How to get along better
I am a catholic and I work with a born again christian who is constantly trying to make me feel like her religion is the only way , I’ve already told her that I don’t care to talk about religion with her and everyone is free to believe what they want to, whatever feels good for their soul but she constantly gets her little digs in , quoting the bible, questioning the music I listen to etc., what can I do to or say to stop this? I truly think that she thinks she is a better person than me but I say nothing to keep the peace!
Ask God to intervene…
Tell her you’re not religious and have no interest in her religion or any other, that you don’t believe in hell, and you could care less what the Bible says because you don’t believe in all that ancient nonsense. Tell her you don’t believe that God is anything like the petty tyrant she worships.
lay it all on the line- explain things rather ‘pointedly’ to her, tell her where the line is drawn and not to cross it- and what you are prepared to do about it if she does.
you may have to go to a supervisor if she can not understand this (which may not be a bad idea to begin with) ALLOW your supervisor to draw the line- that may be the best idea and actually achieve results.
I am a lifelong Catholic as well, and YES we believe and trust our souls to Jesus Christ. How many times to Catholics need to tell other Christian faiths this? Catholics pray to Jesus and praise Jesus, and have Jesus in our hearts as our REDEEMER. THAT is what a good Catholic does. That is a Christian faith’s foundation. If you truly believe in the Lord as your savior, you are on the right track. You can tell her, “I appreciate your constant concern for me, but let me assure you that I have Jesus in my heart and I feel very committed to my own faith.” Simple, sincere, and polite. If that doesn’t work, by all means involve the supervisor.
Alright, it seems that you have three options:
#1 - Tell your Supervisor that you feel harassed - that is the magic word. This is the best way, and if she cares about her job, she will stop. Not even Jesus tried to convert the whole world Himself
#2 Have an open discussion - particularly:
Ask her is she feels that Catholics have different beliefs in Christ? Yes or no, point blank
She will probably say that you have to place you trust and salvation in Jesus, which you probably do.
She will probably say you need to nourish your soul with the Bible, which is a good thing…and you can just tell her you do hee hee hee
She will say that you have to pray to Jesus and ask him to come into your heart, and be born again … again, you say you do every night and its called prayer.
She will say that you need to repent for our sins, and of course you do as we have the guilt complex.
Those are the basic teaches of a hardcore Christian. There is no room for debate. IF she goes into private life, just tell her that you don’t discuss that with ANYONE.
Ask her if she is JUDGING YOU - which the Bible states is reserved for the Lord
Tell her little Bible-Thumping self to find it for you.
Finally my favorite:
#3 Just turn around one day and tell her: Obviously you do not understand that I am not interested in a religious conversation. So, if you cannot take a hint, TAKE A HIKE!! And of course you say, God bless you by the way!
MAY BE TRY TO HEAR HER OUT WITH AN OPEN MIND & SEE IF WHAT SHE SAY IS REALLY TRUE WITH THE ‘LIGHT’[BIBLE]. WE ARE SOMETIMES A BIT WRONG IN OUR DECISIONS AND SHOULD LOOK INTO EVERY ADVICE SERIOUSLY…

You have already told her that you don’t appreciate it and her continuing on with that behavior is unacceptable in the work place. If you have to - talk to your supervisor. That is harrassement and you should not have to deal with it.
There can also be born agains in the Catholic church. There are many who are not, even in reformed churches. They say that folks just come to warm up the pews, have sat on the fence for 70 years and haven’t accepted Christ. We have had a couple come forward the middle of last year who are in their early 70’s! Praise God. He still is alive and working miracles, one heart at a time. If you know Christ, there is no way there could be a problem conversing with your coworker. Rejoice that you still can, in this God Blessed USA! If not, forgiveness is needed. A relationship is needed, not any religion. I don’t care if you are Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran, Evangelical, Independent, Assy of God, Baptist, Pentacostal, Episcopal, etc, they just have different worship styles. They aren’t the religion. The relationship is the only life and death thing that matters!
OMG people really? I’m sorry if she is treating you that way. Don’t listen to Bugrigvictor or whatever his name is. if you have faith in your religion, then thats good. I’m a christian, and I apologize for her behavior. not all christians are like that. they shouldn’t judge, and who is to say that catholics aren’t christians too?
