The Spiritual Journey
Author: Bret Burquest (Blog) Source: The News (AR)
Title: THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY
Man is a religious animal, the only religious animal, and he has many religions at his disposal. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and is tempted to cut his throat if his theology differs. He has spilled vast quantities of blood across the globe while trying to bring heaven to his fellow man.
Every few years, usually on a Saturday morning while I'm still sleeping, a couple of well-groomed strangers will knock on my front door and smile at me in a failed effort to make me feel at ease. Then they'll attempt to hand me some literature while uttering some gibberish about Armageddon and the End of Days and the Rapture.

I usually try to be polite when I turn down the literature and those ubiquitous offers to "join the congregation this Sunday".
When literature is thrust into my hands, I don't raise a fuss, I just look for the nearest trash can where I can throw it unread, usually out of sight of the giver so as not to create a scene.
I do try to be mannerly, when I am confronted by those forced smiles and their ramblings about the joys of christianity and the perils of the christian hell, but my Spirit is my own, and I'll decide where to put the darn thing and under what religious banner.
Frankly, this article does make a good point.

I keep four gargoyles peering out from the corners and dark spots in my front porch to repel the JWs, Mormons, and various religious pests. I used to greet them with a snarling rottweiler and "Hail Satan", but they don't ever come back after seeing the gargoyles. Gargoyles really do keep evil spirits away!
