Default Why we can't have good things

I guess we must have led a very sheltered life despite having lived in

approached once by pushy, religious representatives trying to recruit

or convert and that was in Zion, IL, back in 1972. The

"conversation" lasted about 10 seconds and has never happened since.


Those are my experiences as well. I've lived all my life in the "Bible Belt" in rural, "semi-rural" and urban settings, and can count on one hand the times that someone has actually come to my door or approached me promoting any religion. Almost every time it's happened they've been Mormons, and they are polite and leave after I tell them I'm not interested.

Maybe some people just attract this type of thing? They look for those that need it most, you know... :-)
