Don’t quote Scripture, don’t pray in Jesus name? Them’s is fightin’ words, Lady.

Really not that different from civilian life. I had a customer who liked to bait me with political controversies. I saw the man once a day for years, so I’d talk to him freely, only lightly mentioning the Scripture as a nod to our cultural heritage (which is true). One day he wasn’t happy with some response and blurted out “you’re just a Bible-thumping moron!” and stormed off.

He apologized the next day and we were cool from then on, only we were relegated to chit chat (which I hate). As a believer one has to learn to hold their fire. God’s revealed Word is unwelcome in so many cases. Some, such as my customer, can’t bear to hear the mention of it, let alone Him.

Sorry but I’m not sure that I’d want that person as a customer. I’ve fired customers before for being anti-faith. They don’t need to be my faith but if they ridicule all faith they’re not someone that I choose to work with.
