Of course, if you ask them, they'll talk about it with you, but they will not insist that you live your life a certain way simply because they are present. Just because your own experience includes interaction with a few overbearing religious people, please do not be so quick to judge what is, for the most part, a peace-loving community. Unfortunately it's usually the loud, overbearing, fire and brimstone kind of people who get all the religious publicity and misrepresent what most of the religious community stands for. - Jordan
