So, its been one day since my appendectomy, so I go out of my house, to get some fresh air. I walk out, and my freaking neighbor comes up to me, and say's "So, your friends told me you got appendicitis, you know, if you believed in god, he wouldn't of given you such a thing." I just laugh and say, "I don't need to believe in a imaginary thing." the dude get's all pissed and goes, "Ya know, you are going to go straight to hell, you don't believe in god?! You are the most ignorant person I have ever met.", after he said that I just laughed it off and said, "Um, ya know, it doesn't really count, if the only people you talk to are church goers." then he get's all pissed, and starts reciting verses from the bible, and I just go, "Shut the hell up. Don't get all butt hurt because I don't believe in him, you can go ahead and believe in him, I ain't doing anything to offend you." and the dude goes, "I am not trying to offend you, I am just trying to save a pathetic soul!" which gets me a tiny bit pissed, and I just shrug it off, and go, "Sorry, but my 'Pathetic Soul' doesn't need saving by an imaginary being." and then he just gets all pissed, and I just walk back inside...
Was I being an ass to him or something? I don't think I did/say anything to offend him.
Well, if somebody like a mormon came to my house and tried to make me one I wouldn't be mean. I would just bring my smile and look for any opening to get him to leave.
how is it like, living beside an angry ned flanders?
whatever he is a douche, neglicting you opinions, hes sounded pretty holed, so if you sat down with him an hour, you could probably peel him down from his "religious" pedistal XD
He came to my house just a couple hours ago, came here with a Bible, saying "Here, read this, and you might be saved." I promptly said "Read it, didn't care for it." and slammed the door.
Well, you weren't mean or anything this time(although you could've been more tactful than slamming the door). But don't be so hard on him. I mean, I don't think he realizes he's being a total jerk. I mean, if you thought someone you knew was going to burn and be tortured for all eternity, wouldn't you want to save them?
Just buy a No Religious Soliciting sign and stick it in your yard or on your door. Worked for me, hopefully it'll work for you.

Ask him how he would like it if you came to his door and shoves science textbooks in his face tellinh him you were just trying to save him from wasting his life going to church, praying to god, and following his rules.
You were a bit of an ass to him, but I wouldn't have done any less (if I wasn't a Christian). He's got his beliefs all backwards; God wouldn't punish people for not being Christians or EVERYONE would notice and then want to be a Christian. It might've been worse if you had started it, but since he was attacking your beliefs and your character, you had every right to do that.
Tell him you don't want to be saved because if you are wrong you won't be able to face the humiliation. Maybe that'll convince him.
