theology laughs

After a talk tonight a couple of us went for a drink and I couldn't help but laugh when Mat said (in quite a surprised- the stereotypes are really true?!- voice) 'aren't scandinavians really serious!!!' and proceded to tell a story of someone in the department this lunchtime. But what has really made me smile, in addition to Theo saying when I go and visit her in San Diego we'll go to the Creationism Museum dressed as gorilla's with an umbrella and very 'English' accents, is this quote that she put on her facebook status that reads as follows...
"Consider the problems of taking showers with [Christians]. They are, after all, constantly going on about the business of witnessing in the hopes of making converts to their God and church. Would you want to shower with such people? You never know when they might try to baptize you!" Stanley Hauerwas, "Why Gays (as a Group) Are Morally Superior to Christians (as a Group)." The Hauerwas Reader pp.519-21.
I'm sure the amusement, tickling inside of me shouldn't be so sinister!!!
