"love thy neighbor" is Christina belief / they can call themselves whatever they want but they are not Christians

[Villagesbound]

As a Christian I want to say I am very sorry that your wife was treated in a vulgar and disrespectful way. A Christian would never treat a woman like that. Jesus taught us in word and actions to love our neighbors. Even if they thought she was a enemy of Christianity again Jesus commanded us to love our enemies. I hope this does not leave you feeling that this is how Christians act. I hope if these 2 men see this post that they will repent and make better choices in the future. I do not exactly get the symbol you have. Is it saying something about evolution or is it saying to evolve from Christian beliefs to something else? Just asking because I am curious. You have every right to have whatever you want on your cart but I do want to tell you the fish symbol is an important symbol in Christianity. Anyway, sorry this was your example of Christian but I want you to know we are all not like this and again I am sorry this happened to you.

Reclaim Jesus? How about reclaiming decency! Never heard so many "Christian" men calling women nasty names as I have here in The Villages. I experienced a similar rant from multiple white men who feel entitled just because they don't like who I support for the next leader of our country.

I’m sorry for your experience and your sign could have many different meanings. To think those two despicable men call themselves Christians is blasphemous. In my opinion, they are no more Christians than the man in the moon.

So the fish was used in the early church when Christians were being persecuted by Rome. It was used as a symbol to let other Christians know where they were meeting. As far as the unfortunate circumstance. Jesus said many will say Lord we did this for you and that for you and He will say to them get away from me I NEVER KNEW YOU. If this really did happen I would venture to say a TRUE CHRISTIAN PERSON WOULD NEVER SAY THAT. They might think they are Christians but most likely are not.

Thank you for your sane comment. With all the troubling things going on in the world, this Commentary is just stupid!

In this day and age it can be dangerous to even allow those kind of degenerates to get close to us. Please tell your wife if anybody gets close enough to assault her in anyway, she needs to walk or run back into the store and have the manager call the police. We don't have to put up with that for any reason!
Creeps look for a reason to vent their craziness. Best to steer clear...

People who grew up in middle class America probably didn't see street violence on a daily basis. How dangerous it is to even look a someone the wrong way can lead to being beaten, stabbed or shot. The prisons are full of violent men and women, where do you think they were before they landed in prison?

Also, how do think road rage and other angry conflicts end up with someone dead and someone going to prison?

It's easy to see who doesn't want to fight you in most situations so they didn't think much of it when they engaged in their attack of this woman. You never know though. An elderly man killed a road raging young man with a compound bow years ago. I bet he didn't see that coming.

Point being, you pick a fight with the wrong stranger and you may get someone that doesn't back down, it quickly escalates, a gun comes out and you can see how this ends.

99% of people probably probably won't let it escalate.

To answer your question, did they deserve to be shot? Nope. If however, they didn't like an aggressive response and squared up, flexed on them and got in a person's face would THEY try to deescalate what they started? Most likely not. At which point they may be fighting a person who is mentally unstable to begin with, violent and willing to shoot someone.

Thank you to the decent people who said versions of "sorry this happened". And then there are those who accuse me of lying or in the words of the main stream media "fake news". It happened exactly as I wrote it. Mrs Blueash was very shaken and is not a liar. She had difficulty falling asleep last night and is not yet herself today.

Don’t believe everything that one posts. By the way, every square inch of that lot is covered by cameras

To that specific wrong post.. Here is the phone number of Publix in Southern Trace: 352-751-6280 Call them and ask if "every square inch" is covered by cameras. The answer I received, and I suspect you will receive, is that there is no camera coverage of the outside except for the ATM. Don't accuse me of lying. And have the honesty yourself to come back and report on your phone call.

To those who insist it could not have happened.. I suppose your response might be that such actions are so offensive no person would ever do such a thing, but I don't think that is why you posted that thought. I present as demanded by one of you a photo of the damaged EVOLVE sticker. Of course you can now claim I ripped it up myself, just happened to have an old one and thought I'd construct a tale about it. Or admit the event happened.

To those of you who say.. but those men who called your wife an "ignorant c*nt" and attacked your property, waited by the cart to verbally assault her and made her feel very threatened don't represent real Christians and don't speak for the faith.. I agree with you. And I hope the next time there is a Muslim who acts violently or speaks violently you will apply the same filter and see that that person does not represent the Muslim faith even if that person claims his acts are defending his faith.

Holidays are not the only traditions/beliefs lifted by Christians from the Pagans. Virgin birth is also a Pagan belief which pre-dates the Christians belief of the Virgin Mary. In fact, there are many religions which believe in virgin birth. Seems all these religions copy each other with their beliefs.

Honestly? It is my impression devout Christians do not believe in evolution. I just learned something today. Thank you.

There are lots of Gods. Just pick one. Ever wonder if you picked the right one? LOL.

I have never understood why someone puts a religious or political sticker on there car especially these day. Yes it’s your right but 1 it never changed anyone’s mind and 2 as we see here it opens you up to ridicule and vandalism

The tone of TV has changed tremendously during the past several years and that ugly tone is getting louder every day as angry, old, white guys feel empowered to strut and shout, foaming rabid and often traveling in packs.

You obviously missed the cart parade with the uncouth lady from Connecticut spewing an unending stream of profanity from her mouth. Insanity knows no bounds these days.
