Why do people see the need to "inform" you of their beliefs? I am sitting at Subway at lunch today, minding my own damn business, reading my book and eating my lunch, when the lady at the table next to me says "Ma'am?". I look up and say "Yes." She says "I just wanted to tell you that the Lord loves you. Has anyone ever told you that?" "Yes," I reply and go back to eating. "We have been told by our minister to tell people that the Lord loves them. I just see something on your face and I don't know what it is, but I wanted to tell you that the Lord loves you." "Thank you," I say and begin to ignore her.
Man, that just pisses me off. More than likely, what she saw on my face was my increasingly cynical expression that said "I can't believe someone actually has the nerve to say this to me." It's not that I don't know/care that the Lord loves me. I do, really. I just don't really want to hear it from people in a restaurant when I don't even know them. I don't want to be preached to while I eat. If I wanted to be preached to, I know who to call, believe me!

Saving my sanity, one post at a time...... This is where I talk about anything I want, and don't have to worry about anyone else.
Quote of the moment...
"It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom--for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself." --- The Declaration of Arbroath, 1320

- I have entirely too much random knowledge that really no one understands. I guess that's what I get for watching the History channel and lots of other random shows.
