That's the point. It's supposed to make them uncomfortable. They need to live and let live like everyone else. If they just don't get it because they're too stupid then so be it, that's an acceptable outcome.
And again, I undestand exactly what you were trying to do. You said "Not every chriustian does that [example about yourself]." I'm telling you it doesn't matter. This is a person who gets hung up on the One True Correct Way to do very vague, metaphysical things and then tries to intimidate others into doing it the same way. I seriously doubt they're going to adopt an eccentric, minority position. People with that attitude thrive on doing as the Romans do and intimidating people with the independence to do it their own way.
If you want to call that an overgeneralization, then so be it. If you were referring to the fact that I dont think most religious rituals make that much sense, then that's just a difference in opinion. Either way, it dosen't really matter. You've been missing the point the whole time. Your entire reason for posting was because you got your panties in a bunch over the fact that I mentioned that Christian holidays coincide with some pagan holidays, which is undeniable fact and it doesn't matter whether every single Christian celebrates those days, for people like the ones mentioned in the OP, it's likely true very, very often. I was simply suggesting that we use the OP's harasser's method of imposing a strict interpretation on others against them to prove a point.
Im not trying to say that Christians are stupid for celebrating Christmas on the winter Solstice or decorating eggs. You're not celebrating the winter solstice, you're celebrating Jesus. The difference is obvious.

My first response to your post was simply kidding that you couldn't assume that the OP's religious fanatic celebrated Easter simply because they were Christian. Nothing more. If my panties were in a bunch I'd have said where I disagreed, called you an idiot, blah, blah, no you. I pretty much said I agreed with everything you said, but just clarified my stance on it and you took it as "you don't get it, stfu post?" 
As to the highlighted text, more assumptions, I decided not to respond to that as I so no need to in context to the thread but simply forgot to un-bold it.

On my way back from school today, I took the bus like always. And, like always, comes in a guy to preach about the lord with a can labeled with a bullshit charity. I don't mind them much, what's a spare quarter anyways? Some don't speak much. Others are downright alarmingly ignorant (one thought Shakira has a pact with the devil, because in a music video a cobra comes out of the background. He also happened to be selling Bultron DVD's, which is basically violent Panamanian rap).
So, he walks in, thanks the bus driver, and faces the passengers. He asks (I'm translating, so maybe not the exact wording), ''How many of you have thanked the Lord this morning?''. Three people raised their hands. I turn to stare at him (I was in the front row) and I see his face is reddening by the second. He booms, '' YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS. YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS. YOU ALL DESERVE TO BE ABANDONED BY JESUS, MY SAVIOUR.'' I chuckle a little, and turn away to face the window. ''HE, WHO GAVE HIS LIFE SO YOU CAN LIVE, LOVE, CARE AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HIM?''.
The preacher seems to get a hold of himself, and starts reciting passages of the bible. He looks up from the book a couple of minutes later and sees a couple people chattering, a few others sleeping and one is on her cellphone. I saw his face and knew what was coming. ''GO ON. KEEP ON SLEEPING. KEEP ON TALKING. WHEN JESUS COMES YOU BETTER HOPE NOT TO BE ASLEEP YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS!''. I bit my arm; it was all I could do to keep myself from giggling. The preacher wiped his sweaty face on the sleeve of his blazer. ''Boy, it's a hot day. Imagine what it feels like when you're BURNING IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL''. ''Well, let me tell you a bit more about my charity'', he goes on, ''we feed over 150 people.... Blargh.'' He ends up talking to a group of old women in the back of the bus, and all I could hear was ''Amen sister. Amen.''
Gawd, I wish the bus driver would just push those religious fanatics out of the fucking bus and let us be.

I was told in fifth grade that I was going to hell because I didn't go to church. That was when people really mentioned their god to me in school. They explained their version of heaven and hell to me, and all I got out of it was "You have to be a good person to get to heaven. Bad people go to hell"
I pretty much feel the same way, if there are such places. Doesn't matter if you're a Satanist, or a Christian, or a Buddhist or a Shintoist.....if you're a genuinely good person, you'll go to heaven.
Oh and just like Bathory (thank you for the word by the way) I'm a secular humanist. I still celebrate Christmas and Easter and whatnot, but it was always about family when I was growing up. It was never about material things, but always about the look on everyone else's faces when they opened up the present you picked out.

Personally, I don't think I was ever meant for Christianity. I've never been one to shove my religious opinions down others' throats, like so many religions I've come across in my days. I can't count the number of times I've had the door knocked on, fliers handed out, accusations and pleas thrown at me... It's just not a pretty thing.
...And that's why I'm beginning study in Wicca. I don't talk about it much IRL because I've got a few highly Christian friends who would probably fear for my soul and such. Lol. :flamed:

The fundamental beliefs of Wicca are not far from those of Christianity. The majority of Wiccan celebrations coincide within a day of Christian/Catholic celebrations. This is because Christianity stemmed from Judaism and made its way North, ultimately becoming infused with 'pagan' practices in the Northlands. This may also be the time when the theorized two separate species of mankind became one as modern man, however that could also have happened much earlier. In any case, multiple celebrations in Wiccan, Druid, Muslim, Jewish, and Catholic/Christian holidays and prayers occur at the same time and majorly with the same ultimate desires. For the most part. Anyways.

Neither do most Christians.
I'm sorry, but if one salesperson knocks on your door, does that mean that all salespersons are door to door salespeople?
Getting a bit fucking tired of the judgmental generalizations, personally.
