"You're going to hell!"

[MoonCat]

This is why I never discuss my spiritual beliefs either with customers or with my co-workers. Let them think whatever they like.

Get yourself a T-shirt like mine & wear your pentagram with it.I can pretty much guarantee nobody'll bother you about it

is it wrong that when i see that shirt i immediately start thinking "i have that one, and that one, and that one, and that one...."

[Aethian]

Next time some idiot pulls that excretment, just say "Matthew 7" If they look puzzled, ask sweetly 'don't you read your bible? Matthew 7 Judge not lest you be judged. Matthew 7:2-5 "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged'

Only thing you need to remember. lol

Honestly that's my favorite quote right there.

[crazyofficeclerk]

I usually respond to the "going to hell" comment by responding..." Oh yes and whoever gets there first saves the seats" That usually stumps them and by then I can change topics or move away from the nasty person.

Another fun bible quote for this situation is Exodus 22:21, "Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt."

The King James version of Matthew 7 is very awkwardly worded - presumably you quote from a more modern version.

A good follow up is Matthew 6:5.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites
are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and
in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Every Wiccan I've ever known has told me their faith believes neither in Satan nor in Hell. Those are Christian constructs, not part of their faith. Many Wiccans I've known believe in reincarnation. So my answer to this bitch might have included,

"I'm not worried about hell since it doesn't exist." (Don't say you don't believe in it; the obvious response is, well hell believes in you).

/Insert random useless trivia.

A lot of people confuse a pentagram with 1 point up with a Sigil of Baphomet which is a Pentagram with one point pointing down. The Sigil is a symbol for Satanism, while the normal pentagram is not.

Christians are believed to have used it also, as a representation of the five wounds of christ (head, hands, both feet), and various other representations.

Not to mention Mormons (A Christian sect) still use it.

Also, Christianity is supposedly against graven images, so wearing a cross or such could just as easily be conisdered 'wrong'. *shrugs*
/end random useless trivia

~ When it absolutely has to be random..trust the Mytical brand.

Just shows how little some people know about some things huh?

It is nobody's business what you decide to wear, or why. Now some might say 'what about revealing clothing, etc'..I say go for it. Of course the laws of the area might disagree. Heck, somebody wants to walk around nude? Wouldn't bother me..though some I would definity avoid looking at .

I don't believe in New Jersey, but I've been there.

Hmmm...actually, I guess I have been to hell, then. BUT I'VE NEVER GOING BACK!!!

Leela: "Who would've thought hell would really exist? And that it would be in New Jersey?"
Fry: "Actually..." *gets interrupted*

I sued Delta 'cause they sold me a ticket to New Jersey. I went there and it sucked.

[protege]

Depends where you go in Jersey--the northern part sucks ass, but the southern tip (especially around Cape May ) is quite nice.

My wife grew up in NJ and her family still lives there. My only experience with NJ prior to visiting her family for the first time was going to Newark at night. All I remembered from that was endless factories and refineries and blasts of flame shooting into the air (I swear it was Mordor).

She lived in the lake Shawnee area in the Northern part of the state bordering New York. I couldn't believe it was NJ; horses and cows, rows of corn and vegetables, barns and roadside farm stands.

Thanks to your comment I now know that there are actually other areas of NJ that aren't hell on earth (I had pretty much written off the state from Newark on south until now).

Reminds me of the vacation I took last year to Jamaica. We were in a hot tub with a couple that were born again Christians. We actually talked about religion (my wife and I were both raised as Catholics but lapsed long, long ago), politics (they were conservatives and we were liberals) and sex (I had to speak up when they started in on how wrong same sex marriage was - if my Uncle had not been married to his husband before he died suddenly from undiagnosed stage IV lung cancer things such as the house and insurance would not have gone quite so easily) without any yelling or screaming or really any temper at all.

We were congratulating ourselves on being so tolerant of each others beliefs when the wife of the couple casually says, "I mean...I DO think you all are going to hell but it's nice that we can sit here and talk and have fun and such!”

*sigh*

And then they have to throw out such an offensive comment like that and ruin it all!

Makes you wonder if the intent was to be offensive, being as something along the lines of "I mean, I don't agree with your views personally and feel very differently, but I can see your point of view and we can sit here and talk and have fun and such!" would have sufficed!

Newark doesn't quite have as much charm as Mordor.

There is much farmland in New Jersey. As much as I make fun of the place, I have said many times, and will continue to say repeatedly, that you cannot find a better tomato than a New Jersey Beefsteak. These are the kinds of tomatoes that other tomatoes envy and wish they were. They will spoil you for other tomatoes.

Newark really is about the worst part of the state. There are nice spots....despite that revoltingly stupid tv show, the Jersey Shore is pretty freakin' awesome.

I really have no problem with this. She was merely expressing her opinion, and rather politely, I think. I have been told such things before by people, and I never take offense. One of my best friends "knows" that if I don't accept Jesus that I will not go to Heaven, but he doesn't browbeat me with it. And this woman was not doing any browbeating, merely saying that while she "knows" this to be true, she does enjoy the chance to calmly exchange viewpoints.

As I said, I have no problem with this.

Far better than the people that are flaming douchebags about it, as in the OP.
