Those @#$%^&* Christians!

 

I love irony. There it is. I let that cat out of the bag. I…love…irony. I tell you this, because I have an ironic tale to tell you.

My daughter has been celebrating all this past week, her graduation from high school. As part of their celebration, she and her class took a trip on a boat to Catalina. Now these are all homeschoolers mind you. You know the ones, whose parents teach them at home. Those ones who teach their children about God and Jesus and also how to read and write. Well, off went my daughter with twenty-four of her graduating class from our school. Most of them were wearing their class t-shirts and sweatshirts, which proudly bore our school name which has “Christian” in the name and a verse: Psalms 62:1-2.

For God alone my soul waits in silence: from Him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress: I shall not be greatly shaken.

On the way to Catalina, my daughter and several of the other girls overheard a conversation. Two women were talking and here’s what they said:

Woman 1: “Why do Christians judge gays? They were just born that way?”

Woman 2: “Yeah, these Christians are too judgemental.”

Woman 1: “Those f**king Christians!”

Woman 2: “Yeah, they’re too self righteous!”

Woman 1: “Those f**king Christians!”

These women were not aware of the f**king Christians sitting behind them overhearing their conversation. They were not aware of the huge group of f**king Christian homeschoolers who just heard everything they just said. Most of the kids in my daughter’s class are not used to that kind of language.

As they docked at Catalina, the women had finished cursing Christians. Woman 1 turns to Woman 2 and says,”Hey let’s take a picture of these cool kids on the boat!”

Yes, those cool kids they were referring to were the same kids who were literally wearing their Christianity on their shirts. The same kids who were being cursed about. The same kids who had Psalms 62:1-2 written on their shirts that included the words: Christian, God, Him, salvation, my rock, my salvation. Yep, those were the cool kids they wanted to take a picture of.

And that my friends is what you call irony!
