So I'm Grabbing Some Cheese At The Grocery Store...

64. Wow, so much misdirected rage at the OP.

I, too, dislike it immensely when someone assumes I want anything to do with their religion, which, IMO, this "blessing" comes down to--proselytizing.

I've found it amusing to have a verse or two on hand to toss back at these people. (SkepticsAnnotatedBible.com will come in handy here.) For example, "Oh, Micah 1:8's on the calendar today!" The fundie or otherwise ignorant individual will think, "Isn't that sweet!" and go on with her day. In the unlikely event she asks for an explanation, tell her to look it up. Most likely, she will forget or not care enough to write it down, much less look it up, as she's probably most interested in appearing pious, rather than actually giving a shit about another person in the world.

And in the event she does look it up, she can have a good laugh or curse me (as if I care), as the verse reads:

"Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls." (Micah 1:8)

Does this make me a bad person? Should I care?

No and NO. These outwardly pious types would kill to be next to let me know I'm headed straight to hell, for being a librul, unchurched (trust me, I had enough to last several lifetimes), demoncrat, homo-sekshul. They've decided it's not enough for their hate-filled "god" to punish me after death; they want to make sure life on Earth is hell for us, too. Ska-rooo them.
