Sorry, I'm Not Paid to Undergo Religious Conversion On The Clock

And here I've been burning money just for the smell.

I'm sorry, I don't know why but this line just about killed me over here.

I should probably go back in and add the fact that he was proselytizing to me.

This should have been the giveaway, though.

In his defense, it was unclear. Saying "I've been brought back to spread the gospel" is very different from "I've been brought back to spread the gospel. Jesus loves you, etc."

Well, most US paper currency does have trace amounts of cocaine on it.

The title of this thread is: Sorry, I'm Not Paid to Undergo Religious Conversion On The Clock. I now have read the original post three times, and have yet to see where the man attempted to convert anyone.

That is false advertising! Get me your manager! I want free stuff!

We had the 'Bus-Pass Elvis Party' at the general election. Their candidate is a member of the Church of Militant Elvis. His policies included allowing men to build a moat around their houses so John Terry can't have an affair with their wives.

All right everybody sing! "Elvis needs boats...Elvis needs boats...Admiral Elvis...Commodore Elvis...":D

My favorite response to "Do you know that Jesus loves you?" is "No, I'm not really Jesus's (hay-soos) type, he's into the short guys, I'm more Hector's type"
Alternatively, if they ask if I've found Jesus, "Yes, and border patrol found him too when I tried coming back"

Seriously, what makes people think that the person who is ringing up your purchase is going to be interested in converting. If I don't know you, I'm keeping my conversation to the weather and road construction... not the state of my eternal soul.
Though, the worst preacher was the regular (who no longer comes to the hotel) who asked me to research a restaurant for him and email him the information (which requires us to use our personal email because no work addresses have been set up for us) just so he could use my email address to find my facebook and spam my wall with links to a bunch of different religious groups and ex-gay therapy groups. Odd how his credit card would never go through on my shift after that

This is why I have a number of "throw-away" email addresses for use with things like Craigslist and other places where I'm not sure of the honesty of the recipient. In a perfect world one would not normally doubt the honesty of a "person of the cloth", but your case proves necessity.

@Smiley: Wait, an ex-gay therapy group? WTF?

@Smiley: Wait, an ex-gay therapy group? WTF?

That's where members of the congregation and the preachers have convinced those of the homosexual persuasion that they are not, in fact, homosexuals. The "therapy" groups then meet on a regular basis to reinforce that fact, often with either bribery of a heavenly afterlife or threats of damnation if they should "relapse". From a psychological standpoint there is absolutely no scientific evidence to support the efficacy of these groups at enabling lasting changes in sexual preferences.

[Sapphire Silk]

If anything, I consider it to be a form of psychological abuse, since there is no scientific foundation for it, and what evidence there is from when homosexuality WAS in the DSM indicates such an approach is ineffective and counterproductive.

Which is, of course, why it is no longer in the DSM.

A way for ex-gays to meet each other and become ex-ex-gays?
