Rude People at Church Family Pool Party

Ok, so the Christian church in our community had an event today, right? It was a family pool party at the community church. So we get our kids ready & head out to the pool, we're circling the parking lot because of course it's full! So there's this car in front of me waiting for this cute little lady to get out of her spot, at least, that's what I thought! His car didn't have the right or left blinker on, it was completely stopped on the left side of the parking, right behind the little lady who was putting her stuff in the trunk & then walked to her car to leave.

By this time I see that another car on the right side of the parking is getting ready to leave, so I pass the car that was stopped in front of me & start backing up into the spot of the car that just left. Then, the man in the car that I just passed honks at me. So I look out my window & say, "I thought you were going to park in that one." But he says no & points at the one where I was about to park. By this time the cute little old lady is leaving already, ok? So, why doesn't he just park in that one? What's the difference between the spot on the right or the left? And why didn't he have his blinker on to begin with? That way people would've known where he was going to park right from the beginning!!!

So, anyways, I just start going back on reverse so he could park there & I thought, "No big deal, I'll just park in the other one then." Boy, was I wrong!!!!! The other car behind me starts honking like crazy, so I turn back & there's this big, huge, African American lady hanging halfway out of her car window screaming something like, "Na-ah! He's going to park there & I'm going to park on that one!" I saw how huge she was & how one parking space can make someone go from "Mrs. Church going Christian family mom" to "Mrs. Evil" in 5 seconds, so I was like, "This is not even worth it!" and I just went to look for another parking space.

My husband said, "Church people for you!" It was hard to get him to even go to a church event & now Christians behaving like this??? Seriously, what is wrong with them? My husband even said, "Nice to see that this is the way adults behave at a family event!" But honestly, the African American lady just made me laugh cause it was so funny to see her barely being able to hang out her window! The thing that was pretty messed up was the sadness in our kids eyes cause not only did they have to see & hear what went on, but we didn't end up finding a spot anywhere & had to go back home.

The whole experience just made me think of how people of every religion are always saying that their religion is the real one, the only one, that only people of their religion will go to heaven & things like that. But, do they really think that just because they call themselves a "Christian" they're going to heaven? So, let me get this right? I can go out there & be a total jerk to people & get away with my rude behavior, but I can call myself a "Christian" & get away with it & go straight to Heaven, right? Wow!!!!! I'd rather be a nice person, who's considerate & respectful of others, than a Christian like that.

Now, don't get me wrong... I'm not saying all Christians are the same, I know that there are very good, real Christians out there. People who truly have a personal relationship with God & do deserve to go to heaven in the end! But these so called Christians I came across today, made me be thankful that I have not become a member of that church! I in no way want to be associated with those kinds of people. - Amen!!! -
