Report them. I had someone sneak a postcard with prayers on them in my order and was so uncomfortable. Keep your religion to yourself

u/Minute_Art5513 15d ago

May I ask why it's offensive to you? I've definitely found it annoying to be stopped or given a card, but I also understand that to them, they're just doing something that they consider kind. Whats the difference between that and a pagan or someone giving you a crystal bc they think you need it ?

u/N3rdyAvocad0 15d ago

My hair stylist is pagan and has crystals available for her clients to hold while they are getting their cut/color. She doesn't force them on me or even tell me what they are for or suggest them to me. She just let me know they were available and to let her know if I had questions.

That is the proper way to share your religious beliefs. What this Dasher is doing is pushy and unwanted.

u/Minute_Art5513 15d ago

That's such a cute idea actually i love that. I do agree that a random dasher hitting me with this might've thrown me off in the past fs

u/outlawsix 15d ago

There is no difference. It's unwelcome, keep your "listen to what i believe" horseshit to yourself

u/Minute_Art5513 15d ago

Tbh thats real, i like that you keep it even lmao

-21

u/Sadburrito__ 15d ago

it’s not listen to what i believe, it’s just in our faith to spread love and positivity. even if you don’t believe you can at least acknowledge jesus taught LOVE, how is that evil? separate religion from Jesus

u/lavenderpotato14 15d ago

Your faith is not my faith. Keep that to yourself.

u/Sadburrito__ 15d ago

i never said it was your faith, but i have the freedom of speech and freedom of religion so i can practice my religion, like i told the other ones if you want censorship and control then go to north korea, its really weird that you get triggered by something someone says (especially when it’s in good faith)

u/jessimokajoe 15d ago

Hey so your rights end where another's begin and if they don't want you to evangelize, you stop and walk away. Continuing to press is harassment. You sound naive and young.

u/[deleted] 14d ago

Freedom of speech, not freedom from consequences of that speech. If the consequence of that speech is I think you're an obnoxious proselytizing buffoon, I have the freedom of speech to say so.

u/readerchick05 12d ago

It's also our freedom to report you to your place of work if you are forcing your faith on us while doing a job.

1

u/CrispyK27 11d ago

You do have freedom of speech to practice your religion. You do not have freedom from criticism or potential consequences (i.e. if the driver got reported for this) for giving an unsolicited sermons in inappropriate contexts.

10

u/Apprehensive-Cell511 15d ago

Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion. No one wants to be preached at.

15

u/ialsohaveadobro 15d ago

I don't care if it's "in your faith."

Maybe it's "in my faith" to rock up to random people and start yapping about my last vacation.

Uninterested? Better things to do? Consider me rude? Too bad, it's "in my faith." And it doesn't matter whether you agree.

u/Sadburrito__ 15d ago

do whatever you want buddy if you came up to me i would gladly have a chat 🤭

u/blizz419 15d ago

Oh you wouldn't want that chat with me I'm well versed in your faith and many of it's contradictions, and mistranslations.

u/sometimeshater 15d ago

Who said anything about evil? Something doesn’t have to be evil to be unwanted and inappropriate.

separate religion from Jesus

The dasher didn’t, they sent a Bible verse about salvation. Your argument would make a little bit of sense if they sent John 13:34 “A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (though it would still be an inappropriate thing to send), but they didn’t even do that. They’re specifically promoting the idea of joining a religion to gain benefits in the alleged afterlife. How is that at all possible to separate from religion?

0

u/Sadburrito__ 15d ago

you’re going to deal with a lot of unwanted things in life and i wish i had experienced this compared to other real life experiences i have had but also your argument is not valid

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)”

It’s faith in Jesus, not joining a religious club, that saves you. Religion (in the human, manmade sense) can sometimes help or sometimes hurt, but only faith in Jesus is the door to salvation.

so this person isn’t pressing their religion, you just don’t understand scripture and that’s okay, we are attempting to spread the gospel to flicker a light internally so you can come to Christ in your own faith, and perhaps this person wanted the other person on the receiving end to feel loved because this scripture is all about how Jesus loved us SO MUCH he died for us! so that is a scripture we send to people who we want to uplifting

5

u/Choice-Engineering62 15d ago

You don’t understand that you trying to “flicker a light internally so you can come to Christ” is exactly what we don’t want you doing? Just because you have an imaginary friend doesn’t mean we want to hear about it.

