You need to go to church/temple/a mosque etc.

I cant stand when I hear this when it's directed towards me in someway or that I should just "come along". Really like said person(s) is a bright shining example of how whatever religion says to live their life and treat others. Yet they don't even remotely live up to whatever their religions ethics are. I'm not one for religion personally, but that's just me. I really don't like when someone wants to push it on me or thinks I'm lost because I don't agree with their viewpoint. But the thing that really gets me is when someone is part of some religion and they're not a good person at all, don't follow the ethics they're told to follow etc... You would think this would be the perfect kind of person for some type of religion to be a control and make them a better person..

But I really think most of these people think they can be an asshole 6 23/24 of the week and that hour or so they spend at whatever religious service. Like it's going to give them a free entrance ticket to the pearly gates. As if they're going to show up and be told - well sure you lied a lot, deceived, took and didn't give, were unfair, and the list goes on. However you read what you have been told is my word and went to what you were told is my house so all is forgiven! Sure what you were given something as my word that had ethics for you to follow and you didn't but well ya tried.. slugger!

This rant was half about a person..

I'm open to different religions, but the pushing is really annoying.

I see what you said sometimes too. People call themselves good (insert religion here) and then go on being terrible people.

And meh, you don't need to go to a church/temple/mosque to be religious or even just spiritual.

The pushy people tend to turn more people off than on to any sort of spirituality or religion.

Sorry you had bad experiences :/
