It's 10:00 a.m. There's a knock at your door. You weren't expecting anyone, so you look through the peephole and see two strangers on your doorstep. They look like a perfectly nice couple, except that one is carrying a stack of church literature and the other one has a plastic donation bucket in hand. They want to share the Good News with you and save your soul, and maybe reserve a ticket for you on the Heavenly Express (although with the amount of change rattling around in your pockets, it'll probably be coach class).

Ever wonder why no one shows up on your doorstep to tell you that you should discover your own purpose in life and take responsibility for yourself instead of depending on someone else to provide direction and salvation?
