Have You Found Jesus? Yeah! He Plays A Mean Game Of hide And Seek Ya Know!

Little kid at work last night, pointing at me "Mommy look that lady's wearing one of those star necklaces, you said they're bad! That means we need to pray for her right?"

Mommy, giving me a REALLY NASTY look "yes dear, some people need all the help they can get to make the right choices in life."

Me, in the most sickeningly sweet voice i could muster: "Hi! How are you this evening? Did you find everythign you were looking for?"

Not wearing my "bad star necklace" doesn't do anything about the fact that these people can't just agree to disagree and get on with their lives.

(They found Jesus? Guess He didn't see them first...)

*Laughs hysterically* Oh my gosh sweetie, I love you so much... You TOTALLY just made my day. It's so pathetic when people claim to be SO religious, and claim to love Jesus and all that, when really, they're just super hateful. I don't like people like that. I like the religious people who love everybody. WORD.
*Smooches you to pieces*
You've got to admit...it IS pretty funny. ;)

Had I coffee in my mouth when I read that, for sure I'd have spit it out laughing.

Let us pray...

*Sigh* I know where you're at. You wouldn't believe (or maybe you would) how many people feel the need to pray for me, and a lot of them I met in college. I even had a guy do the whole laying of hands thing, touching my eyes during his prayer, and at the end, ask, "Well, do you see anything?" Do you know how tempting it was to just jump up and down and shout, "YES! YES! OH MY GOD, I CAN SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!" (Later, a friend of mine said I should've looked into the sun and said, "YES! I can SEEEEEEEEE the light!!!"...LOL)

Personally, I have a view that pisses off a lot of people...well, it probably does, and I'm sure it makes a bunch of others very uncomfortable...and that is...when it's all over, we'll find that God has a fantastic sense of humor and the joke's on us. Won't we be surprised when we find that we were just fighting about stupid shit and none got the bigger picture? Anyway...maybe you should make up some pamphlets or something for them.

Ugh.

*hugs*

I'm sorry you had to deal with such close-minded ignorami today! I never understood that either, "Oh, we'll love everyone except anyone that hasn't been found yet". WTF?

more *hugs*

(hug) it probably pissed off the mother that your head didn't spin 360 degrees to prove to the child that you are evil :)

how horribly sad that people teach their kids crap like that.
