Very good point Mario.
I think I am experiencing forced conversions here in the UK. Every time I am on
a bus or walking to my favourite butcher to buy mutton (Muslim butchers sell
the best mutton here), I have these Jamaican ladies who come running up to me,
guaranteeing eternal salvation through Jesus Christ. No amount of telling them
that I am already Catholic seems to dissuade them. They insist I must read the
Bible. Maybe there is something about me that says I can't possibly be
Christian, like that Madonna T-shirt I keep wearing :-)
Stop forced conversions in the UK, especially on the Red Bus, since there is
absolutely no chance of me getting my British driving license and I have to
keep using that bus. Say no to forced conversions :-)
Wishing everyone a Wonderful Christmas and New Year!
Cheers guys,
Selma
