I'm not angry, I just don't believe in god |
Two women showed up at my door this morning. I'm assuming Jehovah's
Witnesses, but I never did give them a chance to go into the spiel. I
answered the door and the elderly lady (EL) remarked what a nice view we
have (which is true. The lake is very pretty, leaves are changing, and
all sorts of birds were hitting the feeders.). As the middle-aged one
(MA) was reaching into a bag the size of your average tote bag, I could
see her grabbing a bible and I told her, "If this is anything religious,
we may as well save your time and mine. I'm an atheist and no, I won't
change my mind." Out whipped the bible and got clutched to her chest
(doesn't work lady. I'm an atheist, not a vampire.) Her big toothy
grin fell into a concerned expression followed by "How long have you
been angry at god?" (please imagine this in a combination of an
undertaker's assistant talking to the bereaved and a grade school nurse's
concerned voices). I told her I wasn't angry and that I didn't get
angry at mythological beings. The EL wasn't paying much attention to
the conversation (Hard of hearing? Not all there? Just smiling and
enjoying the view and, possibly, her compatriot's discomfiture? Don't
know.) MA kept insisting I'd "turned away from god" because I was angry
at him. Oh, maybe I didn't know it, but that was the only possible
reason. So, I evidently don't know why I'm an atheist, I'm angry at an
imaginary construct, I don't know why I'm angry at it, but I'm denying
being angry at it (for some unknown reason). Golly! I'm sure glad that
there are some christians around who can read my mind and know things
about me I don't. (/sarcasm)

Last year I was building my art studio and had a very Nice JW man
visit me repeatedly (bringing a different cohort every time- I think
he was showin' me off to them)
After the 4th hour-long visit of discussing my opinions on religion
and he, his I decided to investigate the OTHER side of Jehovah's
Witness by searching online... found out some Amazing stuff (like
they
supported Hitler in the late 30's and Jesus came back in 1914 (but
was
invisible))
On the fifth visit, I was ready... I was going to give HIM some
reading materials for a change, and honestly, I was hoping he would
be
able to refute some of the claims (which would be hard since their
own
"Watchtower" was the source of my information.) He came into my
studio and I handed him 6 pages of print out...
As soon as I told him what it was, it was as if the paper was on
fire!
He couldn't get rid of it fast enough.. which was funny, since one of
the ex-JW web sites I visited PREDICTED that exact reaction.
He never came back... very sad really. hehe

Oh, my! I wonder if there's any kind of "cleansing ceremony" the poor
guy had to go through after touching that sort of thing. But I bet
his
expression was priceless!
And I hope you're a rain lover after the way it's been dumping today.
I'm a ways south of you, between Olympia and Tenino and it's wetter

at him. Oh, maybe I didn't know it, but that was the only possible
reason. So, I evidently don't know why I'm an atheist, I'm angry at an
imaginary construct, I don't know why I'm angry at it, but I'm denying
being angry at it (for some unknown reason). Golly! I'm sure glad that
there are some christians around who can read my mind and know things

I don't know why people get angry at this. They were nice ladies, and
they were trying to save you. I would just be in awe and amazed that
it is possible for a mind to work in such..peculiar ways.
Possible reply:
"Yeah I'm angry with God, but sending two senile old crones my way
won't do it. I expect some pretty sweet make-up sex for us to get on
speaking terms again."

What happened when you told her what a remarkably stupid question to
ask an atheist, and asked her how long she had been angry at the
Easter Bunny?
And then asked her what she hoped to achieve by lying about you to
your face?
These loonies are completely bereft of common courtesy.
They get sent out but not prepared to deal with the real world. So
they releat the lies their religion has told them about anybody
outside their group. They use their own meanings for words and try to
hold conversations with people using the original meanings.
Both these are a recipe for frustration that they're not supposed to
show, but get shown by their involuntary audience.
With the result that they will be glad to return to the comfort of
their group, united against a hostile world that hates them It's a
powerful reinforcement.

