I know just about every religion you can name. From Christianity to Asastru to Jainism.
Report as
Well, you tell them, I'm not interested, and after that just don't talk to them. We have Jehovah Witness's who knocked on our doors all the time, after telling them we weren't interested for the 20th time, I finally answered the door naked one day. They haven't been back since. I got my point across, and instead of saying someone was annoying, I took actions, and got what I wanted out of it.
Report as
No-one is going to stand up for you, but you.
Report as
I'm aware. But it's complicated to ignore religious people when you're the only Atheists in your family, either.... I tend to defend my beliefs well and stand up for them.
Report as
you don't understand it, leave it ... i suggest this, otherwise we would go mad, or you would go mad
Report as
leave family then, find PEACE ....
Report as
She's probably not old enough.
Report as
I understand religion, and I'm not going to abandon my family. Do you have anything useful to say?
Report as
I really don't want to abadin my family, I tend to actually love them, even though they follow a senseless religion.
Report as
Senseless to you is meaningful to them. You need to come to an understanding with them, just like they need to come to an understanding with you. Have you tried talking to them? I mean honestly sitting them down, telling them how you feel about their religion, and telling them how it makes you upset everytime they try to force something upon you?
Report as
Yes, I have. All I got was "I'll pray for you that'll you'll see the light".
Report as
When you have the talk again, because I'm sure you will. Tell them to leave it at that. Pray for you. And let you do your thing. I seen this rip my best friend and her father (who's a Christian pastor) apart. She moved to Georgia and hasn't talked to him since highschool. Which was 13 years ago. If you don't try to find a solid ground now, you are going to resent or even hate your family. And you do not want that.
Report as
I already did talk to them, they ignored all my logic and I got was "I'll pray that you'll see the light...". That, I find extremely annoying.
Report as
I know, you did say that once. What I'm saying is, when you have "the talk" again. Meaning, you should talk to them again. After they say "I'll pray for you" ask them to leave it at that.
Report as
Okay then...
Report as
Sorry but... I have to agree. Green:) we're annoying? We don't ask rude questions like this, for example....
Report as
Still can't believe this has 53 comments..
Report as
@Shaylen, it's not rude, it's a question. Its not my fault you're so touchy.
Report as
Atheists shouldn't bash our beliefs. It's rude and unnecessary.
Report as
It's hard to not bash beliefs when theists personally attack atheists with there statements. Beliefs are one thing but you start mentioning the people and you will have a problem to sort out with them.
Report as
@sub-it's not rude?
"why are non religious people so annoying?"
Is that rude to you? Obviously, due to all the comments here. Double standards much? I hate when people are dishonest! If you're going to be rude, don't deny it. It's not even a question you can really answer, because it's an opinion.
Report as
Wait a minute, I am the one who asked "why are non-religious people so annoying". In response to her question, how was this rude? smh
Report as
I didn't think it was rude, no. Sorry that came out wrong! I thought it was like giving perspective to this question that was rude. I greened it

Some people, whether religious or otherwise, try to force other people into their mode of thinking. It is possible to express your beliefs and even carry on debates while maintaining a respectful attitude, although to hear some people carry on you wouldn't think so. Such bitter argument is actually counterproductive. You may have valid points but if you bring them up in a hostile and combative attitude you're not going to win anyone over with them.

Because they think your acts or deeds are worthless because they are not done through christ. It's like "I just made every human on earth orgasm simultaneously with my mind!" them :"Well I felt that but was it done through christ?" "no" "well then it sucked and was not good, you shouldn't do witch craft."

Annoying behavior is not the exclusive provenance of theists. It's a two-way street, in my experience. But tolerance of others, and especially of religious differences, is our American way. I am certain of one thing: I am as supportive of the rights of atheists to not worship as I am of theists to worship, and of both their rights to free speech.

They want to force their beliefs on you because they think they're saving you. Judaism is it like that.

Ugh, they want to try to forcibly spread the word and trying to persuade people that God is real..Which I think is so dumb because EVERYONE has their own opinions, and everyone has the right to pick any religion they want.

Because some just are and I'm sure being annoying isn't a trait or habit that is only found in someone religious. Maybe because you are so closed minded.

What I am seeing here is ridiculous!!!! You people are complaining on how annoying religious people are, when you don't realize how obnoxious you people are acting!!! You are talking to them like they are brainless idiots who believe in "fairy tales" and you expect them to act tame? Love one another! God made us to speak our own minds and have free will, but he didn't make us so we can spew hatred towards one another! We need learn how to be professional here and stop acting like 13 year olds!!!

The thing is that most don't subscribe to basic logic and freely use fallacy as fact. I don't mean to act like they are idiot's I just don't know what parts I should be extra clear about. Discontinuities among logic make a great deal of difference in a conversation. Ever try to explain quantum physics to a third grader? It's not that they are stupid it's that the bible tends to corrupt data about observable reality and cultivates an attitude that makes it hard for the subscriber to integrate information. I really mean no disrespect when I spell things out so simply; I just don't know where to start sometimes. What I expect is for them t act like christians or muslims or catholics or mormons or jws. They decide what that means for me. My hate extends to no one for there religious affiliation only for there behavior.
Report as
I believe in god and am not trying to attack Christianity. I am disappointed and disgusted with people who use the bible and their religion to gain advantage and/or justify immorality and rudeness. I don't proclaim my religion publicly because I believe if you are not conducting yourself in a way that people want what you have, you might be running them away from god.
Report as

I'm not sure this would be the only reason, but sometimes when we feel that someone will just not listen "to reason", it can seem very irritating. And, christians who are fully convinced may listen some to others, but don't seem to change or fluctuate from their beliefs and they just seem to stand firmly. It may appear at times, that they don't care about another person, when actually, it is quite the contrary, they do care and because they care for others and for themselves, they won't bend or change for any reason as far as swaying from the truth they have come to know and believe. I'm sure there are other reasons and some maybe not honorable possibly, but maybe they have been covered in other answers or will be. So, I just mentioned this one.
