JAYNE WITH A WHY


My life has endured some drastic changes over the past 5yrs. I've moved continents, moved countries, lost my partner in life, lost my dogs, lost the bikes & no doubt about it, lost more than a few marbles along the way. I'm fucked up but valiantly fighting off sanity, which snaps at my heels at regular intervals. I swear a lot. Tell someone who cares.

DEMONS OF STUPIDITY




If there's one thing that really pisses on my battery, it's God Botherers. I find them to be incredibly smarmy, patronising, pushy, self-opinionated, narcissistic & downright fucking irritating.

On Saturday, a pair of God Botherers managed to con their way into our compound. I saw a shiny black 1 Series Beemer parked by the neighbours spot & assumed they'd got visitors. Next thing I know, the shiny Beemer was parked up alongside ours & there was a loud knock on the front door. I opened up to find two young white men wearing false smiles & fine threads.
The greeting was in Afrikaans (Piss Me Off Point No1) so I asked them to please speak English.
"Good morning, we're from the Church of Bollocks blahblahblahblahfishpasteblahblah" which was Piss Me off Point No2.
"I'm an athiest" I say.
"You're an athiest?" they ask & I'm tempted to say "watch my lips" & repeat my declaration.
"I've just come home after a few years in the Middle East. I'm still full of Islam thanks"
"Is your husband home?" they whine.

For crying in a bloody bucket! It's like they have a mission to indoctrinate at least one member per household. They wound his ear off for several minutes, gave him a 'welcome package' & then thankfully buggered off.
I checked out the 'welcome package' to find several trees worth of self-proclamation (in Afrikaans) of how wonderful the minister, his wife & HIS church were, plus a DVD, complete with the 'look how handsome I am' picture on the cover. The whole lot went in the bin.

Yesterday, Hubs got a phone call from the God Botherers,("did you watch my DVD?") asking for a meeting, so that they could 'work on his commitment'. In the real world, the commitment this git is after is a financial one, because who else is going to fund his designer clothes, shoes, shiny 1 Series Beemer & narcissistic DVD. Hubs politely told the oke that he was busy & hung up. Hubs has his beliefs - his own personal religious beliefs - and he is quite happy keeping them to himself. I'm no fan of religion in any way, shape or form. If I believe in anything, it'll be in the form of Mother Nature, but essentially, it is MY belief & it doesn't concern anyone else.

I truly despise these God Botherers. They thrive on sucking victims into their self-proclaimed churches & grow on the wealth of people who can ill-afford to sponsor their flamboyant lifestyles. Now that the bastards know this housing complex exists, I can virtually guarantee we'll be getting more of these loathsome sycophants.

I won't be so polite the next time they knock on my door.
