    Have you ever been around someone who can't NOT talk about the Bible and what it has to say on whatever you are talking about?

    Bible Thumpers can sometimes be relelentless.

    I would call it a Love Bomb but not in the good sense.

    I think devout Slaves of Christ could use some more discretion of who they thump on the head with a Bible verse.

    I've known a few in my time. Man they can drive you crazy, they just don't stop!

    They can turn anything you're talking about into a bible discussion!!!

    Blah blah blah, bible this - bible that ... blah blah blah In the end they either bore you or make you feel guilty.

    It can also be counterproductive, especially with kids.

    If you constantly bash them with Bible verses, they can end up resenting and hating the Bible, and all your lectures end up backfiring.

    Depends. If it goes on long enough my language might get abusive. Working on that.

    I've honestly never known anyone like that. But I wasn't brought up in religion either.
