The Data:

Location: NJIT Newark Campus
Individuals Involved: Me, a young black woman and her baby
Catalyst: A book "God is Not Great" by Christopher Hitchens

Setup:
After my morning final exam I went to the grease trucks and grabbed a cheese steak. I had time to kill before my next final and got the book out of my car to read after I ate. I walked to the little plaza between the student center and another admin building where there are small tables with umbrellas setup for people to chill at. I sat down at one of the tables, at a table next to me and directly in my line of sight was a young black woman, roughly my age, [I am 24] holding a baby with a stroller parked next to them.

After finishing my yummy cheese steak, I took out the book and began to read. The cover was directly facing the young girl. After a few minutes of reading I noticed her staring directly at me. Looking back at her I gave her a look that must have read as "What the **** are you looking at!" She then proceeded to open her mouth;

Girl: I guess you don't believe in god hu!?
Me: Nope, I defiantly don't!
Girl: Well thats gunna suck for you when you die and have to spend eternity in hell.

That kinda pissed me off. Being the jerk that I am, I could not simply let it go, and had to have some fun at her expense. Knowing thanks to Bill O'Reilly's book "The Factor" that more then 80% of black children born in urban areas, IE Newark, are born out of wedlock, I would have an easy kill and I went for it. The conversation quickly continued;

Me: So I take it then that you DO believe in god?
Girl: I sure do!
Me: Is that your son?
Girl: Yes he is.
Me: He's very cute!
Girl: Thank you!
Me: What is your husbands name?
Girl: Oh I aint married!

JACKPOT!

Me: Uh huh, Well then tell me how do you choose which ruled of god's to follow and which of gods ruled not to follow?
Girl: What you mean?
Me: Well its obvious to me that you agree with god and his rules to NOT use contraceptives, but how did you decide not to listen to his rules saying for people to NOT have premarital sex? Looks to me like we will be burning in hell together.

The girl gave me a really dirty look, got up with her baby, grabbed the stroller and moved about 5 tables away. I continues to read my book.

Conclusion:
Not sure, but it sure as hell was fun!

 

That was fun??? Time to get a life my friend.

 

Ooh, burn. Good burn. You are quite quick witted. Very nice.

 

I'll meet up with you in hell as well.
I hope hell has a 1/4 mile.

 

All the racing will be HOT LAPS.

 

If there truly is a heaven and hell, who would you rather hang out with?

Jesus, the virgin Mary, your local Priest and Ned Flanders

or

Jimmy Hendrix, John Bonham, Kieth Moon, and Janice Joplin

hmmm?

 

You are so right... I have no life... How could I have missed that... Damnit!

I have to correct this immediately!

Maybe Ill go get an education... oh wait, I'm about to graduate with an degree in Architecture.

Maybe Ill get a job... oh wait... I already have 2

Maybe Ill get a woman... oh wait... I have had an awesome GF for the past 1.5 years

Maybe Ill get a hobby... oh crap... I drag race, fly planes, and do photography...

**** bro... with all the stuff Im doing now I don't know if I have time to "get a life" as you so wonderfully put it.

dipsh*t...

 

Well depending on where you live your local priest might just meet you in hell as well.

 

There, I fixed it for ya.

 

only for private use...

 

i actully found it funny

put the girl in her place and now maybe she'll shut the hell up and keep her opinions to herself cause no one really wants to hear em

 

I graduated from NJIT with a Masters in Architecture in 2003. Taking my licensing exams now. Glad to see there are some people that have similar hobbies......not many architects that are into cars.....I have a 05 C6, 97 WS6 TA, 05 CTS-V, and a 68 Chevelle ss396

 

Thats pretty cool to hear!

What Proffs did you have... we can share our dislike for them lol

 

Hahahaha, nice.
The selective convenience and various hypocrisies of organized religion in general NEVER ceases to amaze me LOL.

 

Ha, hell has a 1/4 mile but you can only run 14's and there is an oil down every other run.

Very good Alex. In her book they replaced husband with "baby's daddy"!!

 

Nice. I just hate it when people don't mind their own business. I think I would have handled the situation a little differently though. I personally would not have taken the time to conduct a social experiment and just told her to mind her business and keep her opinions to her damn self. If anyone wanted her opinion, I'll bet they would have asked. That's just me though.

 

Hmm, how do you think the DA is? Its well below sea level, but with the heat I imagine it can't be that good...

I don't see a problem with what Alex did, someone couldn't mind their own buisiness, so he didn't mind his. Its even more amusing when its a holier-than-thou hypocritical "follower".

Personally I would've just asked her how there can be a hell if God is all-forgiving.

 

had Tim Wood, Papademetriou, Sanders, Fabian, Yates, and many others. The only one I really liked was Fabian, that was for my last studio (comp)

 

Alex,

I agree- she had no right to ask what you were reading with a pissy attitude- especially since her "moral compass" doesn't point to "true north"!

Gotta be careful.. she'll pull out a razor and give you "a buck fitty" (150 stitches when she slices your face open) and you will have a lifelong "kool-aid smile".

Best approach- ignore.

 

that was funny

Alex...u a jerk?? nooooooo wayyyyyyyyy lol
