Bugger off, satan!

I thought I'd share with you a "pleasant" (that's me being sarcastic) experience I had yesterday afternoon now that I've had some time to reflect...

Upon leaving school around 4:45 in the afternoon, I walked out to my car which was parked very close to the main building and in plain view of heavy road traffic (it was in what many would call a "great" parking spot). As I approached my vehicle from behind I noticed something wasn't right. Arriving closer, I found that someone had vandalized my car - IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! What they did was the most surprising - no tires slashed, no broken windows to break in and steal anything. No, instead someone had painstakingly removed my Christian symbol (a "walking" Darwin critter that was engulfed with a Christian fish symbol that had the word "Truth" written on the inside) and with their key etched the words "NO GOD" permanently into my car paint.

For a split second I was miffed. Do you know how hard it was for me to find that symbol and now it was gone??? The interesting thing was that my feeling was more annoyed than angry; and then I laughed. Yes, LAUGHED! How ironic it was that someone was trying to ram their Darwinism/atheist belief down my throat by decimating my property. Oh yeah, THAT was going to turn me on to their belief. What did they think, that because they ripped a $3.00 plastic icon off my car and scratched something idiotic in my paint I would stop and think "Gosh, maybe they're right, I shouldn't be a Christian. Maybe there isn't a God..."? COME ON! I laughed, too, because of the fact that they felt that (in anger of my peaceful statement on my car) they should combat it with violence by destroying property. As I drove home yesterday I conversed with my YAWEH and had to smile as I said out loud "Gosh, Dad, I guess satan must be getting pretty desperate."

What a great approach to a very ignorant person. I can't believe that people are so angry about God that it comes down to the destruction of property. Shows their ignorance, i guess. Great way to handle it!! Em~
