I'm thinking about how hilarious conversations with 'phobes can be sometimes, because a friend reminded me of one.
A local right-winger in Orlando once asked me, when I was doing clerical work for an LGBT cause, if I knew what the Bible said about homosexuality. He thought I was ignorant since I was working there. Now, I've gone to church and, um, grown up in America, so I decided to be ignorant for him. When he asked, "Do you know about the cross?", I was like, "Um, something Christians wear, I know, but..."
Everyone around me lost it when he brought up the Book of Romans, and I jotted it down like a title I was going to look for, then asked if it's stocked near the Bible and if Paul was the author's first or last name. :-)
And then I made it into a fundraising letter as "an earnest young woman who didn't even know about the Bible."
Since we have to deal with them, we can at least get a good story, right? So what's yours?
