Comments on: Jesus Is My Bro http://www.prosaicshadesofgray.com/2007/07/19/jesus-is-my-bro/ The internet is a huge bathroom wall, and any halfwit with a keyboard and a connection has an opportunity to scrawl on it. Take me, for instance. My name is KZ. For a good time, come find me at Prosaic Shades of Gray.

People who typically act in such a manner are what you would call "born-again Christians", people who were never religious until some time in their adult age, after which they are on a mission to "save" every person they come into contact with. I could not help but sigh in exasperation when I was at my grandparents' house one time, and I asked my uncle (their youngest son) to pass the potatoes during dinner, to which he asked, "Have you been saved?" I replied with, "I am Catholic, so I would assume so." "Well, if you're not Christian, you're going to Hell." Never in my life have I wondered how many people I could convert, because frankly, I do not give a damn. There is no divine reward waiting for me, based on an "unwritten tally" of how many people I have converted. All it would do is make people think that I am an asshole. So, Amen to this entry, KZ...AMEN! :D I actually have some relatives who are exactly the same way.
