Atheists & Agnostics

several years ago. They said the bit about sharing the good news. Marnie my German Shepherd had come to the door with me. She didn't bark or growl. She just sat in front of me and stared at them.

Then the older of the two, had the nerve to ask,"do you have to have that dog with you?" That ended any inkling of my politely declining. I got snarky. I replied, "yes she lives here, and is not an uninvited and unwelcome guest like the two of you. She also protects me from strangers. The younger started to tug at the older one's sleeve and said "we should go." The older lady looks at me again, told me I was rude and needed Jesus.

I replied you're the rude one. "I don't come to your home, assuming my beliefs are superior to yours. I am Catholic(didn't add the lapsed part) and the New Testament was pretty clear that Jesus didn't want people using their religion to show off and seek admiration from others by acting holier than thou.I don't think he would approve you peddling him like a cheap set of encyclopedias. Now get off my porch." The young one said, "we need to leave now." They did.

Funny our friend lives down the road and he let them in because he didn't want to be rude. When he told us, my sister points at me and said, "you should have called her. She had no problem being rude to them. I am proud of her." I told him he shouldn't let people in like that because they could have been crooks, but he said they just talked to him about religion then left, but he wouldn't do it again.
