Christian Propaganda
Why is it that Christians, because they feel they have a good message and good intentions, think it's alright to push their propaganda in your face?
Redeemer is having a missions fest this week and there are booths set up all around the front foyer. Yesterday while walking through, a man shoved a piece of paper in my face to read "in case things get boring". My first respose was to not take the paper, with all the pieces of paper i've had shoved in my face in the past i was getting pretty tired of all the propaganda. Then this man proceeded to give me this look like i was this horrible, rude person who had no heart and didn't deserve to be called a Christian. He basicly guilt tripped me into taking his piece of paper, which i later discovered was the same as the paper they gave me last year and probably the year before. I feel disturbed and violated. I want to go back and shove the piece of paper into his face.
Living at Tyndale was the worst. We had mailboxes that were open to the air, so basicly anyone could put something into your mailbox for you. Apperently all kinds of outside Christian institutions felt that this was an invitation to come in and shove, which ever flyers they felt necessary, into our mailboxes until they (and the recycling bins) overflowed. No one likes having their mailbox flooded with flyers, no matter what the content, and it made me angry the way they took advantage of our situation.
