I find that very encouraging. I had always thought it was hopeless that such a thing could happen.

I feel sorry for the people in these countries; it probably means that the Evangelicals will target them for 'saving'! Although that said, when Mormons or Witnesses come to my door, if I have time i like to invite them in and shake their faith. It's often funny how remarkably little they know of their own religions.

That's cheered me up!

When my friend Jill moved here from England in the 60s, she could not get over America's obsession with religion (or as she put it "All this crap!" ) I've encouraged both my sons to head for Canada and England
when they're older - free healthcare and freedom from
religious tyranny - what more can you ask for!
AND way to go, Pezter on your little tete a tetes with
the door-to-door religion peddlers! I used to enjoy playing "Stump the Witness" with my weekly visitor when I lived in Pittsburgh. "Why does everyone hate the Jews?" "Why is it wrong to abort a fetus, but okay to deny that child a blood transfusion as a 10-year-old?" She couldn't answer me, and eventually gave up on trying to save my dark and crusty soul.
