door-to-door religion peddlers have been coming to my door with increasing frequency.  today’s lady was especially annoying.

::hands me a small neon green flier advertising a concert:: “Hi, I’m from yadda yadda Christian church & we’re having a–”

“I’m Jewish.”

“Oh!  Me, too!  I accepted Jesus into my heart–”

“Then you’re Christian.  Jews don’t believe in Jesus.”

“Yes we do!  He came to Earth–”

“Have a nice day.”  ::shuts door::

::shouting through the door:: “Jesus died for you, too, you know!”

What the hell?  Are you kidding me?  Believing that Jesus was Christ makes you a Christian.  Believing in the Greek Testament makes you a Christian.  Peddling for a CHRISTIAN CHURCH makes you a Christian.  And not believing in any of those doesn’t mean I’m bound for Hell because Jews don’t believe in Hell, either, so joke’s on you, lady.
