I draw a chalk outline of a body on the front steps and toss religious tracts around it. Works really well at keeping 'em away.

Jay, Jay, Jay! Look at the hornet's nest you have stirred up! Interesting post, and one that I can relate to, except it wasn't in a casino by an airport, but at the front door of my own home! I guess I got a Book of Mormon out of the whole deal (and not much more), so it wasn't so bad! Of course, they were back for a follow up session a few days later, and the chicken that I am, I got my roommate to tell them that I wasn't there (and he told them that he was not interested)! Ah well .....

Judah,

Nah - you have nothing to worry about... I have it on good authority that
the Jews were right anyway.


Oh really? I thought it was Buddha.

Reading Scet's post below, I must saw that I thought differently too. I had
seen some of your conservative views (especially after 9/11), and so was all
the
more surprised by your post. I guess conservative, and religious don't
necessarily go in the same sentence! :-) What do you know - you learn
something new everyday!

Which is why we desperately need a third political party in the U.S.. IMHO,
"my" Republican Party -- the "Alex Keaton Conservtive Party" of the 1980s--
has withered and died under the acidic influence of the Religious Right.

Worse, Republicans are no longer fiscally conservative by any stretch of the
imagination.

Lessee here - your idea of heaven is a place where force 8 T-storms blow through
without warning, it's 110 degrees one day and brass monkeys the next, and you
need replacement feet every night? Yet another religion I'll pass up.

Well, you can find them in Levitticus. There are actually something like 116
commandments. They're usually called the "law of Moses". There's a section in
the New Testament in which Jesus says that a man should do his best to obey all
of the commandments, but under no circumstances should he violate the ten that
he felt were most important. This has been corrupted by Christian leaders to
the concept that there are only ten commandments.

The best one I've ever heard about was the "Sacred Church Of Larry's Bar
And
Grill" down in the Los Angeles area.

Larry's Bar and Grill had topless waitresses. Some of them began to have
less
clothes than that. The California ABC moved to shut down the place.

They closed for two weeks. They reopened as the "Sacred Church..." with
all the
appropriate paperwork and such. Now the "vestal virgins" can wear
anything or
nothing, as they see fit. The holy sacrament of beer is free. However,
you had
damned well better "tithe" for your beer or the "holy monks" will take you
outside and cleanse you of your bad habits.

And, the whole damn thing is tax deductible.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-
-Back in the 80's when people were forming churches for the tax
-deductions, a couple pilot friends discussed forming the Church of
-Whats Happening Now. Their airplanes were to be donated to the church
-so that all their fuel and flying could be deducted as church business.

Better yet, when they hand you a copy of Lighthouse or what ever they call
it, offer them a copy of the Adam and Eve sex toy catalog.

Well, when the Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses come to my door, I find it
works
well to ask them to come back at a time when my wife and my Mistress can
both
be present to hear them.

That's nasty. I like it.

Next time either mob arrives at my door, I'm going to ask for the address
of their nearest meeting place, and the time of the next weekend service.
I'm sure they'll smell a convert...

Then I'll tell them that I'll arrive about 30 minutes after the service
starts with an armful of National Geographic & New Scientist, hammer on
the door until someone answers, and harangue them about evolution and the
scientific method.

Hey, if they can bang on my door, what goes around comes around...

Brian.

G.R.,

This has been corrupted by Christian leaders


I must say: I am shocked! Shocked!

We've got a third party already -- The Libertarian Party.
http://www.libertarianism.com/

When I was young and idealistic, I swore I would never vote a straight
party ticket, that I would always vote for or against individuals. Now
that I'm old and cynical, if there's a Libertarian running, I vote for
him/her.

There are still some things about Libertarian philosophy I'm not sure
will work, but I figure if only 90% of what they espouse sounds good to
me, that's way better than the 10% the Republicrats score.

Oh, BTW, growing up in the Bible Belt, I learned early how to deal with
people trying to convert me. My best friend in high school ended up
being a missionary. We used to get into some fine arguments, er,
discussions. He learned more bible verses from me than I learned from
him.

In the end, as adults, he was the one who couldn't handle talking to me
any more. Especially after I said something about starting a "Bikers
for Buddha" club.
