Ok, so there’s a knock at the door.
2 older ladies (twin-set & pearls etc).
One sort of makes her way up the step as if she’s actually going to come inside & is a bit affronted that I stand firm so she has to go back down (or we’d be touching noses!)
I smile, I listen etc & then out comes the flyer about Jehovah etc etc,
So I say, very politely
“Ah! God stuff. Ok, if I may just stop you; I’m an unapologetic atheist, so this really isn’t my thing”
“That’s ok. Don’t apologise. I just hope you find him soon.”
“And I hope you realise it’s all nonsense soon.”
“What?”
“What?”
“Have a lovely day. Byyyye.”
I usually start with 2 Samuel 12:11 and ask them why they think rape is OK. They usually say they don’t think it is OK. So I ask why since their god seems to be totally fine with it and even commands it? They are usually trying to leave by this time as they have never come up with a reasonable answer.
2 Samuel 12:11
“This is what the Lord says: I am making trouble come against you from inside your own family. Before your very eyes I will take your wives away and give them to your friend, and he will have sex with your wives in broad daylight.
