Fundies outside my daughter's school
Last week, my daughter said a group of fundies was outside her middle school handing out little bibles and making a fuss. She's asked me for responses beyond taking the bibles and throwing them away, which is what she did (in front of the fundies, good girl).

What's that verse that tells Xtians they have to give something that is asked of them? Az uses it a lot.

1. Luke 6:30
6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

3. Thank you, my friend
They haven't reappeared, but she's promised to call me next time she sees them.

5. Expect them to wriggle out of it
Its pretty clear cut but sticking to the word is not their strong point. It should make them uncomfortable though.

6. I warned her about that
She's settled on 20 dollars being the right amount to ask for. After that, their shoes.

2. Matthew 6:5 is good too...
...if they're making a public spectacle of themselves, which they usually are:

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
