I agree, they could keep it personal but sometimes they cant hide the visual aspect of it. Dont know why you bring up all these gay examples to me though
I'm not trying to referance you as gay or anything; I don't have a problem with gays either- I'm just saying that someone could be offended.

My point is...what makes you think that people WANT you telling them your beliefs and that they should believe them? Most don't. I do not go around telling people that they should not believe in god, so what gives YOU the right to tell anyone that they should?
Yeah, believe it or not, we would prefer conversations were people would stop insinuating that we are trying to preach to them. A real conversation, is both sides maturally expressing their beliefs to the topic in a calm and ordily fashion. We are living up to our side of the agreement, now live up to yours.

I don't go off yelling my religious views in public. I engage the person quietly and have a serious discussion--with the person's permission. I approach the situation not as telling people they should be lieve in God but talking about God and religion.
That's fine, I haven't got a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is the people who refuse to stop when they're asked to.
Lots of people are like that. Not all, I understand, but I've had more experiences with those who won't quit than those who will when asked.
There's someone on this board who I told to stop PMing me about this yet he continues to do so, and is very close to getting reported for harrassing me. I won't name names, though.

you roll your eyes at the question: which clearly indicates that you yourself are the kind of person who wouldn't stop when asked. When you answer a question no one asked, then you are fighting a battle that others are laughing at you for fighting. As soon as the guy i was trying to persuade said: "stop, do you even realize I'm not listening?" I would stop. Jesus is irrelavent.
Like wholike someone who uses the pm system to preach and doesnt take no as an answere. Ignore option is not an option, if they cant accept a no then they really got a problem, if "I am not interested" aint a clear enough reply for them to back down well then I would say one has to question the intelligence on the person at hand

You can give jokes, but can you tell when they are given? (the rolling eyes smilie is known as "sarcastic". I was being "sarcastic" when I said that. If you ever ask me to stop, than I'll stop talking to you.)

When you say something like "like who" and follow it by an eyerolling smilie, implying sarcasm, it makes it sound like you're being sarcastic in asking who does that and implying that no one does that. Which is blatantly untrue.

Than they wouldn't really be open minded now would they? Or polite and in fact very bad at trying to have a conversation. <shakes head> Pity too.

You know I realised something that I would find Ironic. Everytime you and I speak to each other, it's always in quite the opposition. I was merely making a joke, and here you are biting my head off. If it makes you feel better, I take back the comment.

It can be hard to get jokes across over the internet, I apologize (though I wasn't biting your head off, I was merely pointing out how your post came across). And of COURSE nearly everything we ever say to each other in here will be in opposition, we have completely opposite views and beliefs.

Who isn't open minded? The person who is being harassed, or the person who has been asked to stop but won't?

I was talking about in general. And no, the harraser.
