I was pissed for all of my Christian friends
I picked up a carload of girls at dfw today. No luggage. 2 from Idaho, 1 from Washington, another from Canada. They were here for a Christian conference. They shuttled from the hotel thinking that they could take the train to the stockyards. But alas, no more trains today.
So the young lady sitting next to me, Emily, had a lot of questions about dallas Fort Worth. I answered them as best I could. Then she asked me about religion. It was her understanding that there were a lot of religous people here. I replied yes. There are. Explained the blue laws that still exist. Etc etc. She asked if I was religous. I said no. Fully agnostic. But respect those that have faith.
A little about me. I am so agnostic, I am almost atheist. But i do think that there is a higher power, or powers. Organized religion is not my thing. I have tried. Nothing took. Both of my children believe and I support them and anyone else that believes.
So back to my story.
This stupid little cow, Emily, then says this: I understand that there are a lot of Christians here, but their faith is empty. I am like, what the fuck did you just say? I am thinking: you pious little bitch. How dare you question the faith of an entire community. You are so fucking smug. I asked what do you mean? Well you know their faith is empty. I replied, well no, I don't know that. She then said: believing how you believe, does it bother you that there are so many that are really faithless who call themselves Christians. I replied: I don't really think that it is up to me to gauge or judge anyone's faith or lack thereof.
I was so angry. I don't know why this little twat thought she was is so superior to everyone else. Maybe that is something she learned in her little conference.
This is one of the main reasons I don't go to church. But not why I don't believe.
