Evangelical Snob

I believe it's time once again to brush off the cobwebs on my trusty blog.
What better way to do it by posting a quick rant so if you'd rather not endure my whining then this is a post you may not want to read.

As some of you may know, most of you may not since I myself did not know, but today evangelical author and speaker, Mark Cahill, was in town for a presentation at the new event center. Now I can't say I'm exactly up to date on who's who in the world of religious speakers so prior to today I had no idea who the guy was. So when he came into Mike's to eat today he was just another ordinary guy to me.

He marched around the restaurant handing out money, signed copies of his book, paying for guests meals, "it's better to give than receive" he would say as he tossed out the cash. I stood at the host's podium watching as he did this, he gave several of my coworkers very large tips, and copies of his book with money placed inside the cover. I, on the other hand, was not one of the lucky ones to receive any of his "gifts." He would simply walk past, nose in the air, ignoring my existence. I did not receive money, a book, let alone a smile, or a "god bless you."

Does your God pick and choose who he wants to bless? Did your God put you on this earth to act in such a snobbish manner, using your wealth to act like you are better than others? My God has blessed me in great forms, I did not obtain this by walking over others, making them feel insignificant. I try to treat everyone with respect whether I agree with their ideas, morals, ideals, so on and so forth... I do not need your money, your insight, but I do need to be acknowledged as a person, treated with respect regardless if I wear lipstick the color of satan's ass or not.

Whatever "publicity" you seek, you sir, are seeking it by the wrong fashion. Sometimes it not so much about the lives you've touched, but the ones you overlooked because of your own pride.
