Um, no - he was free to leave any time. He joined them for a meal, they
chatted about stuff, then the topic came to religion. What is rude? Just say "Sorry, bye." and go on your way. No need to make fun of people or name call. I think the terrorism thing is a bit overstated, don't you? Not at all the same thing. What was aggressive? Jay could have walked away any time, or asked to drop the subject. I think the religion thing is a waste of time, however I am at least respectful of people's religions - especially the ones that are consistent. "Dan Luke" wrote in message ...

We should respect rude, aggressive proselytizers because they are able to convince themselves God wants them to behave that way?

It can be uncomfortable to leave in that situation. Especially after one has
already started eating. Some might feel they are being rude to leave. (I wouldn't in this situation) And you've already got your food started, you silverware being used, your drink on the table. You napkin unfolded or whatever. It's just plain a pain in the ass to have to move. However, after asking once to change the subject, if it didn't change I'd make as many trips as necessary to get as far away from them as possible. And I'd probably (now this is me talking) make as big a production as I could of it. Might just embarass them enough to knock it off next time. Probably not, though. mike regish "Richard Hertz" wrote in message t... Um, no - he was free to leave any time. He joined them for a meal, they chatted about stuff, then the topic came to religion.

In my younger days (and if Mary was not with me), I most certainly would have done exactly THAT. Nowadays, I'm so danged mellow, I'll put up with just about anything -- especially if there's an all-you-can-eat buffet nearby.... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
