MAKES ME WANNA HOLLA:"Spreading the Word of God or Just Plain Littering?"
Before I piss off any of the born again Christians or religious extremenists, let me explain that I currently and have always believed in God and all that he's taught us as his children. I believe that there is a Heaven and Hell just as there is an Earth. But I don't believe in forcing others to read or believe what I believe by leaving pamphlets around in a public building or on public transportation.
I work for the state transit system in California. The major duty of my position is fueling the buses so that they can return to the streets and pick up waiting passengers at the bus stops around the assigned area. Part of that procedure is vacuuming the buses as it is being fueled. Basically, a large vacuum is attached to the front entrance of the buses and I would enter the rear entrance with a blow wand which is used to blow all of the debris to the front of the buses. Hence, causing it to go into the vacuum and get shredded into hundreds of pieces before being transferred into a recycling storage container.
Over the weekend, I entered a bus and proceeded to "blow out" the debris. Throughout the entire rear of the bus, on the floor, on every seat, and in back of side facing seats were these pamphlets that had biblical verses and stories in them. I couldn't believe it. Christian crap littered all through the rear of the bus by someone who's obviously ignorant to the fact that they committed a crime and may have been videotaped in the process. If they only knew the enjoyment that I had to blow it all to the front door and watch them all get vacuumed into the shredder.
Am I being rude by calling it "Christian Crap"? Maybe. But face it, when we want someone to know or learn something that we know or believe, it's best that we tell them with our own mouth, right? When you leave such items on public transportation, restaurants, on the shelves of stores and groceries, IT'S LITTERING and it's a crime. In the state of California, it's a huge fine. I think in Louisiana, it's a $250 fine. Maybe more. Is $250 worth forcing others to read your beliefs?
