so i know i may have complained about my boss and his constant talk of atheism earlier this week. but.

the worst mistake i’ve made in the past six months was to talk to jehovah’s witnesses that knocked on my door one morning. i hadn’t seen anyone for two days, i was computer-cranky, and well, hella lonely. i went outside, in my doona. the guy was a weirdo jehovah’s witness, as you expect. i kept telling him, i’m not a firm believer in anything, i’m more of a spiritualist, i don’t really like talking my beliefs with anyone. he wouldn’t leave for around 30 minutes. i was glad when he left. in fact, i think i posted about it.

anyway, we ignore the knocking on the front door at my house, and i was not making any exception tonight. until my dad answered it.

they then asked to see me, aka said my name. i freaked! i asked dad to tell them to go away, but he pushed me as to say “do it yourself, fool”. fair enough, i was dumb enough to talk to the witnesses when lonely.

the guy’s wife started the talking, asking too many questions about where i worked, luckily my brain was in gear and was no more specific than “the city”. then he began he dumb rant about “humans are the only self-conscious species….something something therefore, god”.

you know what. what religious denomination sees it the right thing to do go spruiking the word of their lord to the point of it being harassment? i don’t care about jehovah/jesus/any of your bullshit and the way it turns you into creeps.

if you are going to follow any kind of religion or spirituality, AND I DO THROW ATHEISM IN THERE, DON’T PUSH IT ON ME. I’M OVER IT, i’ll make up my goddamn mind what i think in my own damn time. and at the rate i’m going, it’ll be never.

if those witnesses come to my door again, i’ll probably tell them to shelve their books.

edit: obvi this isn’t coherant. but i’m angry, upset, and more importantly, embarrassed and ashamed to think it would be a funny to talk to these people.
