Is It a Sin?
When it comes to religion, I always find myself judging myself when it comes to certain things, and I'm here to clarify if I'm the only one who does this and if truly, any of these things are indeed a sin.
The first one is something that happens to me frequently online, and that is when my conscience judges me whenever I see a video online, talking about God and I skip it. Most times, I always force myself back to the video to watch it, just so that I can stop feeling guilty about it.
But you see, irrespective of how frequently that has been happening to me, I've somehow found a way to ignore the guilt and just move on to the next video, so it's not that much of a problem for me anymore, unlike the next thing that I'm about to say now, which is the jehovah witness and other churches who do door to door evangelism.
You see, I've never really been a fan of door to door evangelism, and although I technically grew up in the church, I don't like it when people come to my home and indirectly asks me to stop whatever it is I was doing just so that I could pay attention to what they have to do, which in most cases is something I already know about.
But I'm a good boy, and I'm trained on respect and all that, so it's always very difficult for me to say no to this people whenever they come around. But then again, respect works both ways and there are times where I've had to put my respect aside and just say my mind, only in this case, whenever I'm about to say no to them and ask them to leave, my conscience always comes knocking, telling me that chasing this people away was as good as chasing God away, and that is the last thing I would ever want to do.
But is that right? Shouldn't I be able to decide when and where I want to listen to the gospel? Or is my conscience right and am I indirectly committing sin by asking this people to leave?

Religion is free and it is not a thing that can be forced. I don't like when someone try to force me in case of religion. If someone try to force me, I hurt them badly by making them understand they are doing the wrong thing. I am a debater and I know how to debate well with logic. If one force for religion, it's is kind of sin in my opinion because it generate hate for the religion little by little.
Well I understand you but my question really isn't about being forced.. I was asking instead if ignoring these preachers when they come to our door is a sin or not? And also why we feel guilty about it.
It's not a sin. Religion allows you to make your own decision. I think as long as you are not doing anything against the religion, it can't be a sin.
Well, to be sincere , while I stroll through the Facebook feed sometimes, I also feel guilty skipping gospel video , but the truth is that not all the time that I am in the mood to listen to gospel online but whenever I am led,I listen attentively without skipping!
As for Jehovah witness people moving door to door evangelism, it's sometimes discomforting when they come in the midst of my busy schedule
As much I don't like pursuing them because of God and because of my conscience , I do plead with them to make it very short as I am busy and sometimes I plead with them politely for us to have the session in their next visit if actually my hands are tied, but on my free days, I give them time to express themselves while I listen .

You plead with them? But isn't pleading with them makes it feel like you're kinda taking permission from them or something?
Like I understand wanting to be polite, but my question is... Is it right that we feel guilty when we ask them to leave?
Not like taking permission from them per say..remember , they are God's representative, kind of respecting the God they proclaim , just being respectful because I also go to evangelism with Catholic charismatic and it doesn't always feel good wen someone dismiss us harshly
Yes, I think it's normal to feel guilty because you have conscience and u respect God, otherwise u wouldn't even care.
I hope u get it ?
