So I've got two nice old ladies knocking on my door trying to push god and their church on me. NORMALLY I would be like yeah fuck off, HOWEVER, with the recent rise of pussy hat wearing SJW psychos, all of a sudden I have a new found respect for the Christian / Catholic church and their values. Say what you will about them but most of them seem pretty fucking normal compared to some of the crazy that's out there now.
So I guess my question is what would they want from me? Why do churches actively seek out followers? I'm guessing they're going to want money and donations - which I don't really want to give. Also they probably would want me to go to church and listen to boring ass sermons every Sunday, which I'm also not really into. Other church stuff like getting in touch with the community and some other church programs I might actually like though.
Here's one kick to the nuts on my atheism though, every time I've been really REALLY down and out, I've asked and prayed for help and after awhile it seems to have always helped. You could reason it or make sense of it logically pretty easy but I feel like its helped me and made me more open to the idea of trying out a church. I don't give a fuck what you think about that part though.

The little old women are looking to get into heaven. They would probably even buy you lunch to get the opportunity to convert you. It's called witnessing which is pushed very hard in the church. They tell you about Christ and they have done their duty as Christians. Most of them old buybull thumpers really have drank the Kool-Aid. If they can't save you, They will move on to the next dying soul. They have good intentions although somewhat misguided , still good intentions. You don't have to be a good person in their eyes, even murderers can get into heaven as long as they believe in Jesus. Just tell them you are pals with Jesus and they will leave you alone. Work in a couple buybull verses and you are golden. You don't have to believe it . Pascals wager is good enough for me.
