      There's this lady who comes buy where I work and every so often will give me one of those post-it note size Jesus comic books. Sometimes, she'll come back the next day and try and give me a reading quiz of sorts. She's yet to ask me to pray the "Jesus prayer", though.

        As a public service whenever I find religious pamphlets of any sort, I either

        A) Throw them away
        B) Rip, them up, THEN do A

          Oh, so SHE'S the one who is littering the whole world with Chick Tracts?

          We used to find them all over the floor at the Fantastically Awesome Old toy store and would read them for amusement in the break room.

            Please don't get me started on that Chick stuff. I would start off so deep in fratching territory I may never find my way back.

              I've always wanted to ask people who talk about 'curing homosexuality' if that means that heterosexuality can be cured. Seeing as I would not want somebody to try to 'cure' me of heterosexuality..I sure hope not. Just seems logical that if one type of sexuality can be 'cured' then the others could be..right?

              Chick tracts? The only tracts I know are related to hair weave.

                  Just to clarify, I am a male, even if I prefer to not let such labels define me . A pink wearing, unicorn collecting, knows nothing about vehicles straight male .

                    Chick tracts?
                    Chick Tracts are used for proselytizing Jack Chick's view of the cosmos. He has so much misinformation in them that they are frequently very funny. And some are just sad. One of my favorites is Dark Dungeons, which tells of the "dangers" of fantasy role playing.

                          If anyone were to ever proselytize to me, I'd probably respond with, "Pie jesu domine dona eis requiem," just to see their reaction.

                          ...unless I'm being proselytized by my half-elf cleric from D&D, since the alternative is generally death (or a number of other calamities from a word of chaos spell).

                            My husband's response is to start talking theology, and discussing why they feel that this is the best way to present their faith. Do they feel that they're likely to have a lot of good, aren't they worried about pestering people and turning them off, etc? He made us miss a bus that way once... (he didn't realise we were pressed for time). Come to think of it, we never did look up the verse they quoted in a good translation... (they were good, they gave context when they looked it up for us, but I'm not about to trust the Bible they're carrying, I've seen some scary translations).

                            Edit: To clarify: not that I'm assuming they must be carrying one of the odd translations which goes against current scholarly convention, just that when I'm not familiar with a specific translation I'm very leery when it's used to justify a position.

                                Don't mind me, I'm just marking where not to go...once my novel about Satan's personal assistant hits the markets, I'll have these religious proselytizers beating my door down.
                                Ok, now I'm super excited to read this book! Hurry up an finish! (seems appropriate).
