OK...now first of all

his tact was very off. i'm a christian but i don't talk about it with people unless i know them really well. course i hope i don't offend anyone here either but he sounds like a JW.

Somehow I got the impression that ol' MMAB lives round my neck of the woods and if that is the case, I'll bet you dollars to Davidoffs his new buddy is a Baptist. Lots of them in Texas. Fine, friendly people most of them but they sure like to "witness."

I didn't realize, before I moved first to America, and then to the South, that the word "Christian" covers a lot of territory. My experience has been that Christians tend to believe a lot of the same things, but those beliefs can be expressed in very different ways.

I have met many, many intelligent, open-minded, tolerant people who identify themselves as Christians. In fact, I would say that some of my best friends are Christians... But in every barrel, there's bound to be a few bad apples. I'm looking at you, Pat Robertson. And then, of course, there are these lovely people. How a religion which puts such emphasis on love and forgiveness could attract people so filled with hate is mystifying.

I'm reminded of my first experience with Mormons. I was 17, taking a leak at work minding my own business, and here comes this guy who occupies the urinal next to mine. Then he asks me if he could witness to me about the Mormon church. While my dick is still in my hand. I tucked it an and ran, washed my hands in the sink in the janitors closet.

Then after I moved to Japan, I got hit up 2-3 times by Mormons who were out proselytizing, knocked on my door, and then when they got over the shock of seeing a fellow gaijin in rural Japan would start in on me. I told them to get their weirdo asses of my porch.
