So now you're talking to yourself?
You are proselytizing. Obviously. I lived through the fracking Jesus Freak Movement of such extremely aggressive proselytizing that normals still want to have absolutely nothing to do with Christian fundamentalists nor ever anyone who would make the dire social mistake of introducing themselves as being a Christian. Because, the common reasoning goes, only one of those horrid proselytizers would do something like that.
Cut to the chase. Give us the money shot. Just exactly what is it that you are trying to sell us. And don't you dare say that you aren't trying to sell anything, because that would be a lie. Door-to-door proselytizers came to my door one day and I told them what I tell all door-to-door salesmen, that I do not buy anything sold door-to-door. They lied to me saying, "But we're not selling anything." And I told them, "Oh yes you are. And I am already very familiar with what you are selling and I know not to even begin to consider buying it." We have seen so many proselytizers, far too many of them. We know what they look like. They look exactly like you.
What are you selling? State its name. Cut the bullshit. Deliver your money shot and allow us to say "No thank you so very much!"

These rock opera lyrics kept leaping to mind:
quote:
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
And no one had the guts to leave the temple!
Unfortunately, that was the protagonist singing to spin his own Messianic web of deception, which his followers end up rejecting, leaving him in his original vegetative state:
quote:
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
Don't want no religion
And as far as we can tell
We ain't gonna take you
Never did and never will
We forsake you
Gonna rape you
Let's forget you better still
Normally, I would offer points for identifying the cultural references. But I'm sure we both know exactly how valuable those points would be.
