Articles: THIS MEANS WAR! ^*^ |

I live in an abomination known as an apartment complex. In the five mile stretch of road I live on there are four...count them on your toes...FOUR! Churches existing....there is the ukranian fellowship/settlement a mile away, a protestant church down the street from that, one on the other end, and now, there is a HUGE concrete monument being constructed to draw more cowed souls to the latest "our lord of ridiculous expenditures" chapel by a grocerystore! It's HUGE...and government funded no doubt like the rest of 'em.
Plus, there are these crazy mormon missionary boys living across the parking lot from us. Mind you, the are right by the main drive, next to the office building, and you have to drive by their sliding glass door to go home. They for the longest time had a big picture of Jeezus facing out for all to see, whether we like it or not, on the glass door. Oh what a hellish sight to have to see when driving home after a long day of retail whoring.....I hated it.
Okay, time to get even. So, since they have to use the laundry room which is located right across the hall from our door, we hung a clip from a seventh day adventist comic about sinners and hell depicting a satanic mass and the king morbid himself in all his goat glory presiding over his hell bound followers. It was funny. It was retaliation.
The next morning, my fiance heard banging on the door. He figured it was his sister wanting to drop her kids off, so stayed in bed. The pounding stopped, he slept.....later he went outside and saw a bunch of pictures of the slaughtered lamb of god and bible snipets pasted all over his front door around and on the satanic cartoon. We pondered several options....
1) take it to the office and complain about being harassed
2)draw devil horns and buck teeth on christ and put the pics back up..starting a country home apartment complex religious war.
3)put up more cartoons and see what happens
well, to those of you who know me, I can't pass up an opportunity to cause trouble, so I drew horns, buck teeth, chest hair and a unibrow on jeezus and next to where they wrote "john 3:16" I added "means I just whooped your ass! Cause the late JC SAYS SO!"
(okay shut up, I know I'm a hick. You can take a girl out of the sticks....)
needless to say they then stole BOTH comics and have yet to retaliate....
I smell blood...I smell fear....I smell bike tires coming my way......
the war is on.....feel free to chime in with ideas or tell me how shamful I am. I'm a bad girl. I just can't help it!

I vote for option 6. (1+2+3)
You're gonna have to keep us up to date on how this progresses. Not too often we get to witness a holy war these days without missiles and tanks that keep you at a safe distance.

I'm not going to tell you how shameful you are. My family attended a Mormon church for a while, so I know how pushy they can be. But try to keep in mind that these people really believe that they are saving the world from itself. They believe that God has given them a sacred calling to turn everyone into Mormons. When you retaliate with provocative comics and stuff like that, it only validates their opinion that the world is evil and in need of their help. This only strengthens their resolve to convert everyone within biking range.
You may not also realize that Mormon men HAVE to go on these missions. It's a church requirement. To not go means to risk excommunication, and the loss of family, friends and the only community they know. So they have to believe that what they are doing is a good and wonderful thing. Try to understand them in that regard.
By the way, church construction isn't government funded. The churches don't pay any income tax on money they collect, either from donations or fund-raising campaigns, but they have to raise the cash themselves to build the things.

I can always count on C for defense..
anyway, on the same tangent....
I have no problem with religious persons. My best friend is an xian and I've known about five mormons in my life, all of them friends. I know about mormonism, I know about the missions, I've had the sanctified underpants story etc. I'm not IGNORANT to religion. I know about religion. The point is, I don't feel sorry for spiritual/life decisions. They go because they want to. Period. They do what they do because they want to. Period. Granted, going along with the family makes things slide easier and makes thanksgiving a lot more enjoyable than not, but if they are doing it out of guilt or to please others and not for themselves, then they are living a lie...I don't feel sorry for people who choose to live a lie.
What my problem IS....as you OBVIOUSLY missed it, DEAR, is this propaganda crap that I have crammed down my throat. They aren't even legally allowed to canvas the apartement tennents....it said so in the lease....for anything...candy, magazines, religion. I have a problem with some jackass having NO problem making jeezus visible to all in a sort of "F*you" manner messing with my message of the glory of anton....that is if I took the cartoon seriously. I left THEIR retarded picture alone...didn't even complain to the complex to get it taken down. They DIDN'T leave MY retarded picture alone. Took it upon themselves to do a little meddling with god in mind. It's okay if it's the work of jeezus. B.S.! For all they knew, someone ELSE could have put that up to make us feel bad, and they jumped on the assumption that the wierdo's in #13 (such an opportune apartment assignment, no?) were trying to turn everyone into devil worshippers and would put a stop to it with snippets of christ.
I'm shameful for a little passive retaliation to make things equal around here....I sense a double standard. Like girls that demand equality, but expect a man to open doors and treat them like a princess. All the power, none of the responsibility. How opportune for the away team. But you won't find ME passing propaganda around and waking people out of sleep because I've got an "important" message to spread that can't possibly wait until 12:00. Before hand I found our game a little amusing...but I have to say you have me pissy. Good job. Keep at it. I like it.
oh, and i'm not shameful....you aren't my mother, and you got it backwards.
It's SHAMELESS. the only way I've every been.

i agree. provoking fights never solves anything and it dosen't really make you feel better. i'm not a christian, but i think the more you do stuff like that, the more determined they get.

Ouch...violently mixed opinions on this one. On one hand, I applaud your passive aggression...the weaponry of the wise and long-lived. I would have just set something on fire...I can be barbaric like that. But on the other palsied hand...that faith, that horrible faith spawned many of the things I hold precious and dear...the art of the faithful, their perserverance...bloodied as it is by their tendency, as that of all humans to judge... kind of makes my head hurt. Still, no one ever claimed the life of the faithful to be easy, give them a challenge to overcome, something to throw themselves at in the name of their god...without violence. Lest the lambs of the lord grow restless and seek out a threat on their own. A wise action...one with a hidden depth, I think...maybe I'm just being delusional...but dang your clever.
Keep up the good works...and godspeed.
