to lure me in. "Would you like a free hot chocolate?" He says through a breathy cloud forming between us. "Oh, what the heck" I reply. I am warmer than he is, yet I am the one being offered hot chocolate...why doesn't HE have a hot chocolate? Is he suffering for some kind of cause? "Here you go" Says the girl behind the table, as she smiles and hands me my hot chocolate (lidded and marshmallow-ed for pure satisfaction). "Thanks a lot" I say, a little suspicious of this particular event. 'No promotional material?!' I think as I turn to leave and..."Oh, here's a card...and please come to a non-threatening meet and greet at the Alpha office...if You'd like to come and check out what christianity is all about, there will be more free stuff there..." Says hot chocolate giver. I look at my hot chocolate, and then at her and say "oh, right...thanks for the invitation"
that's right, give me free things...all you want in return is my soul.
It's too bad I lost it in a poker game.
free things are for chumps.
