No. Totally different. Jay agreed to joint them for lunch. He even said
they asked if he wouldn't mind them saying a prayer. He could have left the
conversation at any time.

He makes it sound like they followed him and hounded him. From what I read
it was not rude behavior. I find it a bit odd that some people to talk to
strangers about religion, but what is rude about it?

People just seem to want to be isolated and not have to deal with anyone
different than they are. Clearly Jay's reaction (as others have pointed
out) seem to stem more from his own issues with religions than anything the
two people he met did.

Makes me wonder what would happen if I (or anyone) stayed at his little
hotel and he found something about us odd. What would be posted on this
newsgroup the following week?

I suppose you have a great deal of respect for telemarketers too?

Some people think they hear a call to the priesthood when what they
really
hear is a tiny voice whispering "It's indoor work with no heavy
lifting".
