Yesterday afternoon I had gone grocery shopping. As soon as I had parked my car onto the driveway, I hauled the heavy groceries and started walking up the steps towards the porch. As soon as I had gotten onto the porch I noticed a flyer by my door. I unlocked the door and walked right into the kitchen to put my groceries onto the counter top, and left the door open. Then I ran back over to the porch to pick the flyer up just to see if by chance it was advertising something worthwhile. No it sure was not!!! I just rolled my eyes when I saw it.
Here is a picture I took of the flyer.
I'm so sorry I wasn't home when "those people" were knocking on my door to not only hand me the flyer but to deliver their proselytizing sales pitch!!
Listen, before I say anymore I want to stress that I respect any belief or religion that someone practices. I don't care what you practice. It's your truth and that's what matters. But what I can't stand is anyone regardless of their faith trying to convert me into believing what they do.
Proselytizing is dirty, disrespectful and just plain wrong. I am my own person with my own beliefs and views. Don't try to convert me into something else.
Oh and before I forget I have to tell you a story about what happened several years ago when "those people" knocked on my door and I happened to be home at the time.
I opened up the door and they started with their proselytizing pitch. As soon as they started my sweet, fluffy, docile Bichon Frise transformed into a fur ball from Hell, or I should say Cujo. Take a good look at him here.
Can you picture this guy as Cujo? Well it happened. I've never seen a dog snarl, growl, and baring his teeth at anyone like he did!! I was afraid he was going to take a chunk out of them and that I would end up with a lawsuit on my hands. So how did I get rid of them? I said "I'm so sorry but I have to control my dog". As soon as I was closing the door they had looks of confusion on their faces.
That in itself was confusing. Didn't they notice Cujo wanting to take a bite out of them? I suppose they didn't. By the way my dog kept snarling for 2 minutes even after they left. I had to calm him down. He really sensed an ugly energy around them!!
Anyway again you have your beliefs and I have mine! I respect yours even if I don't agree with it. However what I don't respect is anyone trying to convert me into someone believing in something that I don't and never will. And I know I am not the only one who feels this way!
