They’re Fools for Christ Sake
I know it probably isn’t fair, but when I am in public and I hear someone prosthelyzing I typically think that that person is worthy of a scholarship to the laughing academy. To be honest, I extend that even further than to just those who are prosthelyzing.
Today while out for lunch someone at a table near us was randomly and repeatedly singing verses of rock and roll gospel. She may have been singing to herself, but she was singing at the same volume level most people speak in a normal conversation. There might be 20 seconds between lines, or their could be 2 or 3 minutes.The quantity of noise coming out of this woman was inversely relative to distance her fork traveled. I’m pretty sure she was insane.
Seriously, most people who sing aloud in public (who aren’t being paid and/or otherwise expected to do so) are. I’m going to extend that same statement for people who approach complete strangers to discuss the correlation of their Bible reading and the fact that they have yet to be striken down by their loving god.
I was stumbling through youtube and found a video of a University of Florida student who apparently had been asked by the Lord to spread a message. There were no mountains nearby to go tell it on so instead she used the vantage point of her 4th story dorm room window.
Maybe I’m wrong (along with the police and EMTs who carted her off). Who am I to say she really didn’t hear the voice of God? Maybe she didn’t hear a voice but was in some other way mandated by her creator to spread the message that you aren’t supposed to masturbate? Maybe the guy at the donut shop and his devoted Bible reading did convince God to instead suffer Turkey an earthquake instead of leveling his house?
Maybe I doubt them and write them off as crazy because I’m jealous because I don’t have a direct line to the big guy upstairs… Of the many times I’ve shouted out the window about masturbation, only one time was it because a bearded man told me to do so. And his name was Dave and I’m pretty sure he isn’t a supernatural entity. And as for threatening others with newspaper headlines, I reserve that action soley for the family pet.
