Ah, gotcha. :p
I wish I could remember where I first saw that. Probably on the Internet somewhere, if that narrows it down.
Oh yeah - I thought about it. Seriously. I'll just keep the gun and bullets, but not take the suggestion itself.

You should take one, then drop it in the nearest trash can, preferrably in plain view of the people who gave it to you.

Nah tell them that you would like them all to give them to all your buddies, Then once you have a few dump them in the trash and make sure they are unsalvagable.

As long as you're willing to spread the loving message and priceless guidance, be my guest. :D

you obviously have never met one of those guys/gals or are one yourself because a simple no thanks never works, those missionary types are worse then car salesmen, they wont leave you alone and if your lucky enough to get one of the good ones they will tell you how god is going to send you and your family to firey pits of hell for enternal damnation.

i guess i haven't come across the really pushy ones. a few days ago someone tried to hand one to me. i started to take it (not knowing what it was at first) and then just pushed it back saying, "no thanks".

being pushy and following you around is definitely going to cause a negative effect.

They used to do that at my campus, too. Eventually I put them all in my roommates desk (who is an atheist). There were ~20 of them

why do u people ALWAYS feel so compelled to include other in your belief system? what, were you jealous that your roomate was more intelligent than you? did you envy his ability to think for himself?! so what if he is an atheist? what if I wrote 666 all over your stuff? how would you feel?

Settle down, dumbass. You're making the rest of us look bad.

He wasn't chosen to receive the bible-dump because he was an atheist - it just happened to be a coincidence.

I'm sure his roommate thoroughly enjoyed the Great Gift of Toilet Paper.

I'm an agnostic. My belief system is pretty much defined as having no beliefs. And your ranting skills suck.

Also, unlike you, my roommate knows how to take a joke... he laughed for a good 45 seconds when he saw it.

Nope. You obviously arent familar with the little green new testament bibles that get handed out on campuses. The paper is too thin to use as TP in "single ply", and if you tried using 2+ sheets at once, its too slick and you'd just end up with crap on your fingers (although some here in ATOT my argue that "crap on your fingers" is exactly what you started with).

BTW, the above is the voice of experience talking... not my experience, but a guy down the hall tried it, and I'm willing to take him at his word.

after the firrst, show the others that you already have them. then if it bothers you that much, simply leave it somewhere on your way home.
