So just a few minutes ago I had an encounter with a genuine door-to-door salesman! (Apparently they do still make those.) Very friendly and polite, but I’m not exactly the target audience for books of bible stories. (At least, not when they are _ **two hundred and fifty frigging dollars** _ for [three slender volumes](https://bibleinstories.com/#buy). Ten bucks for a used set? Maybe.) (Apparently not a scam–googling for door to door bible salesmen brought up [a recent local news story on them](http://wspa.com/2017/06/30/door-to-door-bible-sales-legit-say-anderson-co-deputies/).) ---

I hate Jesus and LOVE having money. Render unto Caeser! ---

The idea of reading Bible Stories chills my blood. ---

I like that the website has a tab for a page titled, “How it Works”. I think most people don’t need someone to explain to them how a book works. ---

You know what they say about assuming… I still find this less creepy than Cutco Knife Salesmen. You know what I don’t want involved when I invite a stranger into my home? Knives. Seriously, who came up with that? ---
