How would you handle

Beware of people who bring up their "faith" frequently. Some use it for manipulating people.
I've had two stalker men in the last ten years. No, I'm not gay. One was a guy who bought a car from a friend that I put the car together for. Every time I went to a cruise in, or show, he would get really close to me, and ask the same questions about what I did to the car. Finally, I had to lose it to get him to leave me alone.
The second guy lived down the street, and decided we were friends whether I wanted to or not. Same thing, kept showing up at my house, keeping me from enjoying the little time off that I had. He also would go to the cruise night to stalk me. I actually saw him running after me at the cruise spot. Then he started to show up with his room mate. I tried everything I could to stop him, but he was determined to keep after me. And he had several dogs, and smelled like dog poop. He died from MS. That's the only way I got rid of him. My point is, some people just lock on to you, no matter how distant you try to be. Be firm, and say it straight out, while you have a hammer in your hand. If that fails, get the restraining order, and keep the hammer, or mace close by.
