Mormonism in the rain

Despite the torrential rain, my in-laws decided to take us out to dinner last night. My wife, the kids and I headed out first so they could close up the house and bug spray the place. Despite umbrellas, the rain was causing standing water 4“ deep in places and Michelle and I both managed to step ankle deep in water, soaking our sandals and feel to the bone.

As we struggled in the pouring rain, we came to an intersection and had no choice but to stand waiting. Two foreigners approached me and started to ask if I lived in the area and did I recognize them. Of course, I didn’t and then, just as the light changed, they decided to talk to me about mormonism.

It’s bad enough that the duped followers of a convicted con man (Joseph Smith) want to try to induct more people into their religion, but it’s another thing altogether to be so irritatingly inconsiderate as to try to keep me and my family standing in the rain for even 10 seconds to spread more religious poison in the world. Perhaps it’s better for them they didn’t get the opportunity to discuss my opinion of religion with them…
