Today's encounter with Fayetteville's Conduit to Jee-zus

[jmowreader]

I think I've told you about James Lancaster, Fayetteville's Best Christian.

Today he was passing out tracts at the gas station I went to.

He approached me with this tract that had the word Hell printed on the front in really big, really red letters. I asked him, "Are you James Lancaster?" His face lit up. 'Yes I am!' I told him he probably didn't want to talk to me. "And why's that?" So I told him:

* there's no heaven
* there's no hell
* there's more in the Bible than just smiting and damnation
* faith without works is dead, and passing out hellfire tracts doesn't count as works
* my name's Jim Mowreader
* I've still got the two letters he sent me, and I'm still trying to decipher his handwriting
* George W. Bush is not a good man, he's the Horseman of Famine
* and if I don't go now, I'm going to be late to work so you have a nice day

I think his jaw dislocated.

1. Go read Luke 6:30 and have fun with it

You will see him do more than just dislocate his jaw.

3. Ooooh that's goood! A rabbit punch straight into the hypocrisy gland.

2. Jmow meets Jlancaster!

I'm such a fan of his insane letters to the editor! Not.

How did you know what he looks like?

6. Informed speculation, Hissyspit...

I knew he was about two thousand years old and is really big on the Bible.

So obviously, when the Two Thousand Year Old Man comes up to you with a big stack of tracts that make Chick's most fire & brimstone efforts look lame...well, it's probably James Lancaster.

Oh yeah...there's an All New Chick Tract out, and it sucks really bad:

Guilty!

About the only thing it's guilty of is being a really sorry-ass tract. Even Chick fans won't buy this one.

7. Yeah, I'm a fan, but that one really sucks. Oh, well.

4. He sounds like this guy

"JC" who calls into Art Bell and breathes fire and brimstone. The Boiling Pits of Sewage guy.

5. You were too kind to him....

being an atheist I would have tore him a new asshole. :evilgrin: I think all of the local evangelists (Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses etc.) have put a "secret mark" (supposedly like the hobos did during the depression) outside my house. They never bother me anymore. :) I know more about their bible and religion then they do and that's a powerful tool in combating their superstitious mumbo-jumbo.

I used to ignore them, politely tell them "no thanks", and walk away but they when "christians" started to get more belligerent and "in your face".......so did I. :)

You were right to do what you did. If more people stood up to their superstitious, mythical claptrap the world would be a far better place. Imagine....no George Bush as President. As Bob Boudelang used to say, "arrest my case". ;)

8. ".......so did I."

Glad to hear that.
It's time to end the turn the other cheek bullshit.
After all it is a christian idealology.They sure as hell don't follow it so why should we.
