Our Detractors, the Disclaimers.. and worse..........yea-yea.

I used to work at one of the nicest boutiques in the whole wide world.....loved the peeps I worked with-the products were wow-wee, over the moon, awesome----upper management, not so great.

One of the most aggravating things we were required to do, was approach a customer (potential) as soon as they crossed the threshold.
 And.....go thru a 5 minute spiel with them...our company specials-their needs-blah-blah-blah.....aggravating some of them to the point-that they just left. (effect a pained and browbeaten countenance).-mine.
Was a really stupid requirement-scaring our potential customers away... Can't say that enuff.

I remember one lady-being excessive in her nastiness to one of our clerks-so much so-that said clerk came in the back room-near tears----so I walk out and state: Mam-our company requires we ask you: did the spiel in overdrive---if you require no further conversation or help-have a grand day!
 Needless to say-the snarkiness died in her eyes, under the effect of a pained countenance-(mine again,) really stupid. Cannot say that enuff!!!!!!!!!

Actually our manager was written up-if this stupid assine spiel were not performed.

This reminds me of modern day Christians-good-decent-honest-educated-worthy people trying to get the Good Word across to anyone. You guessed-I am one.......A Christian.....

Due to the insane and often time ridiculous bullshit that has been promoted in the name of greed and evil-yes, evil---we have earned a bad name. No wonder.

Past choices---sugary sweet yukkers or over the top insane ranting madmen and women......grrrr.
Sets most peoples teeth on edge. Me too.

But the plain fact is-we are required to spread the good news. And how on earth to do that in this world???

You might say-why do they do this? Act stupidly-well...there are jewels at risk-(here I am stating a reality-not a fantastic idea)...........yea, there are. And not here on earth.
You see, you can't buy your way into Heaven, but alot of peeps believe that you can certainly dress well in jewels, when ya get there....depending on the conversions you make here..,...to the cause.

God doesn't expect everyone will make it-not suppose to happen-and he implements "Free Will" to insure that only his true followers will be there.

Kinda like my sister on FB-playing the Farmville game.....try to outdistance  her and she will leave you in the proverbial dust. I know.

You see, some people look at anything from their own greed.......( not talking about my sister and her game-altho that is a great example) And others look at it from their capacity to win-big. ( that's her)

Some peeps are just good old fashioned folks who love a challenge.
And...they are like-I am not gonna be the only one in Heaven without some jewels up in my crown....
I so concur....
Me-I, fit this category....I do.

However,  I would turn in every crown jewel  I win/earn or can do---if  the people I love are going to be able to join me in the afterlife.......I mean it. More important than anything to me.....
It just is......
You see so many people irritated by  "Christians" hounding/annoying them to be saved-become a Christian...understandable ...I have and will never do anything so bizarre.

I was raised a Christian and am proud of that heritage. I always will be. I love and have the most fond memories of going to the church where I was baptised.
It was after-when that church split-due to politics ( money-again) that we went to a church-that I really didn't like.

This church had a Youth Minister that was a son-in-law of one of the very wealthy members of the church. ( that politics thing-ie again)  He told us we were going to get on a bus-drive around town-get out on street corners and approach people about being "saved".
 I never went back.......I was 13 years old.

 And it reminds me of why people do not like some Christians. They assume that everyone is the same crazed nutter that they have seen on TV,
Televangelists are sometimes perceived of as crazy-rightfully so-not to mention that a few have been found to be in a real state of dis-grace. Sad.

So, I do get why..people do not like fundamentalists churches or those Christians.
I mean, I don't like to have the crap aggravated out of me either. They give the rest of us a bad name.

I do want to share with anyone, the marvel I feel at being a Christian, because it is an awesome feeling. And it has enormous perks--I mean where else can you get your very own Angel?
Just one of the most amazing things........
I speak to a Deity each and everyday-sometimes more than once. And he listens......pretty cool.
His Son runs interference for me........if I do something really bad.
I can build up a portfolio for eternity that will not decline with the economy........nice.
The clothes and accessories will be, well, out of this world is not a realistic way of saying it----Absolutely Fabulous!!!!
Never sick-sad or mad!!!!!!Wow!
Just goes on and on---and all for believing in a Deity that so loved us he gave his only begotten son.....to a world, that instead of destroying him, they made him a symbol of Hope to all.
I am not a perfect person-even accepting of God-Jesus-all their teachings-I am human.....very---will and it is expected I will sin.
My biggie bad is that I cannot stop saying a word that gets me in the most trouble.......PENANCE...is what I have to do...I have prayed ( prayer is huge in Christianity) that God will help me remove it from my lexicon.

A friend of mine plays a game online and a man-young-she has never met-tries daily to convert her to Christianity...she was adopted/raised by devout Catholics-but is not a practising one in adulthood   was not a bad experience--just leaves her flat---she is highly intelligent and questions this thing called "Faith".
We somehow got talking about the afterlife--and we differ in opinion in what it will be and for whom....she said she just doesn't believe in purgatory.....I  replied with, not only does it exist--you need to pay people now to pray you out of it when you die (Catholics used to do this) and...I told her....you also better have the coins ready for the Ferryman....she really doesn't know how to take me or when I am serious or kidding.

Well, take it from me----I am damn serious. No disclaimer is gonna be there when you die--And the detractors will, unfortunately for them, not  be joining you....
God bless--I do mean that.....for everyone. Not just special me----we are all on an even playing field-right now..May God bless you all.
