I accept you as you are and therefor I'm more careful suzisco wrote:LOL Stuart.
I have often thought that my evangelical colleagues have used god for too readily as their reason for talking to me. God made this situation so they can talk to me about god. Not that they can just quietly enjoy my company and accept me for who i am. Its a shame really and in my opinion a sad indictment of their life that they will be judged in the afterlife by how many people they have converted and not sitting back and just enjoying the moment or just enjoying my company. Its even sadder when they tell me that i won't be saved. Saved for what i ask? Eternal life they say, I say but there is no eternal life, when we die we go forever and if you are lucky you will live on in memory. Its only mans vanity that does not allow that when he dies he is in fact gone forever. They look at me shake their heads sadly and tell me that i just have to believe in god and all will be revealed to me.
I admire my colleagues determination however i am saddened at the fact that they can't and won't accept me as I am. Also very sad that my belief can't be respected.
