    I thought i'd tell you my nice little story.


    So me and a friend where just mooching around town and we come across some crazy men in white shirts and blue ties

    handing out gospel passages and shouting about how we should accept god.


    As i'm getting closer to the shouting man (he blocked the entrance to topman)
    i declined a little booklet by saying
    "Sorry i'm satan's son"
    casually.

    He looked a bit shocked and disgusting.
    My friend keeled over laughing...i didn't think it was that funny but he laughed.

    Anyway, I was walking to topman when the shouty man stood infront of me.

    LAID his hands on my shoulders and said
    "DO YOU ACCEPT THE ALMIGHTY GOD?!?!?!?"
    to which i replied.
    "...no:dry:"
    "AnD WHYYYY NOT!"
    I look over my shoulder to see my friend pulling quite a knowing look
    "Becuase, I AM A GHEYYY"

    At this point i linked arms with my friend and we literally skipped into the shop.
    To which the staff applauded and then me and Joe both almost weed laughing.

    The crazy man moved after that.
    We tried to find them but we couldn't

    So we went to the art museum instead.

    :slight_smile:

    Fun day

    Haha, that's awesome. =D And I love that the staff applauded you!

    Wish I had the moxie to do that. I do think fondly of the time I was at the fort worth arts festival, and where two evangelistic preachers had set up and were yelling at people, there was a man in full Scottish regalia, kilt and all, playing bagpipe as loud as he could.

    It was a little surreal. Also, makes me wish I carried bagpipes with me everywhere. =O

    THat actually was quite brilliant on your part! That's actually much more polite, and possibly even more effective than would have been my method...

    I wish i had that happen to me, and then somehow it turned into me getting to kiss a whole bunch of hot men infront of them...

    Or, they dont even need to be there and i just kiss the hot men...

    Mmm, hot men...

    Hahahaha when he touched you, I'd have screamed "ASSAULT!"

    Can't stand the evangelicals you get around Boro. Had a couple of them spring 2008 outside Tesco on Parliament road (yeah, I know, lack of respect for my own health and all that...) who basically started going on about how people are going to hell because they don't believe in Jesus. My reply was "I'm going to spend my summer helping homeless kids. You spend your time harassing people outside Tesco. Who, out of the two of us, is doing 'God's Work' here?"

    You did well. :slight_smile:

    They are quite annoying. I know at my previous university they would come every so often and place themselves like 25 feet between one another. So you would have to walk down the College Ave and every time you passed one they would hold out the Bible to you. My friend is Jewish and she FLIPPED out on the last guy at the end of the block.

    That's a good and funny one they might end up talking about you in church Sunday

    When i was in high school they used to stand by the doors and hand out bibles some kids threw them away or had bible fights threw bibles at each other and rip the pages out.
