I guess I can't wrap my brain around how they can be so stuck in one point of view. Some people need to learn history. I'm reminded of a Treppenwitz post titled "The sweet diversity of the incense".Kiwi the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656977260755719619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20991778.post-1165455893400257962006-12-06T19:44:00.000-06:002006-12-06T19:44:00.000-06:00Kiwi, there are alot of clueless folks out there w...Kiwi, there are alot of clueless folks out there who can't wrap their brains around the concept of some people not being Christians.<BR/><BR/>I had a lady come in today who asked me if I was "one of those people who doesn't believe in Jesus." Granted, she doesn't have a lot going on upstairs. And she wasn't being malicious either. She just couldn't understand how I could not believe in God. <BR/><BR/>I told her I do believe in God, I'm just not Christian. She had trouble with this (mind you, I wear a big freaking Yarmulke to work, that's why she asked in the first place). She wanted to know if I go to Church.<BR/><BR/>I told her I go to synagogue and pray to God twice a day, everyday. She was still very disappointed in me.PsychoToddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874353280798371891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20991778.post-1165386207326157082006-12-06T00:23:00.000-06:002006-12-06T00:23:00.000-06:00After all the kid said, I CAN'T BELIEVE she wished...After all the kid said, I CAN'T BELIEVE she wished him Merry Christmas! I smacked my forehead! I'm a Christian, and I think it's silly to disallow the word "Christmas", but if you *know* somebody celebrates differently, get a clue!Kiwi the Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656977260755719619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20991778.post-1165280896407915902006-12-04T19:08:00.000-06:002006-12-04T19:08:00.000-06:00Anonymous and Ayelet - thanks!

It is very satisfying, though, to know that they're looking for joy in the same places I am (family togetherness, community, special times). I hope this is a value they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives.Sheynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349125682104236452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20991778.post-1165273319884222452006-12-04T17:01:00.000-06:002006-12-04T17:01:00.000-06:00You know you're doing something right if the kids ...You know you're doing something right if the kids get a g'shmak out of their Jewishness.
