Anyone ever run into this before? What did you do?
All you had to do was get up and leave instead of agonizing over the politeness of how to exit. Nobody forced you to sit there and listen to it. It's clear you and your family have no moral guidance. I can see how being raised a Catholic has got you out of tune with God, that's pretty common. Sure, faith is a personal thing, but we're also commanded to spread the good news. Tell others. That's what they were doing. You make it sound like you were trapped because it makes them sound evil and you appear a victim and we'll feel sorry for you. It's real funny to laugh at the apparent hypocrites who want to tell you something important while sitting in a casino. Well they are as imperfect as the rest of us. Who knows - maybe they go to the casino just to evangelize because they know there are people there like you who need to hear it. It's the message that's important, not the person delivering it. Your rejection of the message does not diminish its truth. Feel free to continue denying God, it is obviously your choice. It is your unalienable right in this great country to have whatever religion you want, including none at all. When you're standing at the final judgement you're going to feel pretty silly remembering how you should have listened, believed, acted, and provided some leadership to your family in this most important area of their lives. Are you going to teach your children about Jesus or let them wander in apathy ? So far, you are lost. If you think your own inner self, your conscience, your innate sense of right and wrong should be your guide, if you think its enough just to be a good person, then you've got it all backwards. Your prolific newsgroup posting over the last several years now has provided some interesting insight into your personality. We know what you look like, where you live, what you like to do, where you like to go, how you earn a living. Isn't it time you quit worshipping the Pathfinder parked out back and sought out some real meaning to why you're here ? Some real guidance in your life ? Pick up the Bible and take another look. That's the real POH. It's especially hard for smart, successful people like yourself to believe that they need Jesus because it makes them accept the fact that they are inadequate and incomplete without Him. Well get used to that concept. From the janitor to the CEO and from the gambler to the hotel owner, that is exactly what we all need. The only difference is in how long it takes each of us to figure it out and make the single most important decision your entire life. To accept Jesus or reject him. It's just between you and Him, nobody else. What is it going to be ? |
