Fundy asshole annoys the hell out of me in Vegas.

[Deep13]

My wife and I continued our new Christmas tradition this year by spending the holiday in Las Vegas. So Xmas eve we were on Fremont St. looking for loose slots when some Bible thumper decided it was her personal mission to convert us. We made it absolutely plain that we were not interested, thought she was crazy and wished her gone. It was not so much a discussion as her talking at us. I told her the only reason she was talking to us was because we were too fat to run away. I suppose, we should have just went inside a casino to be rid of her or found a cop. My wife found it quite entertaining, dinner and a show, but I wanted to put my fist down her throat. I opted to try to fuck with her head instead. Turned out I was too late for that as the programming was complete.

I know that normal Christians would not like to be judged by assholes like this, but on some level, I just can't help it. Sorry.

1. All you can do

Is walk away. People like that are too far gone to have any kind of reasonable discussion.

3. Yeah, we were trying to walk away. She was following.

Should have just walked into one of the casinos there. I'm sure they would not have let her in.

2. heh

I feel your pain man

I was online playing Bridge last night and usually Bridge players are nice and generally smart folk

Some @sshole ex-Marine (he spent most of his time bragging about being a Marine pilot which is the only reason I mention it) sits down and starts hitting on all the ladies, then when a new lady player sat down and jokingly said she was from the Outer Moons of Saturn he got rude, then ruder, finally accusing her of having "an asshole draft dodger husband"

the lovely Saturian Lady and I finally left and went to another table

:banghead:

4. I wouldn't take online claims

(or other claims) of military service (whatever) too seriously. The world is full of poseurs (that is: liars, exaggerators, etc).

And the usual lingo (self-description) for a formerly-serving Marine is former-Marine. (You're always a Marine; your active-service is former (earlier, previous).)

7. he never said ex I did

he just said Marine

5. Sounds like a job for pepper spray.

6. Didn't have one. We flew in.

Besides, she was not attacking us physically. It would have been hard to claim self defense in spraying her.

Instead I told her that every single child molester I have sent to prison was a devout Christian (which is true). In response to her claim of the necessity to have a personal relationship with God; I told her she was a heretic for not relying on Christ's priests and bishops. When she made an accusation that we were sinners, I angrily demanded to know what offenses she thinks we have committed. Have you ever looked into someones eyes and thought there is just nothing in there? That's how she was. I thought, those are the eyes of a woman who is crazier than an outhouse rat. I think she may have been a Jehovah's Witness, because she spoke of corporeal resurrection and the ascension of a select few into heaven.

She said that Satan was working through me and that it was too bad I was not working for "the Lord." I suppose I would have been a lot more offended by that if it was not for the fact that I gave as good as I got and that I was essentially having a battle of wits with a persistent, but essentially unarmed person. This whole thing occurred while I was trying to take pictures of the neon sign displays of old signs from Vegas past.
