In Hounslow High Street every other day there are a group, outside the Church, declaiming the word of god at the tops of their voices. Last week they also had a chilren's choir singing hymns. My pentacle ensures that I am targetted with the information that I am to be destined for Hell unless I change my wicked, sinful ways and give up my worship[ of Satan and accept Christ into my heart and my life.
I walk past trying to ignore this becasse I know that if I repond I am going to be facing a lecture and a string of quotations from the bible. I have had occasions when I have been followed along the street by the preacher and have had to duck into a shop, any shop, to escape.
I am not alone in this experience.
Force feeding? What am I supposed to do? Only shop on the days that they are not there? Find another route to the shops that I want? Take off the emblem of my faith? I remember the furore when a christian was asked to do the same! But that is different, isn't it? Christians have to be allowed to advertise their religion even if no-one else is!
They aren't force feeding... browsing a menu is not the same as eating the food.
You don't even have to look at the menu go via a different route... Change the restaurant if the food not to your liking...
