The don't F*ck with me vibe

[Eponymic]

I notice a lot of times that my Christian friends & acquaintances won't even think about bringing up religion in my presence. They will do it around some of my other non-Christian friends, but around me they hold off. If I do get in a conversation with them its because they've gotten into one with one of my friends, I over hear it then casually work my way into it.

 

I get the general feeling that I've got such a palpable energy around me that says to them, "Don't fuck with my el Christo, I'll tear you're religion two new assholes & a vagina without even blinking."

 

What about y'all?

[Amethyst]

I must have a vibe that says "annoy the living heck out of me by debating with me until you have exhausted every single circular argument there is."

 

[Dhampir]

When I was living at home, the mere suspicion that I might not follow their religion anymore was enough to elicit constant harassment. Now that I moved out, I am just itching to get called out about it, but no one wants to. Either they just don't want disharmony, or they want to believe I might still be one of them, and learning just how not I am will scare them even more.

My aunt does not have any defense of her belief aside from faith. She acts like we never talked about it before and sometimes when she gets a wild hair up her nose makes me go to church with her. I make it a point to make fun of the bible so she won't make me go again. She seems to have a very bad memory.

 

My family and relatives are mostly idiots. They are headless chickens that go on and on as if I should believe in what they are saying without a word. To be fair though, my aunt is the least controling of the lot, even though she is a headless chicken as well sometimes. I am an apostate and they are all in denial of that fact. How can I get the point across that I hate thier culture and mytholgy, and make it stick? I enjoy diversity and WILL NOT apologize for the friends I keep. I will never respect superstition.

 

I wish they were afraid to talk religion around me, because when they push me too far I tell them everything I think about the bible. Then they use thier "authority" over me.

[Amethyst]

I do my best to avoid discussing religion at all with my family, except for my parents, who I know will not go off the deep end. They have friends who are Unitarian and New Agers.

My girlfriend is kind of like a new ager. She has no holybook though. She likes Crystals and candles and prays to her deceased relatives and god.

 

I don't make fun of her very often. She insists that I be respectful of other peoples faiths. I can't do that with a few religions.

Bwahahahaha!!! With a handle like "Mr. Grinch", what do YOU think?

 

Not only don't people bring up religion to me, most humans with a pulse avoid me like the plague. The phrase, "If looks could kill" was crafted specifically for me. I call it "the death stare". A little trick I developed in High School to frighten all the bullies into believing I was psychotic so I wouldn't have to fight. Worked like a charm.

 

The unfortunate side effect has been that I haven't quite learned how to turn it off. Now, without even intending to, I emit a palpable aura of..."evil"? Maybe too strong of a term, but I have no trouble walking untouched through crowds. People part like the Red Sea before me.

 

Added to "the death stare" is my no-nonsense and blunt communication skills. Angering me and being on the receiving end of my rave-outs, has been likened to running face-first into a running buzz-saw! Nobody crosses me more than once, I can assure you. It's not that I'm tough. I just don't give a damn about fall-out.

 

Oh well. Works to my benefit. Even family members are held at bay from directly confronting me. E-mails only do I get. And not too damn many of them.

 

I love it. 'Tis a small price to pay if it keeps nimrods from pestering me.

LOL~ I like that.....a good way to avoid fights, you're totally right.

[Panther]

I have noticed this too....when I go around christians, they AVOID it.....

 

People know that I am "logical"....maybe they're afraid of what they might hear??

 

[Asimov]

Personally, I like the "come fuck me" vibe better.

Cool, do you have the cool head snap to go with it like in "The New Guy."

[BlueGiant]

I just have a more general, "don't fuck with me" vibe. Nothing like having the height, weight and a look that can end a fight without a punch being thrown. Works out better that way most times.

 

Of course, religious debates are even better, as then people are so unassuming that this big hulk actually thinks. Usually comes to them as quite a shock.

I usually don't bring up anything in coversation with my wife who is a Christian unless she brings it up first and that is when I take that as an open door to say something that might plant those seeds of doubt in her mind.

[Christopher Carrion]

I must admit I have this nasty habit of trying to engage Christians in debate over their faith just so i can blow big massive holes in it. Sadistic? Not really; I have no qualms in pointing out the plotholes in other forms of fiction either.

[dead_hobbit]

I think I have a "fuck with me vibe"

 

but not the good kind

I fully support you in this...because I am a bastard too.

[Ms. K]

Who, me?

 

Apparently, I have a vibe going out that says, "Hey Christians! I'm Not A Believer! Come Argue With Me!"

