Handle with care.

For no apparent reason, I have been in a crappy, brittle mood all day. Just free-floating aggression, not at all helped by the Giants and 49ers stinking up their respective fields.

I almost feel sorry for the door-to-door theists just just walked into my kill zone. I hit them with everything. Biblical contradictions, their arguments from authority, a challenge to listen to my religion's point of view (Hail Eris!)

Needless to say, they were not happy campers when I finally unclamped my metaphorical jaws from around their throats and let them run away.

Do not mess with the Angry Penguin!

So, were they willing to listen to your religious information? Or was it supposed to be a one-way street?

Never argue Religion with a RC wanna be priest (he studied for two years) and a Born Again Jew (I studied them all and decided that Yes, I am Jewish). We know our bible plus a number of other religions. The Thumpers don't like us either. :)
Though I normally just quickly send them away with a "No, Not Interested", before they take up too much of my time.

Butch (my GF) took to growling at them a ways back. Near as I can tell, they
dont come around much anymore.

All praise Eris!

And Loki, too. They make an awesome couple.

They struck one Saturday morning when [livejournal.com profile] childe_dirk was still groggy. He intended to be polite and tell them that he wasn't interested. Instead, he was accidentally honest and told them "I'm sorry, I'm just not listening."

Good on you.

But...

*I* am a Theist (or perhaps Deist, there is a difference buty I forget what it is). Basically, it's one step from agnostic. I'm fairly sure there's a High Power. Beyond thar, I won't commit to details.

So those folks weren't remotely Theists, as proselytizing is just a *wee* bit difficult for agnostics, theists & deists.

Well, unless you are the nutcase *militant* variety. :-)
