Question Posted Wednesday November 19 2008, 2:10 pm
this girl at my school wont stop preaching to me about God. "God loves you, he loves you do much, he has a purpose for you, blahblahblah" and yeah. ive told her this before: I KNOW ALL OF THAT!! i go to church, i hear this every week. iknowiknowiknowiknow. but she just wont shut up and leave me alone. what do i say to her? is it bad for a christian to not want to talk about God because its getting on my last nerve??
Next Time she starts preaching about say, "Hey, i respect your love towards god, but stop please", like that. Try a sentle-mentle agreement with her, and if that doesn't work. Sorry, i'm stumped [ ryang580's advice column | Ask ryang580 A Question ]

There's a chance she may have grown up around fundamentalists or those fanatical about religion who think they must make everyone follow them. If she continues to make these views known and harass you into following them tell your teacher and principal privately to tell her this isn't the proper time or place to share them.
She probably has that mentality and her church or parents have told her to be in people's face about God and saving others. Once the school teaches her that she must curb it all should be well.
She could also be a bit off it and be obsessed with this one thing to the point nobody could tell her anything. I've had this happen o me in the past with someone who wouldn't stop with their views. So, I left a Christian Science Journal on my desk to show I was Christian but not open to constant or any discussion. That's all it took as it gained her respect.

If she begins preaching to you, tell her kindly but sternly "Look, I know you're just trying to do you're job by spreading the religion, but maybe you should start preaching to people who DON'T believe in God, because I already do". That should shut her up :) If not, a restraining order is always helpful ha ha goodluck! Hope I helped!
