Kath, my wonderful and insightful partner, has something to tell door-to-door bible bashers.
If someone wandered into the woods and came back proclaiming he’d discovered gold tablets with a whole new gospel on them I’d be doubtful. If he said he was the only one who was allowed to see them I’d be skeptical. If he said they told him he was allowed more than one wife but it didn’t go the other way — only one husband for the ladies — I’d be laughing.
It never ever seems to strike those who go from house to house, attempting to subvert smart people into believing that their God is the “right” God, that we just aren’t that stupid. It’s like George Bush meets Leisure Suit Larry — all the wrong idiots in all the wrong places.
