Have You Lost Jesus?

[Izret101]

So, I'm standing at a bus stop.
As SUV load of well meaning, bible thumping fanatical nut cases, pull
up in a big gas guzzling SUV with frantic smiles plastered on their
smug faces!
A middle aged professionally dressed woman rushes forward...She takes
my arm and with trembling voices she asks....
"Have you found Jesus?"
Her eyes plead with an urgency that is out of proportion to a bus
stop.

Now normally I would have just politely declined the sermon, free
religious paperwork, that such folk pawn off on unsuspecting by-
standers.
But, unfortunately for her, today, she was the fourth Car or SUV to
accost me in the last 9 minutes.
So by now I'm beginning to wonder what the heck is wrong with these
people.
I mean if it's not the Church of Christ, it is the Jehovah's
Witnesses or the Holy Rollers.
Now it was this SUV of Christians!
Can a simple Druid get no peace?
So as calmly as I could muster, without being to sarcastic,
I reply, not shouting to loud!

"You people lost him, again??"

The woman looked so confused.
This is not the response she was hoping for, and she needed to
regroup.
She started taking deep breaths; I think she still intended to launch
into her sales pitch for her God, and church, paying no heed to the
concept that I might not be into being converted.

So I decide to not let her get going, so I launch into a speech of my
own...
"What is wrong with you Christians?
Every time I turn around you've lost this guy called Jesus again!
Do I look like a tracker!?"
I hit her with a glare of accusation.
"I mean really!" I take a measured breath.
"How do you expect to have anyone follow a deity that you can't even
find?"

The poor woman looks so stunned.
This isn't going so good.
Panicked she looks desperately to the SUV...
Surely one of the men can help....
Undaunted I press on...

"Maybe the problem is with you people...
I mean Muslims never seem to loose there deity!
Come to think of it neither do Jews!
Nor have I ever heard of Pagans of any kind losing one of their
100,000 GODs or Goddess not once."

I look at the man getting out of the SUV.
He was all smiles.

"I realize you people used to burn people like me at the stake...
What was that about... deity even?
I may be a Pagan-heathen, but I have never ever gotten up in the
morning panicked that
I couldn't find any of my GODs, Goddess or the AWEN for that matter.
They are always right where they should be...
In the fire of my candles,
Oh fire, that is what some of us call my spirit,
and the Air around us, Air is that I breathe,
Earth, that I stand on, Earth is also what makes up my body,
and what Water you may ask, water is of my spring, and Water is also
in my blood.
I never feel abandoned from by my deities, for they are part of me!
So just how can they every get lost from me!"
"Oh of course, you Christians are not much fun, are you?"
I continue. "And we do not see things the same!"
By now they are all out of the SUV, Befuddled, aghast, and at a loss
for words.
"Of course," I offer trying to give them some defense for losing
Jesus.
"He could have left due to your religious indifferences,
or persecution, like so many others.
If I remember correctly He was Jewish.
So if you are really so eager to find him..."
I smile gently to soften the blow.
"Check the nearest synagogue.
He's probably in there.
Also you folks should try and remember that this is America,
Where freedom of religion means ALL religions.
And some of us might hope freedom from some religions."
Then all fell quit!

Slowly they climb back into their SUV and began to drive away.
I was still standing at the bus stop...
No pamphlets, no bible, no dogma.
I still haven't found Jesus, do not want to,
but I haven't lost him either. How about you?

Religion is a great tool for controlling stupid people with.

But I don't want anything to do with stupid people.

I leave God alone, and he leaves me alone.

[BadEnoughDude]

That's sort of the way I feel as well. I consider myself agnostic, but I don't feel the need to let everyone know all the time.

I'm comfortable with my beliefs. That's all I care about.

Next time I see someone like that im going to tell them they should be mauled by jesus.

Well that explains where the dinosaurs went...

[Tynstar]

That was awesome.

[FibroFreak]

That was f*cking GREAT!

there is this kid in my grade that is crazy about religion. I told him that I don't belive in God with a capital g, that I hate all this shit that religion tells us. They make him seem evil, good, understanding, and all that other crap. I just don't think that we just randomly popped up here. Someone had to create this universe.

I just don't think that we just randomly popped up here. Someone had to create this universe.

I believed in evolution until I saw something in biology.  it was a video with different theories about how the earth started, how human life started, and how life in general started.

according to this video, life started about 3.8 billion years ago.  a huge meteorite crashed into the earth, causing a chunk of it to fall of and go into orbit AKA the moon.

it also had fossilized lipids on it (fat cells), that, when mixed with water came to life, which eventually evolved into cyanobacteria, which evolved into a bunch of other bacterium/cells, which takes us to early sea species, some of them moved onto land and adapted into mammals which takes us to today.

I thought about it for a while, and I dont see how lipid's evolved into fossilized bacteria.  what made them do that?

and also, if thats true, that probably means we are descendants of some ancient alien civilization.

I am honestly shocked and surprised. THank you.
