Words Engraved
Someone sent this to me via email . I thought it was worthy of sharing…
Here is an added Chinese version with subtitles:
7 Eleven Jesus
A couple of nights ago, after an evening of unsuccessful sleep attempts, I decided to take a drive to my local 7 Eleven to pick up some milk and hot cocoa mix. As I grabbed my items, I noticed an older black man behind the counter waiting to ring me up. He struck up a conversation with me as I approached the register:
“Hi there! You find everything OK?”
“Yep, thank you.”
“Kinda late. What brings you here at this hour?”
“Just having some trouble sleeping. Thought some hot chocolate would help.”
“Ohhhh, I know how that goes. Just trust in the Lord and everything will come into perspective.”
Wait… What? What did the lord have to do with my inability to sleep? But I wasn’t in the mood to get into a debate with the 7 Eleven guy at 2:30 AM so I politely thanked him and pursed my lips.
While I was at the counter, another girl came in and also mentioned she was having trouble sleeping. The clerk pointed her to some “sleepy time” drink in the back and swore by it. I decided to try it myself so I went to the back of the store to grab it and overheard the clerk reiterating the same lord spiel he gave me. By the time I returned to the counter, he was telling the girl that he was going to send Jesus her way. He pointed at me and said, “And you too!” to which I replied, “I appreciate it but I think I’ll pass.”
He looked SHOCKED – like I had just murdered his first born. “Wha.. what does that mean?”, he stuttered.
“I’m an Atheist. I don’t believe in god.”
The girl next to me – “I’m Agnostic”
The clerk was flabbergasted. “When you’re sick and dying, who will you pray to?”
“I won’t. When it’s my turn to go, I’ll just go.”
The girl next to me – “Yeah, pretty much.”
He politely thanked me and the other girl for our patronage and said goodnight but he had the look of a child who had just been told that Santa wasn’t real.
Should I be offended that there are those that insist on sharing god with me without caring to know whether I’m a believer or not? – or do I view it as someone simply saying “hello” in a language I don’t understand? I’m torn between the two. What do YOU think?
Support Planned Parenthood
The U.S. House of Representatives has just voted to bar Planned Parenthood health centers from all federal funding for birth control, cancer screenings, HIV testing, and other lifesaving care.
Please sign this letter to congress to help stop this insanity.
