The Man of God Got It Handed Back To Him.

Today at my Class A CDL driving class while on a drive during a switch of drivers the new driver was taking his dear sweet time to get the truck on the road. The instructor said to him that he did not want to die an old man in the truck which by coincidence was parked by a cemetery. The instructor after he missed a more than safe chance to get on the road then said he only has this one opportunity to live cause this was it.

The guy looked at him and said "dont you believe in the after life" the instructor said yes I believe afterlife I believe after my family spreads my ashes they will either become a part of the weeds which the birds will crap out and then I will live another life as fertilizer until my nutrients convert into something else... then he said " you will either go to heaven or hell and not become a weed. The instructor getting tired of it all said I believe in the after life like Santa Clause does, and said get the truck on the road.

Meanwhile the other three of us who were sitting in the back were wondering if this guy was going to whip out an assault rifle and shoot us. Then he said sometimes God takes things away from us because He is disappointed in our choices.

Well this guy is homeless, living in a van and dresses like a dirty hobo is paying for school on Goodwill scholarship. Well when we got back to school one of the Korean student popped his cork and said what did you do to piss your God off. He went ballistic on the kid and said "what do you mean" in the kids Korean dialect said "did you have a home before you lived in your van" Yes he said. So what did you do to piss your God off that caused you to live in a van now, what did you do"

Silence occurred and he walked off the school property. Dont know if he will be back.

So either he realized what he was preaching has no substance or realized his preaching style was not appropriate.

edit: If I see him again as a former associate pastor I am going to council him on when you stop ministering and where it is appropriate cause obviously he hasn't been mentored properly. His antics today cost us 10 minutes of learning time.

1. He will be back tomorrow with some bullshit about the Book of Job.

"God loves me so much, that he's testing my faith. And god gave me this opportunity to go to driving school, yadda yadda..."

2. 'Why, God, why?'

'I don't know, Job...there's just something about you that pisses Me off.'

3. Homeless, Goodwill scholarship?

You do understand that through places like Goodwill and the Salvation Army, you are spoon feed the bible?

That line that he said,"sometimes God takes things away from us because He is disappointed in our choices." He more than likely hears every night.

He is more than likely just doing what he has been told. He has been to the very bottom and is trying to hang on to anything. To "put him in his place", in my opinion, was bad forum. People could have just shrugged it off.

4. I was willing to shrug it off..

...indeed no need to stack it on him... especially when you don't know where comes from.

I leave my politics in my car though.
