Probably going to hell for this one...

This morning I had to pick up a few things at the store. On my way in I passed a table with two young men who told me they were trying to raise money for youth suicide prevention. I told them I'd think about it. On my way out I felt, as I have struggled with depression in my life, that I ought to be good and make a donation. I put a dollar in their jar. One young man thanked me and I turned to leave. As I did the items on their table caught my eye. God this and God that. People praying on their knees. I sighed and asked, "Are you really from a Christian organization?" The guy said yes. "Damn," I said. He asked if I wanted my money back. I said no. But then I asked, "Are you the type of Christians who try to make other people feel bad about themselves?" What I was really asking was are you the lunatics who think it's okay to kill doctors who perform abortions and tell gay people they're going to be damned? The young man replied, "It's not about making people feel bad about themselves. It's about helping them be right with God." That's all I needed to hear. "I think I do want my money back." And with that I took my dollar out of their jar and left. I bought a lottery ticket with it instead.

I think it's pretty sneaky to say you're raising money for suicide prevention and have no mention of the group you are affliated with. They did not have anything posted regarding their religious connection. Only if you looked closely. I thought it was shitty.

Quite frankly if God is really how those people say, a God who damns gays for being unnatural, leaves unbaptised babies in limbo, wants the conserative christian right to control the US and GW to rule the Middle East then I think I'd rather spend eternity in hell.
