was this a little naughty
Dec. 28th, 2007 07:17 pmSo I am waiting for my friend to come pick me up, and my bell rings a little early. So I rush around getting my stuff, run down the stairs, and stop short as I look out the door. It's two guys. Just two white guys, dressed normally standing there. I stare out the door, and approach slowly. One waves at me, so I wave back. I'm thinking who the hell are these people? So I answer the door with a trepadacious "Hi". They said can we talk to you? I said Oh I thought you were my friend. But I listen. In no time at all I find out they're from the Church of jesus Christ of latter day saints. In my head I do a little squee of happiness. I finally have people trying to convert me! I have heard so much about this but have never had it happen to me. It was like a sick, twisted dream come true. So I explained that I was on my way out soon (obviously, as I had my coat on and thought they were my friend.) They said, can we come back and talk to you sometime (I scream in my head YAY!) and I gladly accepted. They told me their names, which were weird, but they addressed themselves as "Elder" or something like that. They were no older than thirty. I gave them my phone number and they wrote me down in their book for Sunday.
Why is this so exciting to me? For one, I have never been approached by missionaries before, of any kind. I grew up Catholic and only was mostly exposed to Catholic stuff. Also because, right now in my life, I am the most agnostic I have ever been. I don't know if I believe in god. I am the furthest away from Catholocism or any other religion ever. So I know that I am not going to be magically converted so a very strange religion.
Actually I don't know why I said they could come back. It just sounds cool to have people try to convince me of something that I will never believe. Maybe it's mean of me to waste their time and make them think they are going to magically convert me. But they should know better by now. A young twentysomething woman isn't going to just magically change to mormonism because two random people came to her house and said stuff about it.
Eh, now I feel slightly bad about it. But hey, its some socializing and I get to try out my skills at finding logical fallicies and seeing how good I can hold up against two mormons. I probably will fail miserably and come off as some sort of jerk. But eh, they're mormons. They like every one right? And what am I but some stupid evil athiest who hates all religion.
Whatever.
It should be an interesting experience! And I will have a story to tell!
