I don't understand why but I get really upset whenever people try to convert me. I've had someone on the streets with some pamphlet trying to talk to be before I told him to, literally, "fuck off." That's how much it offends me but I can't tell you why. In retrospect, I wish I didn't fly off the handle so. He didn't really deserve it.
But there's no denying that there's something about the practice that totally offends me. I understand that this is merely for the survival of their religion. If the religion didn't work so hard to procreate (convert others) and defend itself (you'll go to hell if you don't!) then, like evolution, the religion wouldn't still be around to bother us with it's attempts to procreate and defend itself...
