I just completely confused a fundie!
Just a moment ago there was a knock on my door. Two young women are there from the Hammond Baptist Church and they are inordinately concerned about where I'm going to go when I die. Here's where I short circuited their mental process.

"Do you know for sure you're going to heaven when you die?"

"Yes. Without a doubt."

"How do you know?"

"I have a coupon."

I watched all thought drain out of her head and she stared at me like a confused Irish Setter.

I went back inside and shut the door.

7. Did I steal this?
I do that sometimes, without really knowing.

If I did, let me know. I have to know.

6. NICE response.
Lately I have been stating I am working on being my OWN Christ instead of following somebody elses. I am not much of a joiner anyway.

16. You should actually print one up!
Show it to them, and ask why they don't have theirs.

20. He really did say this to the poor girls
It was sort of my fault. I was the one who told him there was somebody at the door and to go see who it was. She didn't look like a bible thumper from the upstairs window, I swear! My fundie-dar must really be on the fritz. :-(

Of course, this isn't the first time he's done this to religious canvassers. He has a long and rich history of messing with their heads when they try to convert him, the little devil. }(

32. Wow, you know -- that's brilliant.
My aunt used to invite the Jehova's Witnesses into her kitchen and read the bible to them. I don't think she was particularly devout, but by golly she knew the bible well enough to baffle a JW, and she got an enormous charge out of making them all wobbly. She'd usually pour herself a cup of coffee, light up a Kent and start flipping through the bible like she was a Master of Divinity.

I like it, but there's no way I could deliver it without laughing. Congrats -- that's one of the better ones I've heard in a while.
