easy bait?

why is it that I tend to be approachable? Like on the first day of this semester, this one guy, seemingly lost, asks me and not a slough of other people where the communications bldg is. Of course I point him in the right direction, but it got me thinking why that guy asked me for help. he hadn't said a thing to anyone before.

And I've been ganged up on... no, that's a bad connotation... approached by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints twice this year. Do I look like a wandering soul that needs direction? usually I'm just walking around, minding my own business when out of nowhere. boom! hits you like a ton of bricks. of course, I'm not one to brush off people either, so I try and listen to what they have to say in a polite fashion and then try to carry on my way. Of course, they never just want to talk. Then I start trying to weasel myself out- I have class, etc.- and it always ends up with me feeling awkward like I've just wasted their time. What gives? I admit, I am far from a religious person. I do believe that there is some kind of God out there, but I hate it when people try and shove their vision down my throat. Of course, thats how religion's been handled all these years. Don't question, just accept. I think I'm a lot like my mom's dad whom I never met, whom I'm 2/3 named after. He was what he called a "Jack Mormon". I don't know if that's a proper term or not, but thats what he told my mom. He believed he didn't need to go to church in order for God to hear him. He didn't need to know every verse from every version of the bible, explaining idiosyncrasies between books, but just to know what morals come from the sunday sermons whether or not in a religious context. But, eh, I don't want to start arguing up a fight about this. Just a thought.
