Nice opinion piece in US |

"Ah, but who is more determined than a religious zealot faced with what
they believe is a lost soul? Naturally, my lack of faith struck my new
friend as a challenge so he placed one hand on my shoulder and started
praying out loud."
I hate it when they do that. Next one's gonna draw back a nub where his
hand used to be..

Occasionally, but far too often for my taste, there will be believers
wandering the sidewalks handing out revival pamphlets. They shove a
pamphlet out toward you and one's normal reaction is to take it. I've
trained myself to keep my hands where they are. The reaction is
comical. The believer first makes jabbing motions with the pamphlet
in an effort to get me to take it. Then he tells me how wonderful the
revival will be and how I will be blessed, and tries to hand me the
pamphlet again. I've even had one follow me down the street for a
block extolling the virtues of the preacher all the while waving the
pamphlet in the air while I make exasperated faces to passersby.
I do so love a parade.
However, if one of them ever did touch me, he would be up on assault
charges before he could say, "Praise Jesus!"

Holy crap! I am so glad this silliness doesn't happen in my neck of the
woods.

Wow, you ain't kidding.

I can usually sidestep the pamphlet pushers. However the ones that annoy
me more are the one who leave their 'droppings' on my car windshield. I
wish I knew where they parked their cars so I could leave a copy of
"Kissing Hank's *****" on theirs.
However, if one of them ever did touch me, he would be up on assault
charges before he could say, "Praise Jesus!"
Good for you!

Comical indeed. I don't take them, either. At first they generally
think you missed your cue and highlight it via jabbing motions. When
you still don't react, or worse, slowly look down at the offal then back
up there's bewilderment and disbelief on their face(s).
Then they get a silly look on their face as they don't know what to do
next with the silly tract in their hand. It gets them all 'confrazzled'
as their programming doesn't have a 'smooth move' for this situation.
:D

Bet that generates some chuckles at the cretins expense.

Heheheheheh.
