First of all they both were always giving me this creepy smile from cheek to cheek and it was kind of hard to ignore. They asked me why I don't pray and I answered "Because I don't see any personal need to. I put faith in myself rather than putting it in someone that I can't even see". Then they jumped to "What if god was real? Wouldn't you want to pray?". I said "Nope, I don't want to depend on something else for help". Then I just got a bunch of talk about how he already helps me and he just wants my appreciation in return.
Personally I think IF there was a god and that's a big IF, he would see that my appreciation for him would be shown by how I help and support my family, class mates, and friends every day. And honestly, if he/she plays such a small role in our every day life that we need someone else to tell us that he/she exists then maybe he/she doesn't even want our appreciation.
But back to my story these guys lingered for a while and I didn't want to start a fight or turn a bad attitude on these guys so I just kept on saying "it's not for me, sorry". Eventually they left me a card and went to the next door. I threw the card out and I thought "maybe I should've told them I was gay and see how they would've reacted". It would've been a better story if they tried to "cleanse" me. Oh well.
