One should not impose their religious beliefs on others. Period. Of 
course this goes well beyond that ...

It is OK for you to tell me you believe in the majesty of the great and 
powerful flying spaghetti monster. But it ends there. I do not want to 
be told that I will boil in a vat of hot marinara sauce because I do not 
believe the same, nor should you insist on attempting to recruit me to 
your particular brand of religion. If I show an interest and ask 
questions, answer those questions. But if I say, "That's nice" and begin 
to walk off, this is not a cue for you to start shoving pamphlets at me 
to go on lecturing me about the grace of His noodley appendage. I'm not 
interested and I'm not listening.

Quite honestly, I believe it is rude for someone to go advertising their 
religion as if it were a product.

What you described is exceptionally, unacceptable and intrusive. What 
people decide to do with their own body is their decision and their 
decision alone.

Anyway... I'll go back to my usually nerdy self playing with numbers, 
and computers and the like.
