I
finally met some crazy Christians! So, my friend and I went on this
double date the other day. We were on our way to get some Tibetan
dumplings when the two girls asked to stop at the bible shop. Imagine my
shock and surprise because I didn't know them at all(my friend had set
us up) and I was really looking forward to the Tibetan dumplings being
in my mouth. Not to spoil the evening, we stopped at the bible shop.
They went in and came out ten minutes later sying that they just
witnessed a miracle! They had arrived at the shop just as it was closing
and the kindly shopkeeper had let them make a last-minute purchase.
According to the two girls this proved that god is indeed real and
answers prayers.
My friend and I just looked at each other. The
chances of any action tonight were completely destroyed. Well, atleast
we had the dumplings. So we got back into the car and tried to make the
best of things. Suddenly, one of the girls started giving a long
testimonial to the reverend over the phone concerning the miracle that
had just happened. The other girl, seeing my obviously disgusted face,
decided to "share her faith" with me, which rapidly descended into a
debate about the veracity of the bible and ended in her praying for my
soul and me wanting to strangle her. All this while my agnostic friend
was interjecting with vigorous shouts of "Buddhism rocks!!!"
Incidentally, those turned out to be the worst Tibetan dumplings I have
ever had. My friend and I went home courting headaches and upset
tummies, all alone. Needless to say, we won't be seeing those two girls
again.
Amazingly, both of those girls are assistant professors
of Sociology at a good university. If I was religious, I would be
praying for their students.
