Is it normal to try to convert people who bully me?

Let me start off by saying I'm agnostic on a good day. I am an anti-social, overly skinny anime otaku. You probably know a few guys like me. I tend to get bullied and one day, as a response, I started talking to the bullies about Jesus. I really pushed it and before I knew it, I ended up taking those guys to a random church, claiming it's mine and even the locals played along (obviously seizing the chance to get in a few "saved souls", right?).

It worked so wonderfully that I've made it into a hobby. The bullies will either take the bait or be so annoyed by my pushing and bible thumping that they will walk away, almost feeling violated.

This amuses the hell out of me, does anyone else do this?

    So you use christian brainwashing to scare the bullies away. Your not "saving souls" Your destroying souls. Your no better then bullies. Your in fact worse then bullies.

    If a sadistic bully can change his ways because of Christianity, then I can say publically to all the naysayers that religion is not just a way for the strong to control the weak and desperate with brainwashing, but at least an occasional force for good?

      Anything can be abused. It does not mean the organization itself or teachings themselves are inherently bad.

    I sort of do the same except I don't really get any sort of ecstasy from it like how you described. In my case I actually talk to my bullies. For example I knew this one kid in high school who would always pick on me, calling me short and other mean things. Anyways, overtime I started to realize that he doesn't pick on me when he's alone, only when his friends are around. Well sure enough we were in the same pre-calc class and I decided to ask him one day why he treats me the way that he does. I was being serious I told him, why do you pick on me and what have I done to you. In response he told me that those guys that he hangs out with only care about him when he's picking on me, otherwise he's practically invisible to them. He told me that these people are dicks and he feels bad for how he treats me but he doesn't like being ignored. Well I told him that we have something in common, we both feel alone. I told him that we should be friends cause in all honesty he wasn't a bad guy, just felt alone in high school. Now I actually consider him a good friend. And he actually gave me a note on graduation night saying that I changed him for the better, and how he really valued our friendship.

    I tried befriending another bully and surely enough he didn't like getting too personal so he just called me a loser and left me alone.

    Either ways there's a positive ending. I think essentially that's what you should go for, helping others mend their pain. If you're a bully then there's probably some problem that you're dealing with. If you're the one being bullied then that alone is a problem. I think a bully and the one being bullied can be friends, not always, but if you're just doing it to feel some sort of release then that kinda sucks. But hey I get it, I mean if it feels good then why not do it. It just sounds wrong that you enjoy changing people. But I guess in the end if they're a better person then that's good. But I don't think this is sort of normal, like to have this as a hobby.

    Two wrong don't make a right. As far as I'm concerned, YOU are worst than your so called "bullies". YOU are being a bigger bully by indoctrinating them into what is essentially a cult and setting them up for a torturous existence.

        Well Jesus said turn the other cheek and that is what you did. I guess no one can say you are a bad christian/Catholic since you seem to be following the message of the faith.

        I really don't think I would have done the same thing in the same situation. You have a lot of guts. Takes a lot to do something nice for people that do nothing but hurt you.

        I don't think most people following it are following any of these religions for the right reasons. You seem to actually understand the point of it.

        I am not a male, but if ever undergo surgery to become one, you shall be the first I tell.

        I was an acolyte, though.
