I finally got her to leave me alone by taking her around to the Koreans on the car and telling her that Korean people need to be saved, too. She didn't want to talk to the other Koreans for some reason, though.
You know, I'm all for religion, if that's your thing. But if I say "no thank you" I expect it to end there. You do your thing, I do mine, and happiness will reign.

Sounds familiar.
The evangelists who spend their time bothering people in public places are really doing their cause a dis-service. It puts me off the idea of religion every time it happens. Although it would take some kind of powerful hypnotism to ever make me join a church as an devout agnostic for 20 years.
If the christian-converter-gangs really wanted to have some success then they would open a cool cafe or something and have those interested come in and ask.
Or even better, be really secretive about the whole thing. Get people intrigued. Like it's some exclusive thing.
"So what's this Christianity thing all about then?"
"Oh, you don't want to know. Let's talk about something else..."
"No, really. Tell me!!" |

The solution to your little problem is simple.
You technical guys always overlook the obvious. I think I'm gonna start contributing in the technical forum to show all you fools where its at.
If you don't want people calling you in the middle of your movie, just turn your phone off! Then you can just sit back and enjoy your mov..........
Oh wait |

Excellent!!
By the way, has any of those religious freaks ever forced their way into your home? One pushed past me and came into the apartment, even after I said politely 'Kwenchanayo, no thank you, no thank you, Pillyo-obsoyo...'
It was a gentle (well, not so gentle, really) grab of the arm, and escort out of my place, followed by a soft (again, not really) closing of my front door, followed by 'Way-yo? You not nice-uh!'
Sheesh! |
