Naw, if their beliefs are working for them why would I mess with that? My deconversion took years and so far has been the most painful thing I've ever done.

Plus if what they're doing works, logical arguments or questioning their beliefs will seem like a challenge or even a personal attack.

Over the last 20 years, I've ran into many people whose religion wasn't working for them and I strive to be like some of the awesome people who helped me when Christianity stopped making sense for me.

I also don't take offense when people say they'll pray for me or whatever. I take it as a sincere wish for me to be ok, grow and be healthy.

Evangelize? No. Educate and encourage reasoning through attentive discussion, rather than brain-dead normative arguments and other idiocy? Yes.

Evangelize isn't the correct word unless we're preaching the gospil of "get the hell out of my face with that crap!"

People who proselytize for any reason are uniformly annoying.

They believe they are happy. To me it is a demonstration of "ignorance is bliss". If I were to try to change their beliefs they would just double down. They need to find their own way out.

Yes. I want too.

But I don't.

Because I've learned better.

Only thing that bothers me is them posting things as DEFINITELY TRUE because JESUS. Those posts bring out a knee jerk, um, that's not neccessarily accurate.

I'd love for them to come to reason, but I do not bother to attempt to bring them
to that realization.

No.

I have a deeply religious sister (a local church preacher) and neither of us speaks to the other about religion or faith.

No. I tell them to get away from me with that bullshit and don't care how it affects any relationship. If they're religious we don't have much of one anyway.
