There is something spectacularly shameless about people who evangelize to strangers, or chat them up asking very forward personal questions and then passing judgement. When preached to, I find it remarkable that people think I will even consider abandoning fundamental aspects of who I am on the basis of their stump speech or that I will integrate their threats about a hereafter as stunningly real. What amuses me on some level their conviction that their witness, their uninvited, invasive witness is either appropriate, persuasive or something other than utterly repellent.

I can usually keep my game face on, the south has worn that very thin.
