I can't help but think that their type is as least as common, if not moreso, than the non-craxy types.
I tend to think this too, but I have to take into account that I am always surprised when I find out that people* are religious. Always. The inside of my head is atheonormative**, no matter what the world is actually like.
* For values of people not wearing tefillin or a habit or otherwise obvious religious indicators.
** Which I hereby claim to be a real word. Someone else use it in a sentence and email it to erinaceous!
Depending on how it's done, I don't really get skeeved if someone tries to proselytize me on the metro or on the street. I mean, they figure they're getting points like on the Serenity board. Religion
is
the world's oldest fandom. Can't blame them for trying to share the love.
As long as they understand and respect what "not interested" means.
atheonormative**
The word atheonormative R0X0R5!
There are reports that everyone on the plane survived, but they're not confirmed. They are talking to suvivors on the news. From their reports, it seems the plane landed okay, but then couldn't brake.
So lovely it hurts.
Very nice. You want I should pray reallly hard that the price will go down?
ION, I look like half a chipmunk. If I weren't me, I'd be laughing at myself by now.
I mean, they figure they're getting points like on the Serenity board.
Oddly, I have 690 points suddenly, for no apparent reason. I should have 400,396,152,698, but you know, I'm not complaining.
Wait, yeah. I'm complaining.

That would get you, what, a key chain?

What a neat way to look at it.

I dunno. I think I have a higher "personal" threshold than you do. Asking someone "Have you accepted Jesus into your heart?" is not only a veiled accusation (i.e. they're asking because they bet you haven't), it's about as rude as asking, "Are you wearing clean underpants?"
Now, I will talk plenty about my underpants with people I know. You folks, for example. I will not talk about my underpants with some random dude on the Pike Overpass who is wearing a t-shirt with "Jesus or HELL!!!" written on it. (This guy really exists, and has lots of homemade signs. I see him regularly, enough to distinguish him from the guy who does flowchart-improv about Jesus and the scary scary woman who is anti-fur.)
Even if I am wearing clean underpants (generally, I am), dude got no right to ask me about them. My immaculate underpants are for me to share with the people who matter to me, and not for the inspection of any old freak who asks.
