Sure, come on in

The christians here in Prague are really agressive.

Yesterday I was flagged down on the street, in a arms-waving-we-really-need-to-talk fashion, by a German girl who dodged around the point before inviting me to her bible study group.

Today a couple of folks buzzed at the door, dodged around the point, and then asked if I had read the bible. I said I had (it's a half-truth - only the naughty bits), but no, I would not like to speak with them about the bible.

Again, a half-truth, and a minorly ironic one: I'd love to have a conversation with someone about the bible -"What's with all the blood on the alter roundabout?" - "Could maybe, just maybe God have needed a really good editor?" - but who talks with door-to-door God salesmen?
