disagree - he could have saved himself the trouble of writing the note - he felt compelled to save them from hell. Look - I think this is all BS, but I am just looking at it from his perspective
He was only doing what he felt he was called to do, but some people are so easily offended that you can't say anything without offending them. But who knows, maybe one day these ladies will remember his words and seek God.

it was still a rude thing to do. if he was so offended he should of showed them the door instead of taking their money. their life is not their business.

so anyone who feels 'called" to tell a stranger they need god is just doing what's right? how would you feel if someone came up to you and told you they didn't like your lifestyle, think you would accept it because they were "called" to it. yes in a word what he did was offensive.
on another note these ladies could already know the word of god.

Let me explain in a way you can understand. Let's say that the guy had reason to believe there was a bomb planted in their car outside - maybe he saw someone messing around with their car, and he thought maybe they planted a car bomb or something. Nutty, maybe, but he believes that to be the case so he warns them - he may be totally wrong, but that's what he believes so he warns them - what is wrong with that? They are fully within their rights to tell him he's full of it, and ignore him.

talk about a stretch he didn't think there was a bomb that would detonate and they would die. he was disgusted by their life style because his religion says it is bad and he felt he should put his big fat nose in their personal business and tell them they were living their life wrong. that in just about everyone's book besides the religious bigots is RUDE

You are free to say that in your opinon it is not right, but it does not change the fact that the guy was only trying to help them.

It would not offend me, especially when it is clear the intent is to help me. If a muslim told me that Christians go to hell, why should that offend me, since he is only telling me what he truly believes.

I thought I could make you understand how christians think - they love others and want to save them - just as if there were a car bomb planted in their car, but you just don't seem to be able to comprehend. Again, I am no longer a Christian, and I think he's full of crap just like you do - but you are bashing this guy whereas, in his mind, he may have been trying to help/save them. I dunno - maybe he was just being a jerk, but to make this conclusion on your part, without knowing this guys heart/mind, is rather presumptuous, to say the least.

just because he was only trying to help them doesn't make it right or less rude. he is as bigoted as a person who would tell an interracial couple their life together was wrong and they should seek out god's word. people like this man is what gives Christians a bad name.
