Joe was an avidly rabid Christian fundamentalist. He disliked immensely anyone who disagreed with his theological position.
He would be saved by faith alone, and not all that other religious good deeds and crap spun out by those who didn’t know how to interpret the Bible properly.
BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS AND BE SAVED! was his cry. BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS AND BE SAVED!
“I’m saved,” he shouted. “The rest of you can get stuffed.”
Listen the story being read HERE!
Cold as charity, Joe is, which we hope he never needs because there won’t be any left if he succeeds in converting tout le monde.

I’ve met several like Joe! But I do feel a tad sorry for him too, he’s going to get a bit of a shock one day when he wakes up dead 🙂

Hey, rabidly avid Joe can believe whatever he wants, as long as he continues to tell me to get stuffed…. That’s good. It means he won’t be on my doorstep with pamphlets and preachings trying to save me!

Ah, Billy is a handsome goat! I like this bigger picture. As for Joe, I am continually surprised by the tiny mean god some people believe in. Grrk.

Charity is a coat that’s worn twice a year! And when it’s tattered and holy as Joe’s, I know it’s all show.

This is nothing to do with anything, but it did remind me of the Yeats’ poem:
An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick…

That would be a perfect quotation for “Little Old Lady Who”! I have known that Yeats since my teens! (And one day I shall purchase your poems. It is the postage that is currently prohibitive).
