Does "The Sunday Service" creep you out?

It seems that over the past year and a half or so the city's municipal department has seen to it that if people refuse to go to church, church will be brought to them in the form of a religious "congregation" of sorts that takes place on the bus. I am forced to rely on bus travel right now, and I do not take the bus on Sundays by choice. It seems, however, that every Sunday when I get on it the bus driver is conducting some sort of service. Often he seems to be holding church on the bus, and he has much of his congregation in transport. He is very, very polite and friendly, but almost seems too exuberant, and animated. I have dubbed this bus service, on which he was placed with intention, "The Sunday Service". It always takes place on the only route near my home.

Annoyance, however, is only part of the problem. It appears that many people who ride "The Sunday Service" seem to be dying or becoming seriously ill. I have noticed that people come to the bus driver and tell them about these misfortunes. I am annoyed that in this country that has taken political correctness to the point of nausea and has many citizens of various non-Christian faiths, this type of behaviour is permitted by a public servant. At least the city's administration could be more considerate of the people who just like to ride the public transit in peace and not have their ride interrupted by exclamations of "Glory Hallelujah!" , "God loves you!", "Jesus loves you!", and "Praise to the Lord!" I have even seen this bus driver hand out religious pamphlets to a passenger, a practice that I thought was against the rules. A woman with a sneaky smile once proclaimed in a loud and conspicuous voice that the Lord decides who is to live die. She looked almost stunned when I reminded her that sometimes people take it into their own hands to decide who is to live and die, and she appeared to be stuck for words. I did not try to convey the impression that I approved of this type of thought, and I at least hope that my disapproval was apparent.

Am I just being paranoid and intolerant?

If he has a business going, do you think it is right to put temptation in people's faces?

    Perhaps next they will literally bring church to house. But they do have home churches. However, some christians Im sure would love to go to some houses of people that arent interested, and force them to be intrested.

    No I dont believe youre paranoid, I grew up in the bible belt and I know how pushy christians can be.

    I lived on native american land when I grew up in Texas, and ive seen a lot of cursed houses. I will not tell you or anyone else how to remove curses, because some things HAVE TO BE AS THEY ARE.

    Sorry, I have no sympathy towards those that wish me to be someone Im not.

    It's like an afternoon for Dracula, drinking blood and feeling guilty

    No, you are not being intolerant. This sounds terrible, and I no longer want to escape to canada. Thanks for crushing my dreams, dream crusher.