Reminds me of a funny story. A lady I used to work with used to put out a
wide variety of leftovers out in her backyard for her local wildlife. One
time, she put out the carcass from the turkey dinner at Thanksgiving.
Imagine her shock and horror to look out her kitchen window the following
morning and see an absolutely huge turkey vulture tearing apart the remains
in the middle of her flower garden :)

I can think of many other things to find eating the carcass that would
shock and horrify me much, much worse than that...

I didn't say *I* was going to eat it. I could easily set up a turkey
vulture feeder, you know. ;)
Damn, what did turkey vultures ever do to you to deserve such horror?
Reminds me of a funny story.
Which is a little spooky in its own right.
A lady I used to work with used to put out a
wide variety of leftovers out in her backyard for her local wildlife.
One
time, she put out the carcass from the turkey dinner at Thanksgiving.
Imagine her shock and horror to look out her kitchen window the following
morning and see an absolutely huge turkey vulture tearing apart the
remains in the middle of her flower garden :)
I can think of many other things to find eating the carcass that would
shock and horrify me much, much worse than that...
Eek! Like what?!?!? :)

What happened when you told her what a remarkably stupid question to

your face?
These loonies are completely bereft of common courtesy.
They get sent out but not prepared to deal with the real world. So
they releat the lies their religion has told them about anybody
outside their group. They use their own meanings for words and try to
hold conversations with people using the original meanings.
Both these are a recipe for frustration that they're not supposed to
show, but get shown by their involuntary audience.
With the result that they will be glad to return to the comfort of
their group, united against a hostile world that hates them It's a
powerful reinforcement.
Part of that martyr complex/suffering persecution thing, I think. I
don't want to persecute anybody, I just want them to stay the hell off
my doorstep.
In their fantasy world that's persecution.
They might have a case next time when I yell, "Great! The freezer needs
fillin'!" and chase them up the driveway with a shotgun.
EEEEEEEEwwwwwwwwwww
tainted meat!

Hmmmmm....think pigeons. Think statue. Now think turkey vulture and
car. Need I say more? ;)

Two women showed up at my door this morning. I'm assuming Jehovah's
Witnesses, but I never did give them a chance to go into the spiel. I
answered the door and the elderly lady (EL) remarked what a nice view we
have (which is true. The lake is very pretty, leaves are changing, and
all sorts of birds were hitting the feeders.). As the middle-aged one
(MA) was reaching into a bag the size of your average tote bag, I could
see her grabbing a bible and I told her, "If this is anything religious,
we may as well save your time and mine. I'm an atheist and no, I won't
change my mind." Out whipped the bible and got clutched to her chest
(doesn't work lady. I'm an atheist, not a vampire.) Her big toothy
grin fell into a concerned expression followed by "How long have you
been angry at god?" (please imagine this in a combination of an
undertaker's assistant talking to the bereaved and a grade school nurse's
concerned voices). I told her I wasn't angry and that I didn't get
angry at mythological beings. The EL wasn't paying much attention to
the conversation (Hard of hearing? Not all there? Just smiling and
enjoying the view and, possibly, her compatriot's discomfiture? Don't
know.) MA kept insisting I'd "turned away from god" because I was angry
at him. Oh, maybe I didn't know it, but that was the only possible
reason. So, I evidently don't know why I'm an atheist, I'm angry at an
imaginary construct, I don't know why I'm angry at it, but I'm denying
being angry at it (for some unknown reason). Golly! I'm sure glad that
there are some christians around who can read my mind and know things
about me I don't. (/sarcasm)
For next time: "I don't have any energy left over to be angry at your manic
delusions. I'm angry at Pinocchio! The fucker screwed up everything he put his hand to,
and disappointed poor old Gipetto at every turn. It keeps me up, nights, seething at the
inconsiderate, insolant, irresponsible little *****'s complete failure to conform.
Pinocchio blows!!!!"
