So I'm in my grand mothers and her friend and priest are visiting
I'm asked by my grand mothers friend (who can only be described as a bag of bones and shit reanimated)
to come and pray, so me being opposed to organised religion (I like my religions spontaneous)
politely replied no thank you I'm agnostic (I think that's it)
she instantly flew into a what can only be described as a demonic possession hurling abuse and slurs
the priest calmed her down after a minute of this and later apologized to me for her behavior.
I live in Ireland and even though this is/was a very religious (catholic) country I am shocked
an am literally pissing rage at how narrow minded some people still are.

If anyone else has any other stories like this please don't hesitate to input.

tl:dr an old woman raped me verbally.

I suggest you calm down and stop making yourself look like an ass in social settings. Also nothing is more spontaneous then an unplanned prayer session.

I'm not going to judge your choice of lifestyle. Of course this could explain your burning pee.

YEAH! Next time, get on your knees and talk to an imaginary being to satisfy a delusional old woman, you ungrateful asshole. Her generation fought for your right to sit down, shut up and do exactly as you're told! Ingrate.

[EDIT]
Actually, no, I'm forgetting you're in Ireland and she's Catholic. Her generation probably did fight for your right to sit down, shut up and do as you're told, though with the Pope as dictator. Ingrate.

Please find your logical fallacy here He became enraged since an old lady asked him to prey, instead of saying no thank you he has to tack on his own religious identity to it, then after she gets mad he posts on the internet like this event actually matters. In short cool story bro or you know you could have just humored the old bag of shit.

I mad bro I mad. also it probably would have had a similar out come had I just declined anyway.
[Edit] also I and the majority of people in Ireland are used to a great degree of religious freedom so
having someone spit acid at you for your beliefs (or lack there of) is very surprising hence why I had
no problem stating why I did not wish to pray.

Or you know, you could have just humored her and realize other people exist. But way to stick it to the man by upsetting an old lady and posting it online. Also there is no reason to assume your story is 100% accurate. Oh and also you should get bonus points for comparing this slight to you as rape. You are aware what rape is right?

Nice deflection there, easy way to avoid a direct challenge instead of actually you know answering. Have you considered a career with the church?

If a swanky old religious lady didn't get to break him face-to-face, you definitely won't. Just give up.

Wikipedia philosopher to the rescue! I read the story, it looks like he became enraged after the elderly woman unloaded on him. Religious intolerance is worthy of rage. Posting on the internet doesn't matter, but it might make him feel better.

Politely declining to engage in a religious practice is not antisocial behaviour and is definitely preferable to betraying his beliefs to pander to his grandmother's friend (not even his grandmother, nor the priest).

What intolerance he pissed off an old lady by refusing to prey with her. Posts online and compares it to rape then gets upset that he is called on such trivial matter. Not much philosophy here just steaming pile of filth and I am enjoying wallowing in it. Oink Also dude you have something on your nose.

That's odd, i've met enough people like that. They made me want to put on my Carmageddon helmet and scream "JUST LIKE IN THE BIBLE!!!" (when you dont have Carmageddon installed, just yell You Ain't Got No Pankake Mix! )

there's usually a "preacher" at the end of one of the shopping streets in Dublin. And one afternoon
some guy got tired of the old testament shit and did a spoken word version of the fresh prince opening music
gathered a bigger crowd then the "preacher"

You did what you thought it was right, but you probably hurt your Grandmother's feelings.

Sometimes when dealing with relatives, it's just better to be polite and follow with the tradition instead of telling everyone to go screw themselves because you don't think like them. Just think about grandma'.

There are still a LOT of intolerant people like that unfortunately. It's sad because it's 2012 and people still believe in weird story books.

You missed the part where he is agnostic so he might believe in weird story books.

Nope I just think that something some where got the ball rolling and it neither knows nor cares for our existence
and is not worthy of worship as all religion eventually does is breed hate.

So you're a diest, not agnostic. ;)

Also, I'm 100% against these discussions on forums, because, well... because of folks like your granny's friend.
