Terry,
I want to say two things:
1. I think I am familiar with the book store chain you work for, and they are AWESOME!!! one of the reasons it was worth moving down here...well besides family reasons hahah;
2. Yes, I think maybe you did over react a wee bit.
However, at least you kept your temper. That is easier said than done. Kudos to you for that.
And as for some of the posts bashing all Christians as freaky push people that are full of piety...yeah...that is definately a sweeping statement.
I have known many christians that are not like that AT ALL...although, I think I find it a lot more down here in the bible belt of Texas.
So, in Terry's defense, he may get that a lot more than some of you in other parts of the country. Up in New Hampshire where I am from, you get a little bit of it, but usually it is from a Witness...not the other christian groups. Even the Baptists are usually well behaved up there hahah (my mom's family is baptist and her brother a minister. They will talk to her, but never her kids about it)
I do find it interesting when people get offended when someone offers to pray for them. I can only speak for myself, but I am not sure why someone offering goodwill is offensive.
Regarding Andi... I would like to say that I have met her before, and Little Toe, and I found neither one of them as an "in your face" Christian. In fact, I think they both give Christianity a good name...not that I am going to join the club, but still, I just had to say that. If either one of them offered to pray for me, I would be touched, even though I am not a "believer".
