While waiting in the doctor's office the other day I was chatting with two women, one of whom probably saw the Hebrew prayer book in my hand and decided to test me.
She held up a newspaper article about some actor/actress pushing for transgender rights and casually remarked, "Isn't this great?"
When I shook my head and made a face, she said, "Well, I'm not judgmental. I don't buy into that religious nonsense."
There is an all-out war on traditional values nowadays, period.
That was all she had to do to feel self-righteous for the rest of the day, as a trendy social justice warrior. You could have left there, fed lines of the poor at a soup kitchen, tutored little black kids in reading, beat the streets in a clothing drive for the poor, etc, but because you’re doing it for the “wrong” reasons-Christian, or conservative principle, none of it counts. Her attempting to bait you in a chance encounter in a doctor’s office counts more, because her “motives were correct”.
Well, that’s because you’re a bigot, obviously. ;-)
Here’s what people don’t get: acceptance is not tolerance. If I really like Rocky Road ice cream, I’m not “tolerating” it. You have to have at least a minor dislike of something (like Mint Chocolate Chip) to *tolerate* it.
Liberals are actually destroying the concept of tolerance by forcing acceptance.
“When I shook my head and made a face, she said, “Well, I’m not judgmental. I don’t buy into that religious nonsense.”
You should have replied with the truth: “Well, you just judged me.”
“she said, “Well, I’m not judgmental. I don’t buy into that religious nonsense.”
I love it when people say they are non judgmental, then follow that statement up with something that’s completely judgmental. What a hypocritical idiot.
She claims she is not judgmental but she called your cherished religious beliefs nonsense.