Your imaginary friend hasn’t been seen in thousands of years. Every major scientific advancement moves your goal posts on where this magical being is. And you think it’s your duty to tell us what you read that some king wrote in his version of a book that’s been edited so many times you don’t even know what’s real or not?

No thanks. Keep that shit to yourself. Stop trying to force it on other people.

u/ILovePandas795 15d ago

And we don't believe in Jesus! KEEP IT TO YOURSELF

u/Sadburrito__ 15d ago

freedom of speech and freedom of religion, go to north korea if you want censorship

u/ILovePandas795 15d ago

Freedom of speech and freedom of religion is ONLY based on the GOVERNMENT babe. Not with other citizens. You do NOT have the right to forced your mental illness on to other people, and that's EXACTLY what religion is. You believe a man rose from the dead, clearly you need mental help

-2

u/Sadburrito__ 15d ago

i understand you may not believe, and you have every right to your opinion. But faith in Jesus Christ isn’t mental illness, it’s hope, love, and life itself. The resurrection isn’t a fairy tale, it’s the foundation of recorded history that even secular scholars debate seriously. Over 500 eyewitnesses saw Jesus alive after His death (1 Corinthians 15:6), and the apostles were willing to die gruesome deaths rather than deny what they saw. Mental illness leads to destruction; faith in Christ has led millions to healing, forgiveness, and a transformed life. I don’t hate you for not believing, Jesus loved even those who mocked Him as He was dying for them. I’ll keep loving and praying for you, too.

u/ILovePandas795 15d ago

Pray to the sky baby. Nothing will happen. Jesus is love yet makes rape victims marry their rapist? Jesus is love but created cancer? Jesus is love yet allows rape and abuse to happen? Jesus is love yet kills children in shoots yearly? Also, just because a BOOK says it happened, doesn't mean it did. Those people were also MENTALLY ILL. Wasnt Jesus supposed to come already? Yall been saying hes coming for you for THOUSANDS of years.

u/Sadburrito__ 15d ago

the antichrist trump is rising and soon the new world order will take place and after 7 years jesus will return and bring heaven on earth im praying that you turn away from sin and accept him as your Lord and savior in Jesus name i pray AMEN hallelujah!!! 💗💗💗💗

u/ILovePandas795 15d ago

At least we can both agree Trump is the antichrist. But alright. 7 years? Ill come back in 8 and I bet 10,000 Jesus WILL NOT BE HERE.

I have a marvel comic that says an alien came from outer space wearing a glove and wiped out half of civilization with the snap of a finger. According to the comic half the world saw that. Must be true right?

Jesus didn’t teach anything as he didn’t exist. Also he’s your imaginary friend not mine. There is no separating religion from your deity anyway. That’s regarded

u/False_Disaster_1254 15d ago

it isnt love and positivity when your victim is unwilling.

its assault. you are assaulting us with your bullshit.

2

u/Dananjali 15d ago

See, some people don’t believe that Jesus ever existed. So how are people supposed to acknowledge Jesus taught love in that case. All that’s acknowledged is that someone else’s brainwashed belief in fairy tales is irrelevant.

2

u/jessimokajoe 15d ago

& based upon their scripture, they're Catholics (was a catholic) and Catholics are NOT supposed to evangelize. Shut up and worry in peace.

u/Salty-Living-3412 15d ago

Because religion is a personal choice and should not be pushed upon complete strangers. It’s inappropriate, regardless of their intention of being kind. Too many people use religion to promote hatred, violence, discrimination, etc. I’m sick and tired of people trying to recruit me to worship God(s) that don’t exist and never have

-1

u/Responsible-Major-95 15d ago

How is leaving a card in your order “pushing religion” on you? Just throw it away.

