Religious friends keep sending me religious text?

I’ve noticed every time she send me a text message, she can’t say anything without mentioning her Christian religion or needing to remind me how Jesus loves me. She knows I don’t believe in Jesus Christ and she still sends messages like that. What should I do? I’ve mostly been ignoring her text messages cause I don’t want her to think she’s getting the best of me, but telling me something like that is like saying Edward Cullens love you. I’m convinced these are all acts of attempted manipulation, but I could be wrong. Tell me what you guys think. Leave your thoughts below.

Tell her you had a vision of Jesus in your sleep and he said that you were doing great, but that he doesn't appreciate other people putting words in his mouth. Oh, and he also said to lay off the bacon or else.

I would just keep ignoring it all.

Just make the following quote:

So is she really a friend if she does this all the time when she knows it is not your belief system? If she is a good friend or part of a group of friends, I would confront her and tell her that she is crossing a line. If she doesn't stop, block her. Frankly I doubt that I would call her a friend because she is not respectful

This one scream all over the place that you need new friends....

Hmmm this sounds like this could be a tough one , your friend sounds lime the type that breathes,drinks,and eats her religion, in other words just can't stop mentioning it!, one thing you can Is to ask or say look im well aware your religious but honestly it isnt necessary to say Jesus loves me in your texts to me, i mean its like your deliberately doing it to annoy or put me down. Just try and say it in a way where it isnt offensive and it turns into a mountain

I’ll start sending scriptures where Jesus talked about hating family members in order to be his disciple.

@EmeraldJewel very good idea

Send them devilish texts until they get the message.

Lol I love this community!

Yes she is being manipulative. I would end my texts with something cryptic like "Freud forgives you" just to confuse her (but that's my sense of humour ?)

find new friends.

I am. She’s been picked off.

Respond with witty texts like "Man is the measure in all things." Protagoras;
"I will not be pushed, filed, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own." Patrick McGoohan;
"Even traveling at the speed of light, an ascending Jesus would still be in this galaxy." Joseph Campbell.

Send her many atheists forwards....

The entire universe is based on vibrational frequency. I believe any type of mental concentration is sending out vibrations some call it meditation, some prayer some call it king about you. All are positive and good. If someone tells me they are praying for me I always say thank you as I truly believe good vibrations are always positive.

I would probably be a little blunt:-

"So Jesus loves me, does he?

"Bit difficult that, due to him not existing except in the minds of delusional christians. So Jesus loves me precicely as much as you are, yourself, loved by the equally non-existent giant, emerald-green fairy at the bottom of my garden.

"Do you really want to exchange fairy tales?"

I normally ignore those particularly to religion and appreciate those devoid of religion example motivational messages. Something that can make one thinks. When it happens so, they become happy for applauding them on that. Now, they don't send me religious messages anymore but inspirational messages, Love messages etc. I think they have realized it by themselves that my taste for religion is lacking in their perspective.

Respond with things like "Edward Cullens love you" or "Satan preserve you" or "Hulk Bless you."

Or even "Batman watches over thee"

Or respond with any blasphemous memes you can find

Lmfao!!!

If someone knows that something is bothering you then they will do it for spite. Don't say anything and it will go away. Go to Pinterest and find some non spiritual posts which you don't have to send to her specifically but post them where she can see them.

I just ignore her for the most part and don’t even go around her cause I refuse to show or allow her to bother me. She obviously needs professional help as long as she has imaginary friends she needs to love her.

Tell them that you have been converted to pornography, and send them some movies.

Start sending her pornography. She'll either leave you alone or convert.

She obviously doesn’t respect you. Is that a real friend? Tell her, don’t ask her, to knock it off. If she doesn’t, say goodbye.

She’s not a friend anymore.

@EmeraldJewel being an atheist can get pretty lonely sometimes especially in the Bible Belt.

@Iffy yes very much so.

I have friends that do this, as well. I usually respond by adding a Bible verse containing some atrocity committed by Yahweh or one of his followers, such as Elisha and the she-bears, or Abraham pimping out his wife to Pharaoh. The Bible is full of stories showing what an asshole the main character can be.

Im convinced the devil was actually the good guy. Hahaha!

@EmeraldJewel according to bible the devil aka snake was the one that told the truth in genius

@Rdurham lol ikr! God’s a rotten liar!

I had an auto body shop guy who is a leader of some yahoo sect. Once he fixed my car, and when I got it back, there were fliers everywhere. In the console, under the seats, between the seats, under the floor mats... I pulled down my visor and got a flier shower. I just laughed, and then burned them. People expect you to respect their beliefs, but they need to respect yours too. If they don't, they're probably not worth it.

Respond with some irritating motivational postings - secular of course
