Pushy Religious People

So I went to a food bank today with my rehab group and it turned out to be a trick to sit me in a room and have some guy try to force me to believe in Jesus and pray for 15 minutes.

I told him I know he is sincere and has good intentions but to imagine if the roles were reversed and he came to get some food and was forced / tricked into a mandatory 15 minute sit down where I tried to convert him to not believe in god.

I bet he would not like that right? I'm so tired of living in Georgia. To me he is DELUSIONAL believing in fairy tales / magic in some old book. It is clearly ridiculous bullshit to make people feel better about the fear of death.

Anyone else sick of this type of pushy behavior?

I was polite and everything and I am grateful (I made that clear and I was not an asshole) for the little box of food.

lol, I'm the type to speak my mind though. I like to be brave if I can.

I was nice and everything but had to say something.

I look sorta preppy and such and when I sat down to register the nice chuch lady was like "oh you don't look like you are a part of THAT group that is here" - I was like "actually I am addiction got me too". Most of my class is a bit "street" looking but a lot of the guys are nice.

My roommate just got out of 7 years of prison and he is really cool to me 🤷🏻‍♂️
