Confrontation with an anti...use the Bible

While at the local gasoline dispensary ($1.55 a gal.), filling up the bottomless tank of my urban assault veh. (Chev. Suburban). A matronly old woman pulled up behind me and waited her turn. Glancing her way, I smiled and gave a friendly nod. I noticed all she did was frown and shake her head. I thought that she impatient, waiting for me to finish filling my tank (it takes several minutes). I happened to look at her a couple of more times during the process, and each time she frowned and shook her head. When I was done filling up, and was putting on the gas cap, she stuck her head out the window and remarked "How can you blaspheme the name of the Lord by putting his name along side of Charlton Heston?". She was obviously referring to my "Heston is my Pres." bumper sticker, which just happens to be next my Jesus fish. At that point I quoted her a couple of bible verses, One of which Jesus Christ tells his disciples to go armed. The other our Lord refers to an armed homeowner. Well, at this point the woman grunted and rolled up her window. Luke 11:22 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: Luk 22:35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. Luk 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Don't really know her reaction, her window was up and she didn't say another word. But she did look lik she had a mouth full of sourballs.
 
She sounds like too many people I know. The one thing they recall from the bible is you are forgiven. Translated it means “I’m forgiven, I can do anything I want”. No kidding folks I really know people like this. :(
 
I am constantly amused by Christians who seem to think that the God of the Bible is all lovey-dovey and nonviolent. Have they even READ the Bible???
 
Have the same problem with some members of our church - fortunately the pastor has a more, ah, proactive attitude.

I find the belief that anyone who believes in God/The Bible/Jesus must also be passive to be unbelievably hypocritical.

Didn't the Israelites in the Old Testament kill a few thousand people on God's command? Didn't God remove the less alert "soldiers" from at least one battle.

There is a time for peace and there is a time for war.

There is a time for chocolate, and there is a time for... um, well, MORE chocolate.
 
What do these people think God did to the sodomites, kiss them goodnite?

He nuked them into orbit!

(The meek shall inherit the earth).

To be meek, is to walk softly and carry a large caliber handgun and some spare ammo.
