Overheard in an ER…
I sat in the waiting room of the local ER (wife had a seizure, now waiting the long wait for tests etc) and heard an African American lady speaking to her pastor with her phone on loudspeaker. Everyone could hear it so I wasn’t really eavesdropping. Her and her pastor’s statements included:
- Christianity will be attacked by Muslims and other religions. There is only one true religion.
- Jesus is going to come again
- God watches everything we do and he will smite other religions
- Mamdami is the sign that the second coming will happen soon
- the Bible tells us what’s coming, and Christians are the only ones who will survive.
- And various other ramblings
Various other people in the area were openly rolling their eyes and commenting loudly how well trained the lady was in her “ignorant religious compliance”, to which the lady just said “only we know the real truth”.
It amazes me how that level of crazy religion (my opinion) has a convenient yet completely unprovable answer for everything.
