Two ladies showed up at my door to tell me the good news today [View all]

Nice enough people, big smiles on their faces. The good news is that “Jesus is coming and he will be king.” I explained that I don’t believe in that nonsense and none of their claims hold up to reasonable scrutiny and they said good bye. I replied, “Happy Holidays, but the news isn’t very good for me.”

And that was that and then I thought about it. How sociopathic are these people? Their faith tells them I am going to be murdered and tortured and to them that’s good news because it helps them out. Imagine if I showed ok at random houses reveling in the imminent murder and torture of the people who answered the door.
