Ridiculous experience that I had to share. - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

How terrible...Its probably more to do with the person's character than religion but she probably just conveniently use religion as an excuse to be rude. Some people are really judgemental and non-tolerant and think they are above other people...and people who use their religion to be like that irks me. I don't think Christ wants Christians to treat others this way.

I was just shocked. I can respect anyone's opinions even if I don't agree, but I was just stunned by how rude she was.

I don't respect everyone's opinions. Some people are judgemental, ignorant jerks. More or less. To paraphrase the immortal Ron White, when some people have a thought, they need to just let it go.

Sorry that happened to you. If I had been there I would have ripped that woman a new one. I'm very intolerant of intolerance.

Wow, that was rude! Good job how you handled it though.

duckie215 · 12-08-2008, 04:17 PM

WOW! She does have a right to refuse, but she also has the right to be tactful and non-hostile in her refusal. I think that not everyone read the same book when it comes to the bible.

Well handled.

I can *almost* understand why someone wouldn't support it or whatever, but there is no excuse for being downright hateful. None.

I'm very sorry that happened.

I agree with you both.

I think you handled it very well. Your boss sounds hilarious!

Oh my Gosh , That made me laugh while drinking my hot tea....and that burns coming out a nose !!

I'm sorry that happened to you . I really wouldn't call her a Christian , she may want to think she is , but with that attitude, Nah , I don't think so.

Catrina · 12-18-2008, 10:51 PM

what a complete mental case... im sorry she hurt you, but dont let her.. she sounds like she needs to get her meds refilled !

Ridiculous.

I once had a boss that let his intolerant and uneducated views interfere with his business, and it was HORRIBLE working with him. It was just the two of us; needless to say, I didn't last long. I hate it when people let their personal prejudices into their work.

Wow

I don't claim to know the Bible inside out, but doesn't Christianity teach love, respect, understanding and tolerance? I wonder which Christian values that woman has chosen to have then? You handled the situation very nicely

I think my actions would have been very un-Christian indeed! xxx xxx

Bless your heart! I'm sorry you had to deal with someone like that. I own a grooming salon, and i honestly don't know how someone so rude and judgemental can stay in business! You can come to my shop anytime!!(of course it would be a very long drive)

yup, me too. It's rather sad.

The bible that I read sure didn't say judge everyone and condemn everyone different than you to hell! People, especially those who claim to follow Christ (and I do say claim in this woman's case - a Christian does NOT act like that!!!!), need to learn to let GOD do the judging and zip their big mouths!!! People make me so mad. You handled it a lot better than I would have. I'm pretty shy and quiet for the most part, but with crap like that, I would have flipped out on her, she wouldn't have had a clue what hit her.
