Object: Can't get rid of proselytizing theists? Try this...
A atheist friend of mine's take on how to deal with people trying to
suck you into Christianity:

Use this line:

Jesus said you shouldn't throw your pearls before swine.

What he means is people like me are swine - and the good news is the
pearls.

So go away.

I prefer "Get away from me or I'll rip your nuts off and shove them down
your throat until you choke to death on them."
But you could also try "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye
make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."

We could always try what the chimps at the zoo do - throw feces at
them and laugh hysterically. We'd just be giving like for like, after
all.

Nice. Very poetic. I still think my "feces" idea is more
appropriate. ;-)

I *like* it. I wonder if there's be a market for an "anti-solicitor kit"
that included realistic, but fake feces. (It's a pity it'd have to be fake
to be legal, but there it is.)

Do not purchase an aerosol can of starting fluid and a lighter.
Do not spray short bursts of the fluid over the flame which should be
6" ahead of the nozzle, being careful not to spray the lighter itself.
Don't even think of using a staple gun, either.

I met a guy once, in Missouri, that whenever he traveled, carried pocket
bibles with him in the airports. He'd actively look for the moonies, and
approach them "Have you heard the word of God today?" Figured it would keep
them from harassing anyone else while he was around. Claimed to have
actually converted one, even.

But you could also try "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,

when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than
yourselves."


If you have a few more volumes of that you could start your own
religion.

I've thought about it. Unfortunately, I detest every single person on the
entire planet, personally and individually, and don't actually give a *****
if any of 'em are miserable. It's far easier to just cause them to desire
to never interact with me again.

A atheist friend of mine's take on how to deal with people trying to

Use this line:

Jesus said you shouldn't throw your pearls before swine.

What he means is people like me are swine - and the good news is the
pearls.

So go away.


I prefer "Get away from me or I'll rip your nuts off and shove them down
your throat until you choke to death on them."

But you could also try "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!

In 1969, A roommate glanced out the front windows and said "Jehovah's
Witnesses! Everybody strip!" Big Rick tore off his clothes and threw
'em behind his chair and picked up the newspaper. I dumped my shorts
and picked up one of the cats. Pat appeared at the kitchen doorway
looking very domestic in her apron and nothing else but a spatula. I
have *never seen anyone look so shocked when Paul opened the front
door. We all had wide-eyed looks of innocence, I'm sure. I never saw
an old man in a suit *dash before...
<sigh> I miss the sixties sometimes.

It's been tried, and it doesn't seem
to work. Another reason to avoid
it is the implication that the non-
believers are swine.

But what Christians describe as 'pearls' are merely little balls of pig
*****.
