Why don't you believe in Hell?

I've brought it up more than a few times. I usually pray at lunch infront of them because I do thank the Lord before I eat, always.

More than a few times is annoying, at least. Once they've told you they're not interested, it'd be nice to back off.

Now praying in front of them is just something they'll have to deal with, but they don't have to tolerate your continual sermons.

Ahhh... Pleased to meet you...

Ya know, I much prefer the G'n'R version for some reason.

They may be happy now but what about when they die without Jesus?

Then they die without Jesus, as millions and millions of others have and will continue to. You must learn to entertain the notion that your views are not necessarily right - no more so than theirs, or anyone else's who you come across.

I suggest you leave them be and salvage whatever you can of your working relationship with them.

They pray too but they usually just bow their heads and whisper/think their prayer. Mine is always outloud because I figure if someone hears it they have heard of the Lord and if the Lord is on everyone's mind that is a good thing.

Right I do not believe in the easter bunny. How can I be bitter towards him. My parents never fed me that garbage about santa clause and all that other children's fantasy mumbo jumbo.

Thank you for proving my point.

Jews don't believe in Jesus, hence they can't be bitter about him

Athiest don't believe in Jesus, We can't be bitter at someone that we don't believe exists

It's as rediculous as you being bitter at the Easter Bunny

Jesus said to pray silently and in private. Please do this.

Your arrogance, 1inC, borders on intolerance. Your sheer disrespect for the wishes and views of others is despicable.

See, now you're edging back into that annoying thing again. Not to mention, Jebus doesn't like it when you pray like that. Check Matthew 6:5-6 and find a closet.

I know you have the best of intentions. But you seem to just be annoying your coworkers, not converting them. Maybe you should try a more sublte form of worship. Because what you are doing is making people "bitter toward Christianity".

Not all Jews are that way, but I can see how the ones that have met you might grow bitter
 
There is a wonderful quote by St Francis (I know he was Catholic, but give him a chance) which I can't find at this moment but the gist of it is that his best "sermons" involved NO words at all.

Something to consider.

He doesn't border on intolerance, he long ago flew right past it. I've met lots of Christians, I'm even related to some. None of them have been as intolerant as 1inC. He makes such a good case for avoiding Christianity, and he's not even smart enough to see it.

He embodies the three traits I most dislike in other people--stupidity, racism and homophobia. Combine that with his intolerance for every religion except the Church of the Garage and you have one very sad, unlikable person.

Sure thing. Just FedEx me the mud-wrestling video, and I'll get right on it.

We're both Buddhists ~ at best, we'll mud-meditate for you.

Exactly. 1inChrist, read Lisa's words here - do they mean anything to you? You are a hazard to yourself and others, and my greatest fear for you is that you don't see it.
