I Hate People

People who know me best, know this is my mantra. It may not be true. But I say it. I say it often. Mostly when I stressed. Or when I really want to just cuss and swear but I think better of it. It's a good stress reliever... saying it over and over again. Sometimes I'll throw in a stupid. .. as in ... I hate stupid people. But mostly it's just people. This week has been one of those weeks when I realized I really DO hate people. Ok not reeeeeaaaalllly but I'd like to say that I do.

I haven't been to church in a long time, until recently. I think I'm on a streak... a month and a half. Someone should really give me an award. But I digress. Point is... the things that kept me out of church were people. Stupid people. People that I hate. Not necessarily ONE person per say but people in general. And I think it doesn't really have to do with "Church" people I think it has to do with "Christians" in general. I deal with a lot of "Christians" in my line of work, and uggghhh, some of them..... to the moon Alice!!!! I don't think Christians realize how much damage they do in the name of Christ, and it drives me nuts.

I got a letter in the mail last week at work from people who have never met me and it was rebuking in Christian love --Bible Verses to back it up--- KJV I'm sure, about how we have to be accountable for every word out of our mouths, and accusing me of perhaps... flirting we'll say with my coworker. Ok.. the direct quote was "inappropriate sexual humor." Now... I"m not going to lie to you, I'm a big ole perv. I still giggle when someone says BUT... and then there is a dramatic pause. I told you... I"m like an 8th grader stuck in a middle age body. Anyway point is... EEEWWWWW I have never once even said ANYTHING to this particular person that could in ANY way be construed as perverted. Well obviously I"m wrong because someone did... but wow... I mean they must of REAAAALLLLY been reaching.

I just find it humorous and somewhat sad when people think that they are somehow allowed to call someone out on their dress, attitude, hair length, or in this instance verbiage, and come up with some "verse" to back it up. I mean you can twist any Bible verse into meaning whatever you want it to. And it makes my head spin. But --I know insert giggle here--- BUT I don't think that THAT is the way God would like you to behave.

I think, and no I don't have any Bible verse to back this up, but I think that we should lead by example. If you have an issue I don't think that shoving a Bible verse down someones throat is going to get the job accomplished... but perhaps if you SHOW them. As in your general overall behavior, attitude, actions. I also think that we should afford a human the courtesy of making up their own mind. Free will.... ever heard of it? Read that dang Bible of yours, I'm pretty sure it's in there.

Point being... Until the day I figure out how to deal with these kind of people, I think the best thing to do is roll my eyes... bite my tongue and say

I HATE PEOPLE.
