One Man's Ceiling is Another Man's Floor

Opened the mailbox at home yesterday and pulled out an envelope with my name/address typed on the front. No sender's name or address though.

Hmmm... Either a freak or potential life partner.

So I opened it. Of course. And found a few goodies.


A friend from Oldsmar? Come on, some 50-year marriages have started out in weirder ways. He/She also sent some awe-inspiring business cards.



Serious questions for a serious sinner. Perhaps this future lover is familiar with my work?

And several flyers suggest health problems, everyday frustrations,








and farm work are much easier to handle with the Lord on my side. These award-winning tracts are purchased from a God-fearing website that takes most major credit cards.

I've written items over the past year that incur either the wrath of neocons or the warmth of local senior citizens. However, this is the first time I've been given the gift of eternal life.

If you're seriously freaked out, consider: I had no clue my letter appeared in print until Secret Admirer sent this care package. Read it here. The Trib and Times all in the same one-week period. Better than sex!

So anonymous religious fanatics are good for something, I suppose.

When someone sends an anonymous letter, they aren't really that committed to their cause.

Way creepy. Seriously.

Jeff is right.

Also, my guess is that your anonymous religious fanatic has WAY too much time on his/her hands.

That package is such a cop-out. If they were really truly committed to converting the heathen and proselytizing, then they should actually go out and practice it. Sitting at home and mailing packages anonymously is weak. At least have the courage of conviction to sign your own name.

I'd keep it in a plastic bag so the police can dust it for finger prints. Creepier things than this have started innocently enough.

I think.......it's quite flattering........Clarice. If you want to........uncover.....this ellipse-o-fanatic......first, seek your principles. Read.......Marcus Aurelius. Then of each thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? What does she do.......this.......crusading Oldsmarkian?

Your soul is worth more than $0.39.
Could have at least sent it two day air.

"Jesus Freaks out in the streets, handing tickets out for God..."

What really gets me, Kate, about your letter and this responses is that all you did was pose the question what have we accomplished with Religion? Does it question Christianity? Nope. Catholicism? Nope. Islam? Judism? No. All it does is pose a question.

...and this nutcase took it upon him/herself to look up your address and mail you because just the idea that you QUESTION things worried him/her/it.

This is the one drawback of the Internet -- some of those who partake in the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory decide to apply it to reality as well... Which is why we have mroe Stalkers and assholes out there -- they get away with it so they continue it.

LOL I love the one Disappointed in Life? one - cute little ball & chain.

You should sign up for the American Family Assoc emails. You can buy a "It's not Gay" dvd to show in Sunday school - a film with recovering homosexuals... :D
