Last night we went to the Bob Cat for a burger and a beer as we often do. As we headed for the door a group of folks passed us. A smiley faced guy handed me a post card. I took it not thinking. As I entered the Bob Cat I looked at the picture on one side. Two men cowering in a barren rubble landscape. A central light came down in front of them. I flipped it over and found a 800 number where I could get a free copy of the Book of More Man. It sounded kinda Gay. I thought for a moment, More like the book of Moron. How come people need to shove their belief structure into the faces of those who didn't ask for it? It is not constructive in any way. Why the smile? Is it to disarm? Why not just state your GD purpose? Hey I am stumping for my lord. I am distributing junk mail for Jesus. Just say it right out front. A bunch of cowards really.

I'll never forget the time (years back) a couple of older ladies knocked on my bachelor apt door and I opened it only to have them walk right in and start talking Jesus this and Jesus that. I wanted to kick them in the ass, but they being 'ladies', made it a no-go. After about 10-15 minutes of me being patient I told them I had to tend to some business, so they asked if they could leave me some material to read on my own. Not just flyers either. They loaded me up with all sorts of hard-cover material, that was intended to convert me. They said they would be back in a few days to retrieve the "borrow" books from me. As they walked out the door, I tossed the whole package deal in the trash. 3 days later, sure enough they came calling. I just watched from inside without opening the door. They were quite persistent, and walked around the apt building knocking on every available door. They finally gave up and left a note asking me to return their material. Of course, by now it was in the landfill where it belonged. I suppose I'll go to hell over such juvenile behavior, but hey, it made me laugh so hard, it drew tears.....tears of joy!
