Just... wow.
This one guy's a pastor at his church, Baptist I think he mentioned when we all introduced ourselves to each other. He said had just done a long sermon this last Sunday about protecting the country by voting for a Christian man, George W. Bush, because Bush was going to great troubles to protect the Bible, where Kerry wanted to outlaw the bible. Of course, I laughed at that, and shook my head and replied that this outlawing the bible thing was just untrue. That made him mad, so I asked him to take a look at Bush's actions, and asked how those actions are representative of God or Jesus. I asked him to take an honest look at Bush's actions and see how they compare them with God's teachings.
And he just stood there,staring at his hands as he fiddled with his Bush sign. He just stood there.
And stood there.
His friends were waiting for him to say something, but he just stood there, their eyes were darting back and forth between the pastor and the other people in their group. Then, the most beautiful fucking words I've ever heard came out of his mouth.
"You know.. I never really thought about it that way. You're right. That really isn't very God like at all."
His pals just stood there, the woman's Starbucks cup literally started sloshing in her hand, they all started laughing nervously.
