Please don't witness me when you buy a pie

Today marks the second time someone has either witnessed to me or made a comment about how I should accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. First time it was borderline-harrassment, according to my co-workers and a manager, but I don't remember the guy's face or anything specific and never bothered to tell him off because I wasn't sure how to respond.

Today, though, this guy came in to buy a pie for his wife. Conversation started out friendly enough.

"J-P, how're you doing"
"(smiling) I'm doing quite alright, thank you! How're you?"
"I'm doing very good. So, tell me, J-P, how's your relationship with J.C.?"
"(feigning ignorance as I put his pie into a bag) Who's J.C.?"
"Jesus Christ."
"(stiffly, honestly, and uncomfortably) I don't have one."

It slid down from there. I wanted to ask him to stop, but I wasn't sure if I could get in trouble for that or not (given how some employers don't want you to make any sort of negative impression to scare away customers), so I just simply smiled, nodded, grinded my teeth silently and unnoticably, clenched my fists under my computer monitor, and made little-to-no commentary. He kept on about how if I didn't act soon, I would suffer tremendously after the rapture and then he went on to say that if I survived the seven years of Tribulation, that I would end up serving the Antichrist and suffering for all eternity.

He didn't like the fact that I read the Bible more as literature; which, when I had read it, I didn't. I read it in a religious context; and asked me if I'd read Revelations. I have, three times to be exact. I told him this and then he went on about how I should KNOW what to expect then. I just kept being nice and let him go. I was pissed once he left.

I really have nothing against discussing religion with people, but not while I am at work. That, to me, is an inappropriate time and place to do so and the fact that he felt otherwise was offensive to me.

I just needed to get that out. =<
