I had an encounter with an evangelical today.

He was in the line behind me at the grocery store and he only had a few items, so I was all " you can go ahead of me, I have nothing to do today". He refused and said if I had nothing to do, I should be at church.
I said," No I shouldn't, I'm an atheist I might deconvert somebody" and started laughing. His eyes got hella big and he said, " but you're black!"
I told him I had noticed that and that was one of my reasons. The slave masters religion was not for me.
He reminded me that Jesus died for all of our sins.
I told him Jesus never existed.
He told me that former atheists make the best Christians.
I told him they were never atheists.
He asked for proof that Jesus never existed.
I asked for proof that he did.
He said the Bible.
Everybody in line started laughing and sighing.
He gave me a pamphlet.
I paid and left the store. He followed me and begged me to receive The Lord as my savior so ill get to go to heaven. He seemed angry.
I informed him that I didn't want to go there as its where all the bad people and serial killers, and bankers and politicians are going to be.
I finally drove off but I wasn't laughing anymore. I hate high pressure sales tactics and it makes me sick to my stomach. I was most irritated by the idea that you can tell somebody what they should believe and follow them when they disagree. I glad he didn't have a gun, he was so irritated he might have stood his ground.
I'd like to know who put the word out that all black people are Christian. We're not. Really.
I can't sing either.
It was a bizarre experience and I'm glad most Christian have common sense and tact.


P.S. Found that very same pamphlet in my door twice this week. Weird. My neighbors didn't get the pamphlets. It was the watchtower society.
