SO, last night I was at the local Wendys for a burger...

[Pierre.Suave]

and sitting a few tables away were a bunch of church ladies sitting around talking about how they would change their bodies if given the choice upon arrival in heaven...

This is where I come in to the story. After listening to their desired changes I asked a series of questions...

I began with, Is god perfect? They of course answered yes.

I continued with, is everything god does, perfect? Again, they predictably answered yes.

I then asked, if god indeed created everything? Again, yes.

Then, I asked, Did god create you? Again, yes.

So then I said, if god is perfect, and everything god does is perfect, and god created you, are you not perfect just the way you are?

crickets...but, but, but...We were just teasing.

to which I said, Oh so you are mocking god by suggesting he made you imperfect?

They got mad and left.

[rug]

1. You left out original sin.

[Pierre.Suave]

2. damnit

I always forget that...

OK, tell me how I could have worked that in there?

[DS1]

3. The only women in Wendy's in nun outfits at that hour are costume-themed hookers

[Pierre.Suave]

4. LOL

well they were not wearing nuns outfits and if they were hookers, they certainly would not make a very good one. They were not attractive at all.

edit: The hour was 7:30 pm...

[DS1]

5. just the way JVS likes it

[Pierre.Suave]

6. hahaha

that made me laugh.

[LSK]

15. got any pics to prove this?

:evilgrin:

[DS1]

17. use your imagination

[LSK]

18. was hoping for a creative photoshop

:eyes:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

7. Now go over to GD and post this

See how long before you get chastised for going into Wendy's.

[HEyHEY]

8. Take that, Gang of old ladies enjoying themselves!

Grrr. the elderly make me mad.

[Pierre.Suave]

9. it wasnt the fact that they were old ladies

as much as it was they were fundies. I HATE fundies.

Especially when they ruin my quiet night of dining out by talking loudly about jesus...

[HEyHEY]

11. Oh, it was THAT kind of thing

Yes, that is annoying. Lucky we don't get much of them round here.

[Richardo]

14. The only thing worse than fundies....

...are people who inject themselves uninvited into others' conversations.

How DARE they talk about a subject of their own choosing! Do they think just because they're exercising their right of free speech talking about the religion of their choice they get DOUBLE First Amendment protection? :grr:

Glad you smacked them down, jasonc. That's showing them the liberal way :patriot:

[Pierre.Suave]

16. ...

yeah yeah

[spoony]

43. Don't worry there's only a remote chance this actually happened

Far more likely it was a fantasy he posted here expecting a lot of back slaps. People do not generally speak in syllogisms.

[Pierre.Suave]

46. Excuse me?

This did happen. I did not make this up.

Who the hell are you anyway?

[spoony]

52. Who am I? Well I'm not an old lady so

you probably won't get much joy in confronting me.

[Pierre.Suave]

59. Well I am sure you are a

curmudgeon anyway.

[Phillycat]

54. ..

:applause:

[Richardo]

56. .

:hi: + :pals:

[underpants]

10. Where's the Jesus?

[Pierre.Suave]

12. Hey

you found their pic.

[underpants]

13. I *ALSO* found Jesus

[Q3JR4]

26. If nobody claims him in 10 days, he's yours! n/t

[Phillycat]

55. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.

8 year olds, dude.

[Bucky]

19. So, what, were they like uggos or something?

Dood, don'tcha know for just a little bit of polite affirmation, sometimes you can get some sweet sweet lonely church lady lovin'?

[Critters2]

24. Which means casseroles! I love a good casserole!! nt

[Pierre.Suave]

28. hahahaha

no way in hell that was happening.

[CreekDog]

20. Jason you are a troublemaker and not in a good way

I know from your posts.

I think you need a gf.

[KitchenWitch]

21. ...

:eyes:

[Pierre.Suave]

27. uhm

ok.

What should I tell my current GF?

[CreekDog]

38. Wow, you're this way with a gf? n/t

[Pierre.Suave]

47. yes

I am non fundy liking, and I have a gf...

Whats so amazing about that?

[Midlodemocrat]

49. That is a very unkind thing to say.

:eyes:

[spoony]

53. With due respect to you, so was

the OP's unprovoked harassment of other Wendy's patrons. One might fairly think of that as being a 'troublemaker.'

[Pierre.Suave]

58. oh, you mean

confronting a group of old church ladies that are talking so loudly that they can clearly be heard ANYWHERE in the entire restaurant, and talking about JESUS at that?

yeah, thats harassment... :eyes:

[Richardo]

63. Yeah, what more offensive subject is there than Jesus?

I think they should have been killed.

[Pierre.Suave]

64. ...

:eyes:

[Critters2]

22. And this makes you feel good about yourself?

They were harming you in some way?

[Pierre.Suave]

29. yes, it makes me feel intellectually superior

Because I am intelligent enough to not believe in an invisible skydaddy despite all the logical inconstancies inherent in the religion versus reality...

[spoony]

44. For being "intellectually superiour"

You certainly don't have a good grasp on either grammar or writing convincing dialogue.

[Pierre.Suave]

45. hahahahahahaha

the last resort argument, I love it.

[spoony]

51. I rather think the "last resort argument" is to go "hahahahahaha"

in place of anything more substantial.

