The following text is taken almost verbatim from my work this evening.
Scene: reasonably quiet petrol station of the multinational flavour, about ten o'clock. Staff: one (moi), young woman of the cheerful persuasion, willing to go the extra mile for her customers (some of this is a lie.)CUSTOMER OF THE 30 YEAR OLD MALE PERSUASION: *walks in* Can I ( Read more... )

You were behind the counter reading a book werent you? And when he came in you were gnashing your teeth ,I'm sure.
(This is true! Today I fetched water for an old woman in the haemotology clinic. Good deeds for all
Wow! Sainthood here I come! No really fetching little old ladies glasses of water in that clinic always good...did you give up your seat for anyone on the bus? that also gets you *carrotcake points* , Not to mention you came to see J in hospital, and cheered him up - so you have lots of points!
At least you don't look foreign, unfortunately/fortunately I do and thats a bueatiful target isnt it for preaching? doesnt help matters that my mums an atheist and my dad tends to hold the same beliefs and I've grown up a nice mix...but seriously people have there own religions or lack of them for their own reasons! Leave them alone, if they want to convert then trust me they'll do so, its human nature...if not then buzz off.... should do what a friends father does every time Jehovah's witnesses come by.."Now let me tell you about my religion" *snerk* they dont get many of thoose any more....

If they were really serious about saving souls, they'd go to the highlands of New Guinea. In fact, I propose we send them all there.

What is the right way to believe in Jesus? Is there a right way?
Why New Guinea ? Find a deserted Island somewhere and send them there, why torture the poor natives of some country...and if they have to go somewhere populated can there be cannibals? *please please pretty please?* or to quote Hayley *I'll give you a dollar*

Shut up, I was proud of myself. ;) And visiting J totally doesn't count, I had a good time and it was great to see him. (He looked a lot more cheerful that I was expecting him to, actually.)

Actually that hadn't even occurred to me... maybe because a lot of the people who end up preaching to me are foreigners themselves, like this guy (and there are a lot of americans out there too.) *shrug* But I totally get that that would also be hugely sucky. :-/
