there were two people walking in as I was just leaving, I held the door open...... and this girl said "hey there! jesus loves you." I said thank you..... I didnt know what else to say.
you could have said "well satan loves you" or "not as much as he loves your mom" or "not as much as your mom loves me" or "go eat aluminum you crazy towelfish!" the possibilities were truly endless
I know right. Those are the sweet spots in my days. The other day I was at the beer store across the street and there was a girl in there with her dog. I said, "You shouldn't drink, you're a dog!" Girl laughed a lot.
I look back on that now and see what the message was that was sent to me...... because it was only a few minutes after that I got the call from my mom saying that my brother tried to committ suicide, but he felt guilty for being so selfish...... so definitely he had a guardian angel, or jesus or god spoke to him and showed him that what he was doing was wrong...... and would hurt his family........ so yeah, I think what I got was truely a message for what was just sprung upon me this evening.
Well, even if you're not religious, I think you said the right thing. I don't understand why the rest of the posters want to go out of their way to insult somebody who was trying to wish you well in her way. Hippies, huh? *shrugs*
I am gunna get shot one of these days... My fiance is a firefighter and he has a PA in his car...and I let this guy go yesterday and he didn't wave...so I yelled into his PA-YOUR WELCOME FUCKER! He stopped dead in the road and I just kept going. Then, I go into the convenience store and I told the door for this old FAT lady and she didn't say thanks...so I said the same thing and she goes-you are an inconsiderate bitch-I said "well, ma'am I find myself very considerate as I just held the door for your fat ass." I walked out and went to the other store-HAHA
yeah, i think it's sweet. no harm done. someone went out of their way to say something nice. no need to be a shit about it. unless they're screaming in your face like those fuckers in simi valley used to. i hate those aggressive religion recruiters. do they really think bludgeoning someone with their religion is going to HELP? i don't fucking think so. i made a point of fucking with THOSE guys as often as possible. but an offhand "jesus loves you." well, hell, that's nice. it's like holding a door open for someone and them saying "bless you." well, hell, i'll take all the good vibes i can get.
I agree KC, because always, actions speak louder than words. We can spew all of the religious propoganda we want, but the reality is that we are all equal in potential course of behaviour, and God is God, wether you believe in God or not, it is our acceptance of each other and our selfless desire to love others unconditionally that leaves our fellow peoples with the lingering impression of God/Love on their minds. -
Once I walked a really feeble old man with a cane out to his car on a windy and slightly icy day last winter after he was done eating at DQ. He told me his church could sure use some more nice girls like me and asked me if I attended. I told him I had a bad experience at my last church and he said, "Well, that's too bad, if you change you're mind you're always welcome at mine" and then out rolled the name of my previous brain-washing cult of a church. I just smiled and told him I'd keep it in mind and thanked him. I don't mind religious people that use their faith for good, and he was just trying to repay me for helping him out the best way he knew how.
