When I was a teenager, I was pursued by a mainstream church group--I think they just wanted to be able to use our big ol' house for parties and such. They sent over their youth director. He said he'd heard I was looking around and said, "Are you going to try the Methodists?" and I said maybe and he insulted them. Then he mentioned a couple more groups and he insulted them. Finally, he asked if I'd be trying the Unitarians and he said, "You'd like them, that's the church of the devil."
Okay, I was probably the most innocent kid in my school. AND--my grandmother, a Unitarian, was in the next room. She came out screaming at him, he left in a hurry, and my father was on the phone to the church before their youth director could've even gotten back to the church.
He got in a ton of trouble. How did he think he would recruit me by saying something like that?
