Hare Krishnas have preached at me. I hated it just as much as I hate Jehovah's Witnesses or the members of the nearby Baptist church coming to my door.

People single out Christians because they are the biggest proselytizers, by far. Most people have never encountered a proselytizing non-Christian. There aren't that many to begin with.

I would imagine most people averse to proselytism don't care what religion it's from. It's all annoying and rude to us.

[QUOTE=Gilligan;685633]Are Christians the only group you don't want to proselytize? If yes, Why? If proselytizing should be forbidden, shouldn't that apply to other religions (or nonreligious) as well?

Me not wanting them to proseltyze does not mean I would legally ban it. All kinds of protected speech offend me, but that's the price of living in a free society.

I don't appreciate it when anyone tells me that my position is worthless and that I need to adopt theirs, especially when they have not gone to the effort to understand my position and are simply judging it on the basis that it is not the same as theirs.  It doesn't really matter what the topic is, or what the position the other one is presenting. 

I do not wish to make such things illegal though.  I would not wish to live in any place that did.  For me, the underlying problem is what would need to be corrected, and that is not something that can be legislated. 

It is a problem endemic in our society today, one of respect, and seeing the consequences of your actions.  Proselytizers are only looking at their selfish goals and what they think is right while not considering the effects on others.

Very good answers here. I don't have an issue with anyone of any religion sharing their point of view with me. I have an issue when the person doing that sharing brushes me aside and tries to tell me what is good for me.

The right to swing your fist stops at the end of my nose.

Personally, I’m not interested in being proselytized at all. I don’t mind a discussion if a conversation evolves that way but I’m not interested at all. I have my faith and not, in the least, interested in converting to something else. I dislike the presumption that is made by many of those proselytizing. I will, politely tell them the first time, No thank you. If they persist, I generally tell them that I’m not interested. If they persist beyond that, I let them know, in no uncertain terms, what I think of their actions, Thankfully, most don’t get to that point but a few do, so I deal with them as needed.
  Another sore spot for me regarding proselytizing is that my apartment complex CLEARLY STATES, no soliciting. Either they can’t read or are so full of themselves to think it doesn’t apply to them.
  For me, I consider proselytizing rude, obnoxious, and presumptuous. Personally, I’d like to see it banned.
