AA - JW's |
I had the JW's last weekend. Two women and two pre-teen girls. I
said immediately I was an atheist. One lady turns to a pre-teen and
says. 'what do you say to that?' and she begins to hand me a tract. I
said, 'it's okay sweetie, I'm not interested' and she stops.
So the lady says, 'if you're an atheist, what happens when you
die?'
I said 'nothing.'
And she starts laughing.
It pissed me off. 'How dare you laugh at my convictions when I'm
giving you my full attention. Do you think that by laughing at me I'll
believe in your absurd fantasy?'
Then she looks at the children, and they're riveted on the
exchange. They are freaking. I looked at them and said, 'don't let
your parents destroy your minds. It's all make believe.'
The ladies hustle the children down the driveway in two seconds
flat. The lady turns and says I'll burn in hell forever.
I yelled, 'I wouldn't say that to you!'

I wonder if this is a trend. The last two times that they came around to
me they had small kids in tow.
So the lady says, 'if you're an atheist, what happens when you

I said 'nothing.'

But of course they would be outraged if you laughed at their fairy tale.
Then she looks at the children, and they're riveted on the

Good reply! They try to cram their superstitions down our throats and if
we object they condemn us to hell and then scream 'persecution!'.

It's worse than that - they had put themselves in your personal space,
where your POV is the only one that counts. She was being incredibly,
stupidly rude.
Then she looks at the children, and they're riveted on the
exchange. They are freaking. I looked at them and said, 'don't let
your parents destroy your minds. It's all make believe.'

More of the same.
I yelled, 'I wouldn't say that to you!'
At which point you can say what you like.

Once upon a time in alt.atheism, dear sweet Steve Knight
(wooly@sonic.net) made the light shine upon us with this:
I had the JW's last weekend. Two women and two pre-teen girls. I
said immediately I was an atheist. One lady turns to a pre-teen and
says. 'what do you say to that?' and she begins to hand me a tract. I
said, 'it's okay sweetie, I'm not interested' and she stops.
So the lady says, 'if you're an atheist, what happens when you
die?'
I said 'nothing.'
And she starts laughing.
It pissed me off. 'How dare you laugh at my convictions when I'm
giving you my full attention. Do you think that by laughing at me I'll
believe in your absurd fantasy?'
Then she looks at the children, and they're riveted on the
exchange. They are freaking. I looked at them and said, 'don't let
your parents destroy your minds. It's all make believe.'
The ladies hustle the children down the driveway in two seconds
flat. The lady turns and says I'll burn in hell forever.
I yelled, 'I wouldn't say that to you!'
