Fans could put that verse citation on signs and wave them at Denver Broncos games, but I doubt it would limit on-the-field holiness displays.
The last clueless proselytizers I had to disperse, showed up at my front door early one Sunday morning - a salt-and-pepper team who announced they were there to pray with me. Somewhere in the manual it should say that when the door is opened by a scowling, wild-bearded figure in a dog-ripped bathrobe who has just had his Sunday morning breakfast and newspaper interrupted, you should apologize and slink away before you are martyred.
Heh. My first introduction to the word “gentile”, as a very young child, was in the Great Brain series of books. These took place in turn-of-the-century Utah, from the point of view of Catholic kid among an overwhelmingly Mormon community. So … even today whenever I hear that word my brain thinks “non-Mormon”.
Second, I can see the proselytizers side of it. The way most of them see it, we’ve all got a horrible disease. They have the cure and we’re nuts for not accepting it. They are, in their way of thinking, just trying to help.
So, I tolerate them as long as they are polite. I hate Jews For Jesus with a passion, however. They are just lying liars telling lies.
Oh, I no longer live there, and I haven’t had any missionaries darken my door since I got the hell out of there. I figure they can sense evil better out of the state.
The OP makes a good point. Only people like us should be allowed to talk to us. As someone else pointed out, it ought to be legal to pepper spray people who are not like us.
