In a nutshell - please tell us why your neighbour hates you please. It would make me happy:D
I was watching a TED talk last night on happiness - and the gist of it was, no matter what you are doing, do that only. Rambling thoughts, no matter if they are good or bad make us unhappy.
I presume this is where you get the really tripe saying 'The precious present' (*insert puke smiley*).... Seems there is something to it though.
I am happy pottering around my house. It doesn't matter what I am doing really.0 -

Also, I'll say you did post this in the wrong thread, on the chance that you're drunk and I'll get a cheap, petty laugh from your confusion.
When I posted the reply first - I was really confused as they are two different conversation goings on in here & the first few posts of the third page had nothing got to do with my answer
Anyway: closing accounts is thataway

I'm slightly drunk and therefore in no condition to close my account.
I'll wait until I've won every argument on the internet, and, by extension, solved all of the world's major problems.0 -

One of my neighbours - about six houses up is a reformed religious type. She is a nazi-Xic - it is shocking how scary it is listening to her. She has had a hard life, so turned to religion. She has an absolute conviction that everything in the bible is true. I don't talk to her. Pass her and that is it - conversations go no further than the weather (but in a really friendly manner).
I find it hard to hide how a-religious I am & it really upsets these people, so it is best if I avoid.
Tell him - you have given up talking about religion for Lent
(could you imagine???) Seriously don't talk about it - because there is no common ground & neither of ye is trying to get anywhere with it. 0 -

Its not that easy. I give a vipassana class. My class has one REAL priest in it. And two kids from the local seminary. And a few guys from the local AA.....
.... all in all this guy has it in his head that there are all sorts of people who should be finding "god" but are finding ME instead.
"not talking about it" is not gonna click with this guy.
He literally sits outside my garden on vipassana night and accosts the priest and would be priests on the way out... quoting them scripture that he thinks precludes them from being there in the first place.
If I give up anything from lent it would be giving up NOT talking to him about it rather than giving up talking to him about it (i almost tried to write "giving up not not not talking to him about it" but i wasnt sure i could write it in a funny way) 0 -

Let the priests' and AA'ers sort that out themselves. Both lots are well used to listening to sh*te and won't take it on board. Both lots of them will be used to the born again 'type' preacher and know exactly what he is. I guarantee they nod, smile, walk on and don't engage.
You do the same. Pass him. Think about ringing the guards, maybe because he is harassing people coming in and out of your home.
If he starts off on the religious tripe any other time, tell him you have to go as... you left the kettle on, immersion on, bath is running, appt with a doctor, expecting a call...... Just excuse yourself nicely and go.0 -

To be honest me and the gfs take it in our stride. It doesn't REALLY bother us. For us it is just a joke and a laugh. Gives me something to write about on BOARDS when my life is otherwise not that interesting. I am a bore!
But I have to admit the fact he rings the college, the local vacectomy (ok i dont know who you ring to complain about a priest so that was the best word I could think of) to complain about the priest that DOES take my class..... it is starting to get to me..... and your "heart in the right place pacifist" position on it does make a lot of sense.... until you put up with it for awhile
But even then you dont wanna get angry. You just look for monthy python style ways to make his life worse. Not that I have YET. I just ignore him so far. But his future if he keeps this up is... not bright... and its not orange.0 -
