Thread Name: BS: There aren't any Gods (not even Jesus)
Subject: RE: BS: There aren't any Gods (not even Jesus)
I've had more than my fair share of encounters with Christian evangelists. Hell, when I was a hospital in Denver for a couple of months, I had a fundamentalist minister as a room mate! If you don't think that wasn't a royal pain in the ass, you have another think coming!
And during the Sixties, when I was packing my guitar around Seattle's University District, a local Bible college sent a horde of students to the U. District to save the souls of us misguided hippies (all folk singers are hippies, of course). I couldn't walk into bookstore or a pizza parlor without getting mugged at the door by some aggressive evangelizer trying to save my soul. I got pretty glib at blowing them off. Had to. Survival mechanism.
I have also encountered more than my fair share of evangelistic atheists.
And I can say this from a wealth of experience: There are damned few people more aggressive and hostile than evangelistic atheists!
That's a fact!
