Saturday Morning Bible Peddling
It’s Saturday morning, I just awoke, I’m checking my mail, reading my RSS feeds and then my alarm system goes off. My alarm system is my neighbour’s dog who barks as soon as the downstairs door is open even if we are 3 floors up.
Knock, Knock
Damn it, I’m not even dressed what the fuck is this?
I open the door only half way and I see to 40ish women conservatively dressed holding pamphlets… oh now I know what the fuck this is. Religious people proselytizing about their saviour. They travel in pairs which I find odd. You’d think they would travel in trios, as in the trinity, but I digress.
Lady1:“Are you afraid of crime?“
Lady2:“Do you think there’s too much crime? That there will always be crime?“
Nice pitch, start with fear, nothing like fear of something to start converting people
Dave: “There will always be crime, such is the nature of the human being, we’re built that way“
Lady1 opens pamphlet “Yes but…“
Dave: “Look Lady if this has anything to do with any type of religion you are barking up the wrong tree, I’m a hardened atheist“
Lady1 continuing “… in Psalm one twenty“
I didn’t let her finish.
Dave: “Listen, I don’t have religious beliefs and there’s no way in hell you’ll get me to listen to superstitious bullshit, thank you and have a good day.” and I closed the door.
Trying to convert me with fear based issues, sheesh! And on my day off. Damn you just converted me to angry.
Who lets those people in the building, anyway?
The door is open… can’t do much about it.
thats something, but imagine growing up in utah as i did. you had TWO screen doors!
urghhh, poor you. I’m so glad my address now seems to be on the ban list of the Mormons and Jehovah twits, as I never had them in now 6 years. Must be because I was talking that I was a satanist at the door one morning with two men, and having my ex walking naked in the house, behind me
Probably scared them away and ban my address from their databases.
Sad, but true. Sometimes the best way to get rid of them is to offend them. I did something similar years ago. I may have invited them in to join our orgy…
