"A humorous story: In the dorms, there was this girl on our floor who did weekly Bible studies and was always trying to get everyone to come for them. Once she tricked my Jewish roommate into coming because she told her that they were going to "get Chinese food and talk" -- she just forgot to add the part about how all the talking was going to be about the Bible."

That happened to me!!!!! This girl on my floor came over and invited me and my suitemate to a "chocolate fondue party!" to get to know us better. Sooo.. we came over and talked to her and some other people we didnt know.. and then 10 minutes later she goes: "are we ready to start?" and takes out her notebook and a bible. I was like..

Well, turns out she was having a bible study! AND SHE DID NOT TELL US AAAAT ALL! (and yes, I'm Jewish). I guess she could tell I was uncomfortable and she said if I really wanted I didn't HAVE to stay. So I left. Quickly. My Catholic suitemate left about 5 minutes after me. VERY AWKWARD!!!!!!

I've also had a good friend of mine tell me with a straight face that I was going to go to hell unless I accepted Jesus as my savior.

I used to be very tolerant of all religions but I've gotten sick of "some religions" trying to impose their beliefs on others through legislation and evangelism. I believe in the separation of church and state and I believe that I should be free to practice whatever religion I choose without people telling me I'm going to hell.
