stand up for yourself man! if someone pulled that on me, there would be some jew on whitey violence.

however since you are working just cut him off abruptly and say something like:
"excuse me sir, before you further insult me, let me find someone else to help you" and go get your manager or maybe a 6 foot tall 250 black man to assist him.

make sure take no sh!t from morons like that. its the absolute worst at work because you have a to behave in a professional manner, however notifying that douchebag that he had insulted you is professional enough not to have your boss give you sh!t. :)

He was a sinful jew in the past? The guy telling the story? I thought Christians weren't supposed to believe in rebirth and what not.


I think he means earlier in his life, before he was converted to christianity.

Uh, I don't claim to be an expert on Judiasm but Jews and Christians are a bit different. It's the Same basic theology but there's one fundamental difference. Christians believe that Jesus was the Messiah (Savior) while Jews see him as just a great figure in the Bible and the true Messiah hasn't come yet. I think that's the way it goes and I'm sure if I'm wrong someone here will remind me over and over again how stupid I am and that I should shut my pie hole and stick my head back up my butt.

Oh, and yeah Christians (and Jews probably) don't believe in reincarnation.

Again. if I'm wrong then I know someone will let me know.

Sounds like Burt from Soap. If you would like reasons to believe that Y'Shua is the Messiah, PM me. My wife is Jewish and I have been through the dick-pricking ceremony.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Christians are big on "evangelism". They don't mean harm. They're taught that they are the select few who know the truth, and they need to help everyone else out by showing them the truth too, so they don't burn in hell forever. So they mean well, but they don't see it from the other person's point of view.

I am a Christian myself, and sometimes wonder what is truth, and what is merely believing what you've been taught since birth. I mean, am I so lucky to just happen to be born to a family who practices the true religion? Do I believe what I believe because I know it to be true, or because it's all I've been taught and am afraid to think differently? For those reasons, I choose not to try and convert anyone. Just as much as I wouldn't change my religion on a dime, I doubt my Jewish friends would either. I have great religious discussions with Jewish, Muslim, and Hindu friends at work, and we don't judge eachother. And even though we obviously don't believe eachothers religion, we respect it, and don't try to change it.

When I'm working in retail, people like to slip me pieces of paper saying to come be saved and go to such and such a church. I have my own church thank you very much.

You could start carrying pieces of paper to hand out to them that inform them of that. :) I'd love to see the look on their faces. :D

Well, if you would wear your goddamned Star of David armband like you are supposed to, this might not happen. :D

you had so many opportunities to hack that guy off, and you missed them all. At the very least when he walked away you should have flailed your arms in the air with your eyes closed and chanted 'can you see me now'. Or that he was your great-grandfather reincarnated as a hopeless redneck, sent to CC to torment you for your eating of bacon as a child.

I wonder why they're trying to "save" you in the first place. You did kill Christ, after all. ;)

There's some freakin wierd people out there dude. I have to deal with people sometimes and it sucks, yet for the most part people are very nice. Maybe if you get your name tag abbreviated to "Josh" that may deter some people...

Next time it happens, pull out a printout of this, and educate him about the cult of Cthulhu ;)

Tell him you will convert if he allows you to at least cicumsize him first to experience true joy. After all, what's good for the goose ;) :D
