I agree with you. I'm a Catholic, but I hate all the people on my campus who just love shoving their faith down other peoples throats. CRU (the Christian group on my campus) even "attacked" several of my friends telling them they are horrible people and that they are going to hell. That's not cool emotion_donotwant
There was even a "war" by the means of chalking on campus between the Christian club and the atheist club. Each side spammed the sidewalks with colorful quotes from the Bible to upset the other group. It even got the attention of the local news :0
Now the school is considering limiting chalking to events only on the sidewalks.
Does this mean I can't play hopscotch? ._.

Its "Christian" stuff like that (okay, technically I'm using the true Scotsman fallacy when it comes to Christians, but I'm pretty sure that spreading the Good News/Jesus info did not involve picket signs and involved more stuff like serving the less fortunate and letting actions speak for themselves) that aggravates the hell outta me. Cos when people b***h about stupidity of religion, it's those folks that make the front page. Not the little missionary schools providing an education or programs providing clean water sources in Africa or people going to build houses in other countries or the nursing programs from religious schools that go to third world countries on trips to provide medical relief. emotion_donotwant
Like the St. Vincent de Paul stuff we got running right now. It may be a religious-run aspect, and info is provided upon request; but the primary aspect of the program is to help people by giving them food and job connections. I think the most religious thing I've ever done with them is when we're delivering a christmas dinner (with a frozen turkey) to some families is give them a little wooden nativity set and a pamphlet in both english and spanish explaining the story of Jesus and why we do what we do. And when handing it over, it's basically "hey this stuff is about jesus, if you wanna read it, that's great if not, that's cool. We hope you can get out of your crisis mode." Most people are so thrilled we're giving them an actual turkey dinner that they really don't care about the two lines we pop about baby Jesus.
...did not mean to write that much sweatdrop It's something I feel terribly strong about; same with people acting stupid and hypersexualizing the image of LGBTQ rights.
Now I need to find a queer Catholic shirt and wear it to school. I've already silenced my nursing group by openly asking about treatments and addressing transsexual individuals on a medical standpoint
