Reply #27: They knock on our door a lot here in Ark.

[The Flaming Red Head]

We had a fundamentalist knock on our door a few weeks back. I’m not nice and I don’t like being disturbed in my home by idiots, so the first thing I ask them is who they voted for and then they get my burning-bush-anti-war lecture. The last time (I live in Arkansas so it happens a lot) this took place the girl who knocked was in her early 20s and my 17 year old son thought she was hot. So he ran outside and let her read the bible to him on the front porch while he stared at her breast, anyway she finally left. I laughed at him and he “well Mom she was good looking” (she didn’t have on a wedding ring and looked young)

The next morning was Sunday and about 8am, which is early for us, someone banged on my door really hard (like a police knock) Bam, Bam, Bam. There was a thin man outside in a suit and I asked what he wanted and he said he came to bring my son to church and that he was the husband of the ‘HOT’ girl from the day before. I told him my son was sleeping because he was out late on Saturday night with his friends. The man demanded that I wake him for church. So yelled to the next room “Hey the husband of the lady is here and he wants to bring you to church. Do you want to go?” He yelled back. “I don’t want to go to church with anyone’s husband.” and went back to sleep.

The gentleman stood there for a minute looking at me as though I were some kind of witch from Hell for not forcing my son to go to church. And I said “you see that John Kerry sign in my yard? That’s who I voted for and I am a Christian, but I disapprove of you and your church and your politics( he represented a very conservative church in our area) so you needn’t look at me like that.” He turned away disgusted and I haven’t heard from them since.
