For some reason, they like to bring their victims to MacDonalds and work on them with their propaganda. The victims are mostly not very bright, often in bad financial circumstances, having family problems, or otherwise vulnerable. The "pastor" usually reads some bible verse to them, then helpfully interprets it to explain what it really means. At this very moment, I am listening to some guy being told how he is better than his friends because he's right with Jesus, and they're not. He's being encouraged to get closer to God by getting more distant from his friends who drink and smoke pot.

Egg-zackly! Isolate them from their friends and family 1st....


Taking them to McDonald's is enough to make me not convert. With all the money the Christian church has, can we at least go to Ruby Tuesday's?

4. McDonalds would not impress me.

If they want to work on me, they will have to spring for Ruth's Chris or someplace comparable. Not that it would matter, but I would be able to tolerate their bullshit better if they were buying me an expensive steak dinner.

6. Argh.

How can you stand it?

I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut.

7. I'll stick with my friends who drink and smoke.

They're not stupid, gullible or batshit crazy. And they actually exist.
