An interesting read...
Read this interesting entry from another blog. The author was having a bad day and was approached by a man while on her way home. Something to ponder about... =)
And so i was just walking along city hall after a bad day at work when this guy came up to me and handed me a leaflet. He was well dressed, and looked thirty-ish. I glanced at the leaflet briefly and raised a brow. It was an invitation to some worship session at a nearby church.
Him: "Come to the session, Miss. God will help you."
Me: Do i look like i need help?
Him: No, miss, that's not what i mean -
Me: Then what do u mean?
Him (slightly flustered): I mean, God will save you. He will end all your suffering and pain.
Me: But i'm not not in pain.
Him: Well he will forgive all your sins, and you will be cleansed.
Me: But i don't want to be cleansed.
Him: Why not?
Me: When you lie to someone, u sin. u think of lying to someone, u sin. you think of thinking of lying to someone, u also sin. So sinning is apparently inevitable. So what's the point of cleansing if i know i'll definitely taint myself again?
Him: It's okay, once u embrace God, he will forgive all your sins. You just have to confess.
Me: Then i think you're very selfish.
Him: Me? why?
Me: Cos u take God for granted. You think he very free is it, forgive you everyday. You sin knowing that it's wrong. You shout at yr mum for not doing your laundry, you check your girlfriend's hp for any smses from other guys, you argue with your boss and fantasize stepping on his head till his brain pops out. Those are all sins. At the end of the day u get all remorseful and confess to God, then you have this visualisation of you cleansed and squeaky clean. Then you repeat the silly cycle everyday till you die, and after you die u still expect to go to heaven.
Him: No, you are mistaken....
Me: Do you love God?
Him: Yes, God is first and foremost in my heart.
Me: Then why do u sin knowing that it's wrong?
Him: Of course we try not to sin, and we do try to be nice to one another. After all, we're all brothers and sisters, the children of God.
Me (points at his feet): Are those real leather shoes?
Him: yes, they're real.
Me: You know that animals die for that right?
Him: yes............
Me (cuttingly) :then why did u buy it?
Him (going into defensive mode): I did not, it was a gift.
Me: But u sinned by accepting the gift, didn't u? You wore the shoes knowing that a cow or some other poor animal had to die for it. What if the cow is a christian how?
Him: it's the circle of life, it's unavoidable that some animals have to be sacrificed.
Me: Yes, but it is one thing to eat an animal, and another to skin them and wear them on your feet like a trophy isn't it? You need food to survive, but do u need leather shoes?
Him: Yes, but-
Me: Sorry i'm gonna go home , and u probably should throw away your leather shoes and go confess. Bye.
Ok fine, it was a REALLY bad day at work.