 

I hate it. I really do. They've all got radar, and they're all finding ME lately.

 

Tonight was the fifth time I've been asked if I've been "saved" while at the gas station. WTF, I look like I want to have a fucking discussion while I'm pumping gas and washing my windshield?

 

This time, I simply said, "No, I'm not saved. I don't believe. And you are not going to be able to change my mind, so why don't you save your breath on some other mark, preferably one who isn't going to tell you what you could go do with yourself."

 

That got me the response of, "Ohhh, you need Jesus to save your soul, or you're gonna go to HELL!" Said with absolute fucking GLEE, mind you.

 

That got the Xian asshole the response of, "According to your Holy Book, I'm beyond saving as an apostate anyway. Don't any of you whackjobs ever read your own fucking book? Isn't that required reading in your cult? And did you not hear me when I told you to leave me alone, you're not going to be able to change my mind? Let me repeat this slowly so you understand me: Go. Away. Now. Before. I. Start. Blowing. Massive. Holes. In. Your. Religious. Delusions."

 

That got me peace...that and getting back in the car, and pulling away as the guy tried to LEAN IN MY WINDOW AND TALK TO ME.....I told him to get out of my car or I'd take him with me, and when I started off, he finally backed away.

 

I need to re-develop that "do NOT fuck with me" vibe. I used to have it, I don't know what the hell happened to it.

Wow! What fucking nerve! You did better than I would have, Ms. K. If that shit had happened to me, I'd be writting this from a prison computer right now.

 

What a fucking weirdo! Don't people know what kind of climate we live in today? You just don't accost strangers like this. You can easily be mistaken for a kidnapper or rapist, and be shot, maced or stabbed for getting too close.

 

Whew! I'm glad you're OK, Ms. K. But next time, use pepper spray on the asshole, and scream RAPE! Perhaps some time in the county jail will cure these people of "street witnessing".

 

Probably not, though. They'll view it as "persecution", not the consequences of being stupid.

Well, naturally they'll view it as "persecution by the unbeliever". What else would happen?

 

I'd happily carry pepper spray, but out here, you have to have a freakin' permit to carry it. No kidding.

 

Oh, and probably the willingness to drive over his feet came from the fact that I was already fairly pissed off anyway, having been yelled at by some drunk guy about what I could do to "service" him, and I got tired of it and calmly told this brainchild, "Look boy, I'm not in the mood to listen to your shit. You need to STFU. If you don't, and you keep talking, I'm going to come over there, rip out your eyes, and skullfuck you." That one shut up, got back in the truck with his idiot buddies, and they drove away VERY fast.

 

The fundy didn't stand a chance after that. He should be glad I was at least polite to him starting off...I told him if he kept leaning in my window I'd either drive over his feet or take him with me to the nearest police station. He didn't like that, especially when I actually started off with him in the window. Fundy Dude called me a fucking bitch at that point....to which I yelled back, "Nice language, did you learn that in Sunday school?"

 

The past couple months have been hard. They've come out of the woodwork to fuck with me, and I'm not having it.

[brick]

I am of a divided vibe; you see the people who know me well and know my history (7 years Karate, 6 years army infantry rifleman, Irish-French bloodlines) are pretty careful about stepping on my generally good-humoured toes (because they know I'll go off in a BAD way if they seriously misstep and my bark doesn't even compair to my bite!) and then there are those who think that because I'm generally a good-humoured, joking guy, I have no bite and there is no malice beneath the surface....oh boy, are they wrong!

So I guess the important people 'get' my "don't f**k with me " vibe and the others, well they just better watch their steps....

[Amethyst]

What about garlic spray? I've seen this in pet stores for putting on reptiles food. Got some one time. It makes the worms so sticky that they can't move and the gecko won't eat them, but for self-defense, I'm sure it'd work if you sprayed it in someone's eyes. And you probably don't need a license to carry a bottle of it in your glove compartment.

My god, what have the stupid socialists done to your community? Where do you live?

[Ms. K]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

One word, and that will explain it all.

 

California.

 

'Nuff said.

[Ms. K]

Amethyst, I might just try that.

 

Now, if I could get something like Windex in a pepper spray dispenser...well, I know what happens when you get Windex in your eyes, it burns like a son of a bitch!

[LloydDobler]

My first post-deconversion conversation with my oldest christian friend (who was quite open minded and really understanding) simply put it 'you seem to be really hostile toward religion'.

 

I was like 'yeah I guess I am.' We don't talk much about it but we've still had some good conversations and he's really been good to me. Makes me glad compared to my near fundie sister and brother in law who don't speak to me anymore.
