Interesting story of a guy saved from the God crap.

Good read.

"From me, no one was safe from an argument on religion! I'd
talked to everyone I knew, beginning with my close family, my
friends, and my acquaintances, and they all knew where I stood
on the issues: Jesus was the way, Genesis is accurate in all its
teachings (and literal too), and only those in the Lord's true
church (the Church of Christ to which I belonged) would be saved
on the last day. I went door to door for multiple blocks, talking to
every soul I could find. I had to save them from the fires of Hell
like I had been saved. I sure made a lot of people mad at me
who didn't want to hear it! I had two college professors walk away
from me after I basically refused to let them leave their
classrooms in arguments from what they said during class
. I had
a math professor tell me, "Listen, I'm not going to convert to your
religion, guy!" I remember another teacher saying to me, "I'm
happy with my church. I don't need another!" This little crusade of
mine continued until a year and a half after my conversion when I
decided to enter preaching school and officially prepare myself
for the work I had ahead. Secular college was much too worldly
and "evil" for me, so preaching school shined out as my only real
option."



Sounds like some doofs here.

I haven't read the whole site yet, so any comment I make is preliminary. The first thing I have noticed is that he had four assignments in 8 years, not always a problem but it could be indicative of problems way before he got out.
That is a first blush comment, however...

These are the ass wipes that I can't stand. About ten years ago I had a neighbor that was one of these guys and me and a buddy had an apartment and went out drinking quite a bit. The guy comes over on a Saturday as I'm laying on the couch and watching the tube. He wants to talk to me about salvation and has a bible and some literature that he wants to give me. I take it and sit it on the couch and ask him to wait there for a second. I went back to my room and grabbed a "Busty" mag and a "Cheri" and I bring them back out and tell him that I would like to give him something for his effort. He tells me that he is very offended that I had brought these out for him. I let him know that I was likewise offended by his reading material and his attempt at saving me. He told me that I would burn in hell and I handed him back his bible and told him to go have fun with his "Salvation Masturbation material" and that I'd go ahead and keep mine. I also told him to let his wife know that I thought she had nice tits. The guy wasn't very good at taking a compliment.

There used to be a lot of those guys stopping by my pops' house when I lived there. That stopped after one Saturday. Me and a buddy dressed up in white robes and smeared some red food coloring on the cufs and our hands as the salvation seekers knocked on the door. We walked down to the door and asked them if they were here for the sacrafice, and told them that they were a little late but could still get in on it. They freaked out and never came back.

:pray: You da man, wish I would have thought of that. We had a Jehovah Witness infestation years ago, they finally quit coming around because the hound wouldn't let them out of their car. Didn't realize what fun I ws missing. I hope it's not too late.

You got a couple years of catchin' up to do, Bear. Don't take it personally.

When you start posting humorous threads such as this and the Ben-Gay one, then you'll be off and running.

I can't wait Cap'n. That's gonna be awesome to gain your approval in a couple of years when you deem it so. Until then though I will certainly keep my eyes peeled and awaiting any small scraps thrown my way. Thanks for reading this by the way.

You gotta admit though that it is weird that a man of your stature had to share that yuk yuk trophy with a fella that has not nearly the experience you do. Heck if you and D!B hadn't voted for you it would have been an ass kicking.

Why? It is what it is and I haven't worried about what you dramatize as I know that if it's funny then why fuck with it. It's true but tha's all I'm gonna give you.

If in the future you have the opportunity while spinning a yarn to either tell the truth or tell the legend, stick with the legend. It's always a more interesting read. I heard that somewhere before I think.

I've only been on CS for a month or so, regularly. What got me my votes was entirely my AGS reputation. It was just enough to tie you. Think of it that way.
