Interesting interaction today at the Winn Dixie.
Agnostic007:
I was pushing my cart down the aisle of a supermarket today when a woman stopped me in passing and handed me about a 4" by 7" white card that started out with "Jesus Loves You". As she handed it to me she said "Jesus Loves You" I took a second to look at it, realized it was a Christian religious pamphlet and thinking that I didn't want her to waste something on me I was not going to read I smiled and said "Thanks but you can have it back" and handed it to her. She acted like I had just called her a whore. As I walked away her look stuck in my mind... and I wondered if I should have just taken it and tossed it when she wasn't looking.

Wonder what she'd have done if I walked past her at Winn Dixie and handed her a pocket size Quran or Hadith? Would she have been as courteous to me as you were to her?

Yep, that's what you should have done.
These people are usually either mentally ill, recovered drug addicts, or recovering from some traumatic life experience, etc.
Not worth having an altercation with.

You mean you haven't experienced this countless times in your life? Why is this newsworthy? It happens to me all the time. Sometimes I take them (and later toss them). Mostly I decline. Takes about 2 seconds of my time.

I guess, had I experienced it as much as you have, I wouldn't have mentioned it. But I didn't and I did.
