A tiny annoyance

Making my way from the parking lot to the grocery store, I saw a woman who seemed to be talking to herself, but in truth, she was talking to everyone within earshot.

"Did you hear me?"

"Jesus loves you!"

"He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

"Ma'am, did you know Jesus loves you?"

(Ma'am smiles indulgently and says, "Thank you.")

I had begun walking faster while the woman was occupied with others, but she called after me, "Sir, Jesus loves you!"

Well, I suppose this woman might be a bit loony, or a new convert, or someone who just underwent some moving experience.

Harmless.

But when I'm in the vicinity of people of people bestowing unsought blessings, I feel like the victim of a mildly aggressive act.

"Have a blessed day!"

And another thing...

I'm sure the human race will be arguing over abortion until the end of time, but can somebody tell me why the fucking hell are we having to defend birth control?
