I was watching a TV program a few weeks ago about a women who had her face ripped off.A team of a dozen or so surgeons and nurses spent I believe 14 hours doing one of the first face transplants..The woman spent alot of time going to each one thanking them for giving her- her life back.Then in the next instant she destroyed everything she said with the following statement "and most of all I would like to thank god for giving you the knowledge and skill to perform this.
Well if looks were bullets a few of the Doctors would have shot her..She just nullified everything they accomplished by giving credit to something that does not exist.
I know how they felt.It has been done to me many times in my life and even if you try to educate a christian to the fact that they are making a derogatory remark to you they simply do not give a shit(I was going to say dam)because it has the word god in it that makes OK.
One thought comes to my mind.Where I used to live in the winter I was up before the storm was over and I would plow a few people out on the way to my shop.Never charged a penny.This one old lady everytime I got done would never say thank you to me directly.It was always along the line of(she would look up ) thank you god (sometimes jesus) for giving him a good heart to help me..I finally could not stand it and said to her-god never told me to do anything I did it myself,still she persisted god did but you did not know it..Well the next few times I just went right by and to my shop.Just a reminder I never charged her a cent.She came in and declared" how come you did not plow me out.I looked at her and said god never told me too.She said why thats crazy.I said well you had better go talk to god cause I am not plowing you until he tells me.I never really did get any apology from her which is really what I wanted,but she was overheard telling someone the guy that charged her $20 bucks to plow must work for devil.All I ever asked for was thank you christians
