Episode 2 of the 'discourse' arrived last night, 'Mr. Jesus Jockey' arrived at my door about 7.30pm with his copy of the Goat-herders Guide to the Galaxy in hand and 10, yes that's TEN, sheets of paper filled with hand-written response ( copied bible verses, etc,) in a somewhat vain effort to rebuke/rebut my comments from episode 1.
I told him to come in to my house, sit in my Lounge room where it is warm with my wood heater going and we'd begin the 'discourse' once again.
His first action was to tell me that he intended to pray and ask both God and Jesus to show me the error of my ways by ACTUALLY showing themselves to us both.
Well, that went EXACTLY as I expected, i.e. NOTHING at all occurred except the sound of the fire crackling and complete silence for approx. 15 minutes.
So being both a decent and kind person I offered him the use of my phone ( with a wee hint of sarcasm mind you) so that he MAY 'contact' them direct IF he knew the phone number to dial.
Oops, I think I upset him once again with my offer though I'm certain the sarcasm missed him completely as it always does, he got up, collected his beloved bible, tossed his 10 pages of bible verses across the room, then stormed out, leaving the door wide open whilst muttering somewhat loudly that God and Jesus had betrayed him by not answering his request.
Rather than soil a fairly decent evening, I picked up his 10 pages, stapled them together and later placed in his mailbox after a short walk to it. He'll find them later today when he checks to see if he has gotten any mail.
It would appear that the Great and Mighty Creator of all things ad his Water-walking son are NOT all that interested in helping save the soul of one single Heathen after all, doesn't it?