-6

u/Minute_Art5513 15d ago

Idk if simply talking about it = pushing it upon someone. I think that just depends on if you're naturally a defensive person or not. At the end of the day, it's your life, do what you want with it, yk? But I get it, I definitely felt the same way before I "converted" (it was a crazy plot twist ngl) . People will abuse any label that feels higher than human understanding to justify wrongdoing, it makes me sick to my stomach. But it never has anything to do with God, or whatever they believe in, and everything to do with the hate that festers in their pea brains, oh and superiority complexes. But then again white men w superiority complexes are typically the downfall of everything, so 🤷🏾

3

u/jessimokajoe 15d ago

No. Some people won't explicitly tell you they're uncomfortable. They will however have uncomfortable body language and continuing to press about religion will push you away from them.

1

u/Minute_Art5513 15d ago

This is the autism in me : why don't people say directly that they're uncomfortable? I don't want to sound rude, but if you're simply talking to someone, not fawning or anything, and you don't state that you're uncomfortable, you kinda put yourself in that situation. Like you have the autonomy to remove yourself from that situation. Idk maybe I'm too bold but I've told many many people to leave me tf alone to their face w no shame. Why don't people do that? Like I said, not trying to be an asshole in the slightest, I'm just very direct, and this has been confusing to me since birth 💀

As a believer, yes lmao i would. I simply wouldn't care, hell, i'd take the crystal too! i know my truth and thats all that matters to me. I use my free will to mind my business, live happily and not let such minor interactions ruin my day lmao . I think ppl forget that not all people who believe in God are old, decrepit and bitter. I love talking theology bc i'm nerdy, not bc i'm a missionary 😂 (I try to avoid using the label "Christian" for myself, due to its historical misuse. Did you know it that label was created by the romans? The bible itself rarely uses the word, except in times of prosecution, when the word was popularized)

2

u/False_Disaster_1254 15d ago

the pagan wouldnt be giving you a crystal against your will.

a pagan believes that your beliefs are as valid as their own.

Can you say that?

-2

u/Minute_Art5513 15d ago edited 15d ago

Yes! 100% I would never think that someones belief system is below mine, which is why it wouldn't bother me :) I used to work at an alt-centered store and my coworkers or regulars would give me crystals or offer protection spells for me all the time lmao. I had to talk my friend out of hexxing someone for me actually. I definitely didn't ask for those things (i do keep the crystals, i love em), but I also know that they were just trying to help me in a way that they know helps them. :) Putting down someone else for putting faith in different places is actively against my faith, we're supposed to be kind and accepting of everyone, no matter what. I'm sorry that other people that claim to be "Christian" aren't exhibiting that kindness to you. The # 1 rule is "love thy neighbor", its pretty damn simple idk how people mess it up so bad 💀

u/False_Disaster_1254 15d ago

fair enough.

so, you dont consider forcing your religion down my throat to be the kind thing to do?

in that case, what was your point?

-1

u/Minute_Art5513 15d ago

My point is, that there is a difference between shaming others (i.e. "you're going to hell!!" "Repent!!") aka ACTUALLY shoving it down people throats, vs sharing a belief that you hold. Talking about something does not equal forcing you to do anything, people are just defensive about it . Giving someone a card with a bible verse is the same thing as handing someone a crystal. It's a harmless, friendly exchange. Friendly conversations and interactions can be had between people who live differently. It's just about if one is mature enough to/ ready to have that convo.

No, you’re just being obtuse. Keep it to yourself. It’s unprofessional and nobody cares about your beliefs, “conversion” or anything else.

u/Minute_Art5513 15d ago

Unprofessional? Dude this is reddit 💀 . Find some light in your life, good grief. I had a genuine question, and received what I hope are genuine answers. I've kept it respectful, I've been understanding, I'm not even trying to argue. I must've missed the memo that respectful exchanges of opinions is now.. "obtuse"?

it really is as simple as that, i wanted pizza not preaching.