[Taverner]

23. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Dude, I owe you a beer
I love it when people fuck with the true believers!

[Pierre.Suave]

30. Sweet

When and where do we get to meet, drink, and be merry?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

25. Christians don't like it when you point out inconsistencies with their religion...

[Pierre.Suave]

31. of course not

it makes them think, and that is not allowed, because if they thought about it enough they would realize it is a ruse..

[SPKrazy]

32. I think you hit the nail on the head of what is wrong with modern

Christianity

it has become a "magic" religion instead of one of worship and love, and caring (not all brands)

that being true regardless of whether one believes in God or not, the origins of Christianity I don't believe were about getting new bodies, maybe I'm wrong.

There's a lot wrong with the world, and these ladies sitting around talking about whether God will give them new bodies when they die. :eyes:

Your points were well put, although I'm sure they only got mad and will not have a clue that you spoke of anything that made true sense.

:shrug:

:hi:

[Pierre.Suave]

33. probably not

but at least I tried.

[GreenPartyVoter]

36. I think that points out more, though, the obsession with appearance in our culture. In the end this

could have just as easily been teens complaining about what they hate about themselves, or moms talking about what plastic surgery they would get if they could afford it.

Not saying you aren't right, just adding that Christians aren't immune to poor body image.

[Sugar Smack]

34. You NEVER know who's carrying a handgun

and who's crazy enough to use it at Wendy's. Careful, son.

[Pierre.Suave]

35. LOL

true, I am sure they were also repuglicons, and I should have thought about the possible ramifications of that before I used my logic on them.

[petronius]

37. I'd bet they got mad and left because an annoying stranger was pestering them

:eyes:

[Mojambo]

39. That's right. Pestering complete strangers about God is THEIR job! n/t

[GirlinContempt]

40. I missed that part.

[Mojambo]

42. Oh I wasn't talking about these ladies, more about evangelicals in general

In my experience they show little reluctance to discuss their religion with strangers as long as it's on their terms.

I just think it's funny that for once it was the Christians trying to get away from a conversation and not the other way around.

[Swede]

41. Well aren't you a big hero.

You sure showed them.

[Pierre.Suave]

48. What the hell?

happened to this thread while I was gone.

Geez you people bitch about everything.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

50. Bitch?

Hell, this is nothing!

Nobody's compared you to Hitler.

Yet.

Or said something really nasty, like "Bless your heart".

:rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

57. yeah

I guess I was referring to only a few posters in this thread that came out of nowhere (probably GD)

[quip]

60. Here's the deal:

Anytime you say you "hate" someone, it is disturbing. In this case you hate fundies. So basically, you hate people because of their religion. How are you different from someone who hates another based on their race, or gender? The operative word here is "hate". What happened to the concepts of tolerance, diversity, and respect?

So you hate fundies. That's your perogative. It makes you a bigot, but whatever floats your boat. But when you start hassling strangers about their religion, you have gone from being Private Bigot to Major Asshat. Think about it.

Just saying.

[Pierre.Suave]

61. So, what you are saying

is that they have every right to talk as loudly as they want inside the restaurant about Jesus, but I have no right to also speak up and challenge their ridiculous views?

Fine, i will be a bigot. I hate fundies, I hate what they believe in and I hate what they have done to this country along with the Neocons.

just call me Major Asshat.

[quip]

62. I said nothing about rights

This is an issue of civility. Just because THEY are rude and major asshats does not mean that YOU should follow suit. It makes you no better than they, in addition to making you into a hypocrite. Live and let live.

It's fine to disagree with others' views, but why use the "H" word? It makes you sound intolerant and ignorant.

:hi:

[LanternWaste]

65. I'm surprised you handled yourself with such civil and dignified restraint

How dare they have a conversation about their beliefs whilst simultaneously imagining that no one would ridicule them for that over dinner. I'm surprised you handled yourself with such civil and dignified restraint.

(Yet I wonder what your spin would be were the situations reversed...)

However, you did advertise how clever you are, bullied some old women *and* cut short their dinner in the process-- so I guess you've come out of that a real winner. Quite the shining example of tolerance we preach...

[Pierre.Suave]

66. they were not LOUDLY discussing their beliefs

they were LOUDLY discussing how they wanted god to change their bodies when they arrived in heaven.

When trying to eat, I do not want to hear some old, fat, ugly, church ladies discussing how they want to look like supermodels when they get to heaven.

:eyes:

[Swede]

69. Your a real fucking prize there numb nuts.

Hate is such an ugly thing.

[Pierre.Suave]

70. lol

yeah, go preach it brother...

Amazingly enough, I was able to be such an asshat without even swearing once or calling them names. :eyes:

[AngryAmish]

71. I did the same thing last week

There were a bunch of homosexuals talking loudly about their partners, adopting children, wearing feather boas, etc.

Well, they were interrupting my meal so I marched proudly over to them, told them that God hated them then they left.

I posted about it last week, telling everyone how smart I was, driving off those close minded homosexuals. They are stupid, I am smart. See?

[THUNDER HANDS]

67. that's freaking disgusting

you go to Wendys and you don't order the chicken nuggets?

what's wrong with you. That's the only good thing they serve!

[Pierre.Suave]

68. Well considering

how many orders they screwed up, it is a miracle I didnt end up with the chicken nuggets.
