Bush and his religion?
"escapee" wrote in message ... On Sun, 27 Jun 2004 21:15:53 GMT, "Vox Humana" opined: How do you account for so many denominations each having so large a difference with fellow Christians that they can't abide belonging to the same organization? This is a true statement. I was walking the neighborhood for our bi-annual food drive. I see a man on the block I don't know and walk up to him to hand him the flyer with the info on it. He asks me what church this is with. I say, no church, it's the city food drive for their food pantry. It's all legit. He asks where we "fellowship." That must be a buzz word Christians use for what church you attend. We say, we are Buddhist practitioners, our garden is the church. He then has the audacity to say, and I quote, "So now you know the big lie, would you like to know the truth?" Was that a question or an invitation, I asked. His response was "You are lost and I can save you." I turned away and continued walking. A couple of years ago some Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on my door early on a Saturday morning. The spokesperson of the group asked, "Do you have time to be saved from eternal damnation?" I thought for a minute and replied, "No, I'm too busy today. Maybe some other time." She looked stunned and in a sarcastic tone she said "You're too busy to be saved." I replied, "Yes." She left a Watch Tower and moved on to her next victim. Now when I see them coming (they always come in groups of a couple women and a man. The women always have huge purses.) I put our big male shar pei on the porch and close the door. They have never dared open the gate on the porch. I guess saving people from eternal damnation isn't worth the bother sometimes. |
