I was cornered by fundies this morning!!!

[Reverend_Smitty]

I had just rolled out of bed and was on my way to a meeting at 11. I was about 200 yards from my destination when 2 girls come running up to me. They were like hi, introduced themselves and shook my hand. Then they said, "would you mind answering a question" Usually there aren't many fundies on campus so I assumed they were doing a project for a psych class or something, so I said ok. The next thing they said really startled me, they asked..."If you were to die today, do you know for certain that you would go to heaven or hell".

Once I picked my jaw up off the ground, I really didn't know how to respond, so I said "ummmm, I'm late for a meeting...bye" and briskly walked away. I wish I would have been more awake for a snappy comeback, or at least really wasn't late for that meeting so I could have argued for a bit. I figured no matter what I would have said to them, would have gotten me into an argument, so I guess I did the right thing.

But damn that really pissed me off this morning, I don't want any damn fundies invading my campus!!

1. "Your mere presence here already tells me that I

am already in hell."

:D

2. BWA HA HA HA HA!

May I use that in the future?

[kick-ass-bob]

4. it's public domain now!

go for it!

[XanaDUer]

6. I tip my hat to you sir.

Thanks.

I had a carpet-cleaning fundie try to convert me in my apartment.

8. I must be on my game today.

That just popped right in there.

:D

3. Yes, I know. I know I'm not going to Gotham City or Oz when I die, either.

For pretty much the same reason.

5. Hasn't a fundy the right to be a fundy?

:shrug:

I think you handled it perfectly. If they bug you again, tell them their questions on this subject aren't welcome.

10. On my way back from the meeting I saw them about 20 yards away from me...

I quickly made a b-line and took the long way back to my place. I just hope I don't have to do this all the time, it's supposed to rain the rest of the week so that should keep them indoors

7. They're using running attack tactics now? Yikes.

:scared:

[Redstone]

9. "Yes, I'm going to hell, and I like the idea

of being with my friends."

11. Also...

They were standing next to our brand new science building. Not sure if they chose that location purposely or it was just a coincidence. But I didn't want to stick around long enough to find out

12. "I don't see why it is any business of yours

where I end up". Of course, that'll start them salivating about saving you, but really, their god supposedly gave humans free will, it was this god's best gift to mankind, so they can just bugger off and let you be. Are they trying to interfere with god's plan, god's gift? Hmmmmmm?


edited to correct "humnas" where I meant "humans". I kinda like that word, though - "humna". Funny sound to it.

13. Suggestion for the next time

Say something like: "What concerns me more is that YOU seem to be so sure about everything. That is one of the markers of insanity, you know" then walk away.

[phusion]

14. Gawd...

What a rude awakening. Sorry to hear about that...

One time on campus I was accused of being a "sinner" because I'm a male with long hair.

Then I asked the guy "Didn't jesus have long hair?"

"No that's just a myth."

A myth?!

15. Wow. Calvinball religion.

Dismiss any parts that aren't convenient, make shit up at will, ram it down people's throats.

The score is Q to 12.

16. lol

because peasants 2000 years ago visited the barber often!

17. it's never good when someone asks if they can ask you a ?

The correct answer is ALWAYS no. Even if it's your mom. They wouldn't ask if they could ask if it wasn't a violation of your space and privacy.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

18. Tell them "Neither. I'm going to reincarnate as...

...(fill in what you really want to be in your next life)

[Bouncy Ball]

19. You must not have "Campus Crusade for Christ"

I can remember gladly taking their free scoop of ice cream and asking them to tell me all kinds of stuff while licking away at the yummy ice cream. Hey, I was broke and starving. I'd listen to some Jesus talk for a scoop.

[Reverend_Smitty]

21. No but...

one of the Christian organizations goes door to door handing out free cookies during finals week. I don't think the group that confronted me and the cookie group are related because the cookie Christians just hand out the goodies and say enjoy. I rather like the cookie Christians

20. Next time ask if they are interested in a threesome tonight

and in talking theology afterwards. :shrug:

[WoodrowFan]

22. tell them I"m going to heaven..but

I'm not so sure about you."
