Why, at 10:30 on a Saturday morning would I want to answer my door to a stranger and talk to him about religion? This morning, around that time the doorbell rings, I didn’t answer it but stuff through the letterbox was a leaflet entitled ‘Would you like to know more about the bible?’, with a wonderful picture of a riveting bible reading on the front (see below).

I don’t have a problem with religion in itself, if someone wants to believe in it that’s fine just don’t knock on my door on a Saturday morning trying to push your beliefs upon me. If I wated to read the bible I would read the bible. I don’t need to pestered into it with ridiculous leaflets telling me how great it is.

I’ve just noticed on the back there is an ‘Invitation to Learn’. They want to arrange bible studies. Woo. There’s also a section you can fill out to receive a bible in a language of your choice. I was going to get this in some bizarre language so as implement a monetary punishment on them for knocking at my door, but I don’t think I can… the address they give is Newcastle, Greystones. Newcastle is a town beside Greystones, maybe anyone in this town can arrange my bible. Doubt it though.

edit: I just realised that this picture would look great on a T-Shirt!
