my first religious nuts

[AKWalMartCartGuy]

had someone come up looking for a coworker, who had been working a different shift from me, so I hadn't met him yet, and he wasn't there, then they started asking weird questions, "is this your first job" "how old are you", but what are they going to do with that information? so i told them, then the religious shit

OW: old woman
YW:young woman
me:

OW:do you have a church you go to?
me:my parents do(doesn't that hint that religion has already been presented to me, and I don't agree with it?)
OW:why not?
me:*politely, but I guess I'm a little blunt*because I don't believe in God
OW:well, blah blah blah, I wasn't really listening
me:*politely*I really don't want to talk about that right now
OW: ok
YW:keeps talking, I wasn't listening
me:*firmly*I said I don't want to talk about that, I have to get back to work *walks away*


how many times can you hint that you don't want to hear it, then say straight up that you don't want to talk about it, before they give up? that question is like "how many licks does it take to get to the middle of a tootsie pop", I don't have time to find out

Sadly, the fastest way to get them to move on, they will find offensive, like saying you worship Satan, or that you don't care about their zombie-god on a stick. Which could get you into trouble with your manager.

Even more offensive: tell them you're Catholic. For some reason Catholics seem to be considered worse than Satanists to the extreme must-covert-everyone crowd.

Oh yay...another 'religious nut' thread. These things generally end up with a mod warning, so I will head it off before that happens.

As always, stick to the topic of people pushing religion on you in the workplace and refrain from any comments on the character of the people, the hypocrisy of Christians, the validity of any particular religion, or any other off topic areas one may be tempted to stray.

I don't want to give them anything to tell my manager, but I may use the satan worshipper or catholic lines. if I wanted to get in trouble I would have made perverted comments, like asking how committed to their cause they were in a pervy tone, while looking them up and down and seeing where that went

Uh...be careful what you wish for! Just kidding.

I just had this mental image of someone who was REALLY committed to their cause giving you a go in the name of the Lord!

I always go with "I'm happy with my religion." Right now I am lying in wait for my next "Are you saved? Much as I like teh save point answer someone here uses, I am ready with "Yes. 33 AD" and see if they get it.
