D. You say “Every religion ever invented is a bald-faced lie. Why would I want to waste time listening to you repeat a lie to me? Fuck off.” Then walk away.
Der Trihs? How the hell did you get Clothahump’s logon id and password?
Getting the ID was probably pretty easy.
Hey, I like lies, when they’re part of an entertaining narrative. Catch-22 is full of awesome lies. It’s a pack of lies, front to back. None of it actually happened. But in the end, doesn’t that make it the most veracious truth of all?
No, I suppose it doesn’t.
At any rate, like I said, I don’t mind a little theology, in the proper context. You can call me obtuse I suppose–I really didn’t think these guys were out for converts. They looked like (and sort of presented themselves as) theology students. Which is a breed of religious folk I find most pleasant.
My friend used to have JWs, LDS and other bible thumpers coming to his house all the time. One Saturday he was in his attached garage processing a deer he had bagged. His wife was inside dealing with their 2 year old who was having a full blown screaming temper tantrum. He was working away, carving up the venison when the doorbell rang. He walked through the house and opened the door to find a cleanly dressed couple with bright smiling faces. He asked, “Can I help you?”
They looked at this 6’3” guy standing in front of them, wearing a blood and gore splattered plastic apron, carrying a large blood stained knife. They can hear a child inside screaming his head off. They turned and ran. No one ever came back to his house. They must have passed the word to other religious groups because he gets no proselytizing visitors.
My neighbors and I have now set up a neighborhood watch group. When one of us sees traveling sales people (selling God, newspapers, magazines, or politicians) we call everyone else and spread the word. It’s saved me a lot of frustration.
