Gideons

Some people make me sick. No, not the Gideons. The ones who make me sick are all of the people who think the Gideons ram religion down their throats.

They were on campus today, passing out New Testaments at each of the buildings. There are a lot of buildings and a lot of Gideons, so I'm sure people are feeling inundated by all of their offers, but still. Why be mean? Outside of my class today, we were talking about it, and this one woman was comparing them to the so-called Evangelists who "preach" outside of Cooper Hall! Now they are cramming it down peoples' throats, screaming and telling everyone they're going to Hell for their sins. The Gideons however are very passive in their approach; they ask you if you want one, holding it out, and if you take it or not, they tell you to have a nice day. I usually take one when they come to campus and politely decline other offers, but I smile and reply to their comments. Why do people have to be so mean?
