Do I look confused to you?
I stopped at the market on my way home from work last night. When I got behind the wheel to go home I noticed someone had left a flyer on my windshield.

"Confused? Looking for Answers? Wondering about the meaning of life?......"

It was a flyer inviting me to attend church services and find Christ.

Now, I have to confess that the rear of my car is a cornucopia of bumperstickers "George W. Bush for EX-President 2004" and "Somewhere in Texas a Village is Missing Its Idiot" but also "Wage Peace" and "WWJB" (Who Would Jesus Bomb) and "Blessed are the Peacemakers".

I looked around to the other cars in the lot, and none of them had the flyer.

What do you think made someone think that I needed to be saved? What made them think that I was confused?

1. You Were Being Singled-Out...
That would freak me out too.

2. The religious wingnut saw those bumperstickers
and remembered, "if yer not with us, yer agin' us." I have no doubt your license plate number was called in to john asscroft* and you will soon be headed for Gitmo! Stay off of small planes and avoid backroads!

3. Clearly, Millie, you are a heathen.
Your opposition to God's own simian mouthpiece proves it. But this was an act of compassion, not a threat. Merely an attempt to save you from your wretched misconceptions about the world.

:P

4. Ick. I know how you feel.
I once posted an eBay auction to sell a collection of full-size Jack Chick comics. My description of Chick's theology was less than reverent, and as a result I received several e-mails from eBayers offering to discuss religion and who said they would be praying for my soul. I did not respond. Anybody who would defend Chick's point of view is nobody I want to "discuss" religion with.
