Showing Original Post only (View all)Two ladies showed up at my door to tell me the good news today [View all]
Nice enough people, big smiles on their faces.  The good news is that Jesus is coming and he will be king.  I explained that I dont believe in that nonsense and none of their claims hold up to reasonable scrutiny and they said good bye. I replied, Happy Holidays, but the news isnt very good for me.
And that was that and then I thought about it.  How sociopathic are these people? Their faith tells them I am going to be murdered and tortured and to them thats good news because it helps them out.  Imagine if I showed ok at random houses reveling in the imminent murder and torture of the people who answered the door.
