Here's why I have trouble believeing in God

[Penguinfan]

On my way to the Pens game last night and had to stop for gas. While there some moron in a pick up truck pulls his POS up to a pump with the tank on the wrong side.

After trying to stretch the pump across the bed of the truck with no luck he decides he's gotta move the truck.

Jumps in and hammers it, squeeling tire in a complete circle around the lot. No reguard for the people walking inside to pay for thier gas whatsoever.

In his haste the genius pulls back to the exact same pump, the exact same way he started, again, the pump doesn't reach. You'd think squeeling around the lot like a jack ass would shrink the width of the bed of the truck, but alas, time for one more spin around the lot.

This time he correctly sizes up the situation and parks with the tank on the right side, good job Jethro.

All the while he is MF'ing loud enough for everyone to hear, his next challenge goes about as well as the first as he can't figure out why the pump won't start pumping gas. Logically he hits the start button about 30 times before a voice comes over the speaker alerting him to the fact that the staion was 24 hour prepay.

He walks over to the door MF'ing everyone and everything and literally throws a $5 bill inside and scream "FIVE BUCKS ON PUMP TWO".

Now, he threatens everyone within earshot that he will kick their ass if they laugh at him. This guy was about my size, and I'll be honest here, I don't administer many ass kickings to the general public.

Jethro gets his $5 in gas and speeds off spinning tire as far as he can. I can only assume he was in a hurry to try his luck at the next gas station since gas is $2.69 a gallon here and I doubt he's getting real far on that sawbuck he tossed in the door.

At that point all I could say to my wife is everytime I hear about one of the decent people in the world dying of cancer or a child getting sick I think of assholes like this breathing fresh air and can only conclude God does not exist.

I thought a sawbuck was $10 and a fin was $5 :shrug:

 

[The Sponge]

Probably the type of guy who if he could have gotten the gas first and then paid he would have gotten a fill up and dashed before paying the cash.

 

[AR182]

my former sales manager used to always say...

"god loves stupid people because he made an awful lot of them"

and i guess he's one of them.

 

[StevieD]

Hard to figure what God is thinking most of the time.

 

[Dr. Fade]

Isn't this pretty typical for a Pittsburgh Citizen? I would have thought you'd be used to this sort of deal by now :shrug:

 

[Penguinfan]

You could be right, it was definatly a $5 he threw at the tennant though.

I should brush up on my lingo before trying to use it,

I expect much, MUCH better from you 6/5.

I expect much, MUCH better from you 6/5.

likewise, I expect better posts from you! :nono: If I wasn't going to believe in God, or if my faith was ever challenged, it would be from seeing babies with AIDS or kids killed by drunk drivers not some idiot at the gas station who would have gone down with one punch to the beer belly had he come after me after I told him to quit swearing and acting a fool in front of my family.

 

[Eddie Haskell]

AR:

I am personally offended that you called God stupid. Of all people at this forum I would have thought that you would have more respect for God, whether or not he exists. In addition, I think you have disrespected his followers, aka, his flock (sheep).

May the Lord have mercy on your soul. As it was in the beginning, now, and forever after, amen.

I think, maybe, you read too much into it. You seem to be bit upset with me recently, not sure why, but I apolagize for whatever it was.

Ya think....................

Ya think....................

Some of us don't get sick of having God shoved down our throats every where we turn. Its a personal choice.........just like drugs and alcohol and all other dependent behavior..........keep it out of the public eye. This coming Sunday I'm gonna be doing most of the catering fer Easter fer my Evangelical relatives cuz if i leave it up to them we are gonna have near meatless Lasagna or sausage seconds. I like Steak, Shrimp, King Crab Legs, and BBQ Ribs..yep they all will be on the Menu.but as every year I'm gonna have to muzzle myself and listen to them thank the Lord for the Bounty and not the Supreme Being that went 12-3 in NCCAA Playoffs to be able to provide the feast.

whatever. You've proved time and again what a racist idiot you are, but that menu does sound quite good.
