What Do Christians Think Of This?
« on: December 23, 2015, 03:27:01 PM »
I saw in my library the other day an eastern/Chinese looking guy of around 50-ish walk up to a pretty young woman, take a cross hanging from his neck by a chain and thrust it into her face. He got his face inches from hers, glared into her eyes and said, "God gave you your beauty!" Then smartly walked off......?

Sounds like harassment.

And why are you asking the Christians here?  Save for the involvement of a cross on a chain - a very common form of jewellery, even today - do you have any evidence that he was a Christian?

If he was a Christian, then I'd suggest that he was being highly obnoxious.  Harrassment wouldn't even touch it.

By the way - legally - does one have to do something more than once for it to be deemed harrassment?
Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

In the context of shoving the cross in her face and saying "God gave you your beauty", I think it is pretty obvious that he was a Christian

We're all a bit loony to a degree, it sounds to me he was a bit further over to the loony side of average than most,
he made her jump no doubt but without doing much more harm than that.

Any chance of a picture? For research of course, the girl not him.

Of course he was a Christian. Put the evidence together : The Christian cross plus what he said.

What's a typical Christian? Who is qualified to say what a Christian is and what isn't? You Vlad?

No one knows what constitutes a real Christian so if someone says they are a Christian then they are one. Just as ISIS are Muslims because they say they are even though all the twats are trying to negate this position.

That comment shows the sign of desperation as it doesn't make sense with regard to my first comment.

But as for my second comment, I have heard through the twit vine that this is so.

Obviously wanted to see if she was a vampire    ;D

It's one of those moments when you could deliver a one liner back, in return  ;)

What could she have said to him in return I wonder?

I'd have gone for the repelled vampire act  ;)

You never have a set of "vampire teeth" when you need them ;)

How about garlic or having a look to see if there was a reflection in a handy shop window? In the interests of science of course.

I suppose it would seem like that to the more serious minded.

Several years ago and Asian guy attacked a fellow bus passenger, all the passengers and the driver fled the bus and congregated at the side of the highway and watched. When the RCMP made it there that Asian guy was parading the head of his innocent victim up and down and showing it through the windows. What do you think of that? Well the guy is now out of mental hospital, and I'm sure one day your nutter will be in that type of hospital. That's what I think about you Asian man.

It was day time so he couldn't have been a vampire.

She could have said, "No it's not it is because of my genes, which stemmed from the big bang, so there, vampire features!!!"

The guy is probably medded up but if he ever forgets to take them he'll be back.

In trying to find out who you are I noticed your local time on your profile is that of the UK yet you're in Canada.....? Well so you claim...

I'd say that this is probably more honest a view.

No one knows what constitutes a real Christian so if someone says they are a Christian then they are one.
Sorry, just because someone says they follow a particular philosophy of life doesn't mean that they are really a follower.  One has to know them fairly well, and to be able to compare their behaviour with that associated with that philosophy (whih is why the 'champagne socialists' of the 70s and 80s were such a laughing stock).  I get the impression that you had no idea who this guy was, what his normal behaviour pattern is/was, and that you have made a guess at his philosophical outlook.

I wonder whether she responded with 'Are you saved by the blood of the Lamb?'   ;)

He thrust the Cross into her face, Hope. It put his words into context, that was the whole point of the thrusting of it.

Is it common for Christians to thrust a cross into someone's face?  Can't say that I've ever seen anyone doing it, regardless of their philosophical position.

Again, he could have been a Jehovah's Witness or a Mormen, even, if you really want to stick to the cross motif.

But if there is no universal acknowledged definition of something then anything goes with it. And as there is no universal definition of what it means to be a Christian then you and no one else can declare that this or that person are or aren't a Christian. He displayed a cross and uttered some words about God which he did will all earnestness and as such I have no reason to think nothing else but that he is a Christian.
