Great, that's like the next town over from here. You guys made me miss LA for about 2 seconds, damn your eyes.

Next thing you know, those dirty atheists will be promoting their satanic filth on the radio. After that, television ads. Nietzsche quotes in the newspaper classifieds. Tracts taped to payphones about the absence of an afterlife. Just wait until they knock on your door on a Saturday morning and try to convert you to their lack of religion. God bless those folks for taking down a billboard that would be better put to use spreading our Lord's word.

Nietzsche always makes me think of A Fish Called Wanda.

Heh. There's a proselytizing Mormon enclave a block from my house. I frequently meet these dimwitted though earnest young men.

My favourite tactic for disrupting them is the following response. "Now hold on son, I'm going to have to stop you there because I'm the son of a Catholic and a Muslim, and I'm married to a Jew, so we're right full up on denominations here."

Ah, but what happens when they tell you that you should raise your kids Mormon?

Mongrel · « **Reply #165 on:** November 30, 2008, 05:19:42 PM »

Well, I tend to disarm them by 'out-happy-ing' them. So they get kind of flustered and don't know what to do.

I mean, they're all from the Deep American South or rural Korea(!) to begin with, so they ain't none too bright. It's not like this requires a great deal of effort on my part.

My great uncle John used to mess with Jehovah's Witnesses that came to the door.

"So let me get this straight... Ya'll think only one-hundred forty-four thousand will rule over the saved, yes?"

"Yes."

"Nice of you two to blow your own chances by preaching to me."

"Um."

"Have a nice day."

I should probably stay out. I still haven't even seen the flick that started this thread.

Aren't there more than 144,000 Jehovah's Witnesses already?

~~Yeah, but most of them are hypocrites and are actually horrible gay sinners.~~

I guess they don't have very good self confidence.

I do believe it goes that there will be more than that number in heaven, but... Apparently God has a V.I.P. room, and missionaries are either innate underachievers, or want more people to point at and laugh about on the other side of those bright lights.

But my family is generally more garden variety WASP, so some of us dig at those infected with a slightly different kind of mind-virus am i rite

With odds like this, the chances of a Jehovah's Witness member actually making it into heaven are like 1 in 48.

I had an escaped Mormon roommate for a while, and they came around pretty frequently (damn his parents) to see what was up with him. They were always fun.

"Are you Charles ____?"
"Nope."
"Oh. His roommate, then?"
"Nah, I just fuck his girlfriend while he's at work."

That and the "no, I'm his boyfriend" bit always seemed to mortify the shit out of them. Sadly, they eventually stopped coming around.

Sometimes Sharkey, you are upstanding dude.

It's also a tiny thrill to remind Mormons how young of a religion they have and wonder aloud if someday Scientologists will become as respected as they are.

Unfortunately, the LDS are coming back to Illinois in force, so I probably actually know a few of the people I'm heartlessly offending and belittling. It makes me think that maybe I'm a bad person.

I should probably make fun of Doom or someone and feel better about myself.

Hey, why not bone up with a brief history of Mormonism. Well, it's more about Joseph Smith and how he was a con artist, but you know.
