My Advenuture with a Christian Car Salesman
So, hubby and I had to buy a new (used) car. We live high up in the Colorado Mountains, having just moved here from Colorado Springs, thinking we would escape the radical, brainwashed Christians who have taken over the city and live out our lives in relative peace. There is a small car dealership here, and we didnīt want to drive down to Colo springs and endure high pressure salesmen. We had the car picked out, only needing to test drive it, which we did. We dickered the car down a few hundred bucks and go inside to do the paperwork. There was an autographed photo of Bush and Stepford wife, a bookcase full of Christian books, a very large crucifix behind the dealerīs wifeīs desk. The wife had that vacant Stepford look, something about her didnīt sit well with me. I nudged hubby, calling his attention to the Christian surroundings. We were both thinking, "Oh, no, she is going to try to convert us." Just before we sign the final paperwork, she asks if we are "Christians." Hubby isnīt as patient as me. He blurts out "NO". She lost her Stepford look and assumed a cold, dead stare. She quickly finished up, gave us the keys, etc., and we leave. I was embarrassed by hubbyīs response, but also totally miffed that our religious status had anything to do with their selling us a car. I get into the new/used car to drive it home, open up the glove box, and there it was...a copy of the New Testament - which hadnīt been there when we had test driven it an hour earlier....

I guess there is no escape.

It has reached the point that I have an uncanny ability to spot these Christian pod-people. Itīs as though they are soulless, colorless zombies. They exude an air of mindlessness in their obedience to authority, any authority. But who would have thought that such people would be found at a car lot?

Re: My Advenuture with a Christian Car Salesman
Perhaps you should wonder why someone else's decoration, free gift to you (new testement)and a question probably asked in small talk while completing the boring process of paperwork makes you fell so bad I don't see how it affects you in any way. Just ignore the religeous decorations , Say no, i'm not and I'm not interested thank you, and dispose of the new testement. Why should you let these minor things disturb your peace. Feeling anger (or possibly repressed guilt) is kinda stupid.

Re: My Advenuture with a Christian Car Salesman
The OP is a complete LOSER and made the illogical leap that made her think that religion had ANYTHING to do with the sale of the vehicle. Are you mentally retarded? She asked probably to share with you and have some conversation. Since your lamebrained husband was rude and blurted out NOOOOO, the atmosphere changed because of YOU...not them. What if she asked "Do you like apple pie?" and he blurted out NOOOOOOOO! Same thing. I would have thought you both as a couple of lame brained uneducated morons that don't know how to be polite.

And by the way, if Christianity or your "religious status" had anything to do with the sale of the vehicle, don't you think you would have been asked UP FRONT and NOT given a deal if you WEREN'T? YES??

And also, if they WERE trying to convert you (or as you in your paranoid delusional state THOUGHT they were going to do), don't you think when your oaf of a husband yelled out NOOOOO, that they would have even tried HARDER to save you??

The lady was trying to be polite, trying to start conversation, trying to find some common ground with you...but you had to go be rude.

It's people like you that have no grace, no tact, no ability to be polite.

Instead, in the future, pull your fucking head out of your ass, and simply say when asked, "No, I'm not Christian." That's all. You don't have to inflect your voice like you hate Christianity, or Christians, or God, or whatever the fuck else is your problem. Just be polite. And if she were to have said, "Well, we are and it's the best thing since sliced bread." Would it kill ya to sit there for a second or two and let them share? WOULD IT?!?

Re: My Advenuture with a Christian Car Salesman
Anyone trying to use a mainstream religion as some kind of shield or status is a fake and a phony.

My adult offspring went to a supposedly "Christian" dentist who was in such a rush to get to his son's baseball game that he left finishing a filling to a dental assistant, who failed to do it. He also would not wait until the Xylocaine had time to actually work but rushed to start on work, refused to work on the teeth we BOTH asked for (the worst ones needed to be done with the limited amount of insurance BEFORE the ones that were not even bothering him). This jerk ignored ALL of our instructions. So when the insurance company accidentally sent ME a sizeable check, we kept it in lieu or suing the "man" for malpractice.

So any claim of being a good Christian businessman should ALWAYS be considered to be probably false.

Re: My Advenuture with a Christian Car Salesman
When the lady asked if you were Christian, it could have been to avoid talking about something? That made no sense, let say it this way:

I worked for one week last year just off the STRIP and my boss asked me if I was Christian before she decided to talk about her opinion of the election and end times ect. My take was that she didn't want to waste my time or her time if I thought she was wacko...didn't want to hear anything religion ect.

I don't know about the car dealer though. I was in an office yesterday and the guy is Jewish, so had he asked me if I was jewish, I would assume it would be the same thing as the Christian lady.

Really what I am trying to say is there is so much religious persecution, people may be leery of discussing anything remotely related to religion and since generally business and religion do not mix, they are not going to discuss anything if you are going to be offended or they feel that they may be offended. It could be as simple as hey I am going to wish you a good day or blessing in (INSERT RELIGION HERE) or not, who knows.

I don't think it is strange to at all to be asked if you are a christian, a jew or pending on where you live if you are a muslim. However, I do think had I been asked or the lady asked from the car dealer if you were a satanists...now that may be strange.
