They were annoying but not hateful. My first college roommate was into that stuff, and she was really irritating because she kept bugging me to go to her Jesus meetings with her instead of doing normal college stuff like hanging out with disreputable men and smoking weed. I moved to another dorm as soon as there was an opening. She meant well, though, which is more than we can say for the Kirklejerkers.
