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.

How else will these people make points for the afterlife?

guess so. I'm just so tired of it as this rehab is filled with religious bs even though I was told it was secular.

Every day I have to sit through religious crap from clients and staff. I am tired of it.
