Right outside huh?
It would be a shame if something were to suddenly drop outside...

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

First, I'm curious about the existence of lifts instead of elevators in Maine.

I take to street preachers like flies to shit, mostly for amusement. There have been a couple occasions where I felt obligated to chime in to break the snake charmer's hypnotic hold on an innocent bystander. I address the fellow observer, but ensure I'm loud enough to get the anointed's attention. There's rarely any direct conversation. In my experience nobody is taking the delusional twat seriously and the attitude of the crowd is the same as if we were standing around watching cats fuck-fight.

i live downtown and there's one outside my flat every sunday..
i get off the lift and go out the lobby and he see's me..
He approaches.. in my head.. i hear the music from jaws..
sometimes he gets me... sometimes not...

These people are looking for money

So - I simply quote the bible - Give to Caesar what is Casesar's, Give to God what is god's. ANd then I tell them I will pray to my no god for them as christ said - and walk away.

Ignore. Just pretend they're not there.
