The summer after my freshman year of university I worked as a janitor. One of the other janitors was a Fundamentalist Christian. He found out that I am an atheist, and it became his mission to convert me. First he told me about his conversion, which included describing to me, in detail, about how he sinned before. That is, all about the various adult venues he had attended and such things. Obviously, that didn't exactly draw me in. He also brought me a book he had compiled detailing everybody he had witnessed to, letters to the editor he had written, and so forth. Later that summer he trapped me in a closet, grabbed my shoulders, and prayed over me. That was extaordinarily unnerving and unpleasant. You may well imagine that I am still an atheist.
