A new take on Holy wars...

In a reply to this Catmacros post, tn_sehlat shares experience...

One time I sent some [Jehova's Witnesses] to the apartment of Mormon missionaries. It was all I could do not to pull out popcorn and a folding chair to watch the show.

Context knows how to deal with religious solicitors.

We had a guy at work who was a real hardcore Jesus-a-holic. He claims to have a Masters in Theology, though why he's then working at a crummy factory, I don't know. Everything was Jesus this, Glory of God that, etc. etc. Then one of the techs came by, and heard him, and decided to try to turn him into a Witness.

It was a spectacular battle that lasted almost an hour after the tech was done his work on the machine.

Heh. Stryper used to toss Bibles into the audience during concerts. Oy.

That had to create some beautiful bruises...

"Hey MA! I went to a Christian rock concert and got this Gorgeous Black EYE!!!"

I would have loved to see that!

In one of my non-LJ blogs, I said I wanted to throw in a room several leaders of churches that taught that they were the only true church and let them fight it out. Of course, there'd be popcorn for the spectators.

You must be great fun at parties. *grin*

I'm studying to be a pastor, mainline Protestant. Which means I'm learning Greek and Hebrew and all kinds of theology.

Is it bad that I'm really looking forward to when these folks show up at my door, so I can sit them down in my library for a couple hours?

My dad invited Mormons in when he was a young theology student, and took notes while they talked. Learning from him, I did the same thing about six years ago, and it was kind of fun - they talked about their thing, I showed them my breviary, and so on. Never did get around to reading the book of Mormon, though, it was PAINFULLY boring.

(Am a lapsed high-church Lutheran. Dad's a retired professor in studies of Islam and also a Lutheran minister. So I'm used to seeing religions as Interesting Things.)

That's brilliant.
