Today, I made the mistake of sneezing in front of a hyper religious customer, who for ten minutes blamed the incident of shifting weather patterns that signaled the return of Jesus, who was as she explained, upset about the abortion rates in America and President Obama. FML

Haha I love hyper religious customers. When one found out I was pregnant she literally reached across the desk, grabbed my head, and said "GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BABY!" really loud. I couldn't stop laughing after she left.

"He also supports a plethora of liberal agendas that go against christian morals (theory of evolution, etc)." Plenty of Christians believe in evolution. The Pope just released a statement a few weeks ago to reiterate the Church's belief in it. Liberal agenda? There isn't a liberal agenda. "liberals" come in all shapes and sizes with a variety of different opinions. Yes, they will lean towards certain sides of an argument but there is still much disagreement among them. And Obama isn't the most liberal...in fact he is angering quite a few liberals. For example: http://www.eff.org/press/archives/2009/04/05 "Obama Embraces Bush Position on Warrantless Wiretapping and Secrecy"

I feel your pain, at my job as a cashier around Christmas this lady said "people don't understand what Christmas really is" and thinking she was talking about how everyone is so wrapped up in buying the perfect gifts for their children and family members I said "yeah I know". She then started talking about how she's a Jehovah's Witness and asked me if I was, too. I was clear to tell her I don't follow any religion and then she began trying to convert me to a Jehovah's Witness and giving me all these facts about how Christmas is a BS holiday and why Jehovah's Witnesses were better and I would like to be one of them. I was stuck with listening to her for about 20 minutes before I got extremely busy and she left. FML.

this is why i've always found religion scary. people trying to force it down other's throats and causing conflict with everyone who is not of the same belief. :/

$10 says this FML was entirely fabricated as an outlet for the creator to bitch about Christians and anyone who doesn't worship the ground Obama walks on.

I read a few of the posts, and I have a few things to say. I dont have the comment numbers, forgive me. A few people said that its not okay that religious people shove their beliefs down others throats, which I agree with. For the record I'm a catholic but I have the intelligence to know that most people just dont want to hear it, BUT, a few posts also contained something about liberal politics. For all of those who havent made the connection, force feeding your beliefs down other people's throats goes both ways. I go to a prep school in a VERY blue state and pretty much every day last fall I was told I was "wrong" because I'm a conservative and didnt support Obama. I didnt go around telling people to support McCain because a) I would be ridiculed, but more importantly b) I knew they didnt want to hear it. Moral of the story: Dont go around shoving your political beliefs down peoples throats for the same reason you dont want people shoving religious beliefs down yours (this goes both ways, btw. For those liberals that understand this, I thank you more than you will ever imagine. I'd hope you thank conservatives that understand this as well). Some people also said they dont understand why religious people dont like abortion. Growing up in the catholic faith has taught me that life begins at fertilization, and that abortion is killing that unborn baby. The Christian faith is based on the ten commandments, one of them being "thou shalt not kill". Most Christians (in no way am I saying all of us do) believe that, and therefore abortion is murder. Second, well this is more of a moral lesson than a religious one, having a baby is a big responsibility, and I'm not entirely sure if everyone in the faith was taught this but it is widely believed that you should take responsibility for your actions. If you choose to have unprotected sex and do get pregnant, it isnt a good lesson to be taught that you can go and get rid of your child just like that. Its not taking responsibility. As I said above believe what you want, and I am aware this is biased but I hadnt seen a good response saying the other side of the issue. OP: Having people shove their beliefs down your throat can be very annoying, so yes, FYL.

I have to admit, I would have started giggling halfway through her rant and then just turned away. That totally reminds me of my crazy, now deceased great-grandma who was heavy into religion. Some people can be complete nut-jobs.

OK, I'd just like to clear some things up about pro-life people. We are NOT all religious. I am going to make a completely non-religious argument for pro-life. The Constitution says we can have the right to our own life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness AS LONG AS we do not infringe upon the rights (life, liberty...)of others. That's why we can't kill someone for our "pursuit of happiness"; it infringes upon their right to life. Abortion ends the "life" of a fetus. The reason I am pro-life is that I believe that life is created when the fetus is, so therefore, the fetus should be given all the rights the Constitution grants. Abortion would infringe that right, and therefore be unconstitutional. It all rests on where you believe life (and the rights granted by the Constitution) begin. If you think a fetus isn't under law's jurisdiction, why is there a double murder charge when someone murders a pregnant woman?
