To YL: If you feel this topic is too, well, controversial, feel free to erase it, lol
And nope, this topic isn't about religion bashing or praising, but rather that some of their followers can be annoying, that's all, lol.
Well you might say that I'm like 0.5% religious, like I believe there is an unnatural force out of there, but I don't particularly follow anything or a particular religion. I am also good with whatever religion people follow, unless they try to shove it to your face.
Right now, there is a second degree grandma from the US who's visiting us, and, yes, she is a hardcore Christianity follower. Just earlier, she and my first degree grand-ma (I recall they are sisters) got into some kind of argument about creationism and the like, but my first grand-ma is a hardcore Buddhist, and the argument continued (though they weren't fighting or anything, but yeah).
Then my second grand-ma turned to me and I was thinking: "oh no, please don't ask me about creationism, pleasepleaseplease...". But of course, she asked me: "Where do you think humans come from?" I was too lazy to answer and just said: "Dunno.". And then she was: "You believe humans come from monkeys, right?". I replied: "Well, yup."
She seemed to feel like insulted and stuff and was kind of laughing. I told her: "Well, you believe what you want, and I believe what I want."
But that's not the only thing. Whenever some family from the US come to visit us, they will always try to shove their religion to us. Well, not all of them do that, but I'd say half of them do. Just last year, when my sister got her new son, one gift from them was a bible for kids. I mean, what. And once, some second degree uncle came, and I was the one who brought him back to the airport, and guess what the whole trip discussion from home-to-airport was about? God, and Jesus. And at the end, he gave me a Bible.
We already respect the fact they are hardcore religious people, why can't they just accept the fact that we'll always have our own religion (or nothing at all)? No one of us ever tried to shove Buddhism on them and I never tried to shove Science on them, so why do they keep trying?
That was my rant of the day, lol.
