So I am at work this afternoon out front taking a smoke break with 2 of my employees. [View all]
And these 3 ladies walk up to us and ask how we are doing. We all say great, good, doing well, how are you, the things you say when someone does this. She says great then proceeds to ask us if we are saved, One of my employees is pretty religious so he says yes I go to church and follow the lord, she turns to my other employee and asks him and he says he is an atheist. She replies that they will pray for him tonight. I just look away and don't let them engage with me at all. I'm thinking really? What kind of person would say and think something like that? I was thinking to myself to say "You know what? When I go to bed tonight I will think and hope fervently that you can find the right way to think and become an atheist". Not because I care or want them to think like I do but to just put it right back at them as to how fucking disrespectful that is. To walk up to someone and ask if they believe like you do, something that no one can prove, and when they don't tell them that you think they are so wrong that you will spend your time at home wishing that they believe what you do. I cant do that because well, that would get me fired and would be wrong to do so.
Sorry for the rant.
Eko.
