Do you know who Jesus is?

I guess I'm to dumb to know, grrrrr....

Published on May 15, 2004 By Sally jacobs In Misc

Weird people, like me, don't ask me why but when they come across me they must find some kind of kindred spirit , because they attach themselves to me and they are pretty difficult to shake off! For example, I was out shopping the other day, me and some friends, and there was these religious guys handing out leaflets, I would say forcing religion on people, but I have more respect, and this one guy picked me out, FOUR of us, and he picks me, grrr......

His starting question to me was, do you know who Jesus is? Before I even had a chance to make a smartarse reply, I was getting a speech, lovely. He then I asked if I believed in god, ahhh touchy subject, I said I believed in something, not sure if it was god. The guy then looked hugely offended and I felt kind of bad, until he suggested that it was a lack of education that made me think like that ( I don't believe in god neccessarily so I must be dumb?), I was going to respond it was more about me not wishing to be brainwashed, but I didn't, I remained polite, made my excuses and left! So I thought that was it, we went on shopping and all was good, until I noticed the guy chasing me. I was thinking he was slightly mad and I'd insulted his faith so he was coming to hurt me, but he caught up with me and said he had a gift for me! Oooooh how exciting......and he pulled out a book all about christianity!!! Yippy yay! Now don't get me wrong, I think that was a nice gesture and in his mind he was doing good, but I feel I showed respect for his beliefs, I stopped and listened to him, but he couldn't respect mine, or lack of?

Whats even worse is, this must have been playing on my mind, because a few days later I had a dream about the guy!!!! He reminded me of my sociology tutor, he looked like him, and had the same patronizing way of talking to people, so he was kind of a cross between the two of them in my dream, and we was back at the same shopping centre, and he just kept chasing me, scary to say the least!!!!

Anyway, enough of that, tonight is the eurovision song contest, ahhh a chance to laugh at people that sing worse than me (and that's saying something!), though If I'm honest I don't actually watch the singing bit, I just watch the scoring part, which kind of defeats the object as I don't know what they are scoring, but I'm guessing whatever it is, it's pretty bad, hehe.

I'm nearly done for today, I want to mention kermit, but I don't know what to say yet again, hmmm. He's acting funny again, I think maybe it's just alot of misunderstandings, and they can be sorted out, I hope that's what it is anyway, still feeling like he doesn't care, I'd feel better if I could have a hug

.

I'm done, yay! Hope you lovely folks have a wicked weekend, take care xxxxxx

! Dyl you're funny, I read your blog, I be leaving a comment soon, just on my way out, but I have questions about Holden, hehe, bet you can't wait! It starts with....you wanted him to kiss you??? Hehe.....! Detroit just makes me think of eight mile, hmmmm!
He's actually not moody, If I'm honest, and maybe I could be described as slightly paranoid, but VERY is just going to far! It's more about a lack of communication, just misunderstandings as I said, which feeds my paranoia, hmmm!

Hope you don't mind a couple of quick comments:

1) "I don't believe in god neccessarily so I must be dumb?"

I don't think he meant that at all. "Dumb", at least as it's used popularly (it originally meant just not able to speak), means unable to learn something that should be fairly easy to learn; "uneducated" means not given the opportunity to learn something. And why do you think that that's any less insulting than being labelled as "brainwashed", even if he had?

2) On the other hand, I can understand your annoyance. Oddly enough, you never read about Jesus chasing after other people to "share his faith"; rather people usually came to him. Which makes one wonder why modern day Christians do so. If people want to know why I believe as I do, I'm willing to discuss it with them. Otherwise, they tend to just tune out what is being said.

Thank you for the comments, and all are welcome

And why do you think that that's any less insulting than being labelled as "brainwashed", even if he had?

I don't think calling it brainwashing is any less insulting, I think talking to me like I'm stupid, and ignorant because i don't share the same beliefs is rude and uncalled for.

Oddly enough, you never read about Jesus chasing after other people to "share his faith"; rather people usually came to him.

Exactly! I have respect for people no matter what religion they choose to follow, that's there decision, I just feel they should show me the same respect for choosing not to follow the same path. I don't chase them down the street and say, NOOOO don't follow religion, it's brainwashing you!

Talk about being picky picky picky with your translation of the guy's motives. I doubt he was implying you're stupid. He wants to tell you that he could help you discover Jesus. It had nothing to do with his assessment of your brain capacity. I think you just want to believe he was being subtle in insulting you. His offering you of a gift which turned out to be a book was thoughtful in his point of view. I don't know...I think you're reading into this wrongly. And I ain't no religious guy. I just happen to have a clearer understanding of what these people are doing. Peace.

Mikimouse, I agree with you to an extent, I think the guy did a good thing, he has beliefs, and they work well for him in his life, they make him happy, and he was trying to pass that gift on to me, I understand that perfectly, I really do! He tried to patronize me throughout the conversation though, and belittle me for having different beliefs than him, maybe I am reading to much into it, I don't know, but that it how he made me feel!

I think I might try that next time I get harassed by the over-zealous!

Ooooh try it, and let me know how it goes, hehe!

Nice rap Radical....yes...erm...very nice
