Cringe Factor

Have you recently been in a public place, and had to cringe at how "Christians" sometimes act?

I was in a supermarket recently, and a lady (apparently) got cut in line by another lady's friend. This didn't sit well with the offended lady, and she was quick to tell everyone around her.

Apparently the other lady, who was of another ethnicity, gave a form of an apology on the way out, to which the offended lady gave the whole "I didn't feel it was right, blah, blah, blah and then in the (seemingly) most insincere way gave the "but God bless you".

CRINGE.....

Let's see, you just spouted your mouth about being offended, and you offer a weak "God Bless You" like that's supposed to make everything alright. What a HORRIBLE example to everyone around you.

Jon Acuff, blogger for "Stufff Christians Like" (yes, 3 F's), wrote about this a number of months ago. The insincere stuff christians do in the name of closing a argument/discussion/slam on the person next to you. The whole, Trevor may have 3 nose rings, a "Mom" tatoo, but "God Bless him" or "Johnny might be making a huge mistake going to Tri-State Community College instead of Harvard, but "bless his heart".

The last thing the world needs is insincerity in their relationships/encounters with Gods people.
