May 2015

where one of them said something to the effect of "Well, I was praying last night and Jesus told me..."
Instead of carting this guy off the funny farm, the others nodded their heads in agreement, like they, too, often heard Jesus speaking to them. I was flabbergasted. I wanted to shout out "What the hell is wrong with you people? Don't you see that you are all clinically insane?"

Instead, I just backed away slowly, trying to be sure not to make any sudden or threatening moves before I was safely out of range.
