Not Okay.

Today I went to Walmart to do some grocery shopping. When I got back out to the parking lot, there was a note wedged into my door that said:

Every Soul born into this world is destined for the eternal lake of fire. We must be converted from this carnal world into the Spirit world with God.

[citations for several bible verses]

Jesus' word = God's speach [sic] = Gospel.

On the back, it said:

Does your church encourage Sodomy? the most loathsome, filthy sin a human can do. what ever happened to teaching good hygiene? they get aids, hepatitis, polio and more from doing such filth. Only a devil encourages such filth. When I am busy doing God's will, I can not e sinning. By works faith is made perfect. Jesus saw there [sic] faith, then he forgave and healed them. Sin is not doing God's will. Jesus said, strive to enter in Labor for the filling of the Spirit.

I was enraged. I sat in my car and screamed quietly. I threw the note on the floor of my car, picked it up and glanced at it again, and was very near crying. And then I shouted to the Walmart parking lot.
If the person who left this note on my car is still in my parking lot, I want you to know, this is NOT okay. It is not okay to attack and condemn someone you don't even know. It is not okay to tell me I'm going to hell for sins you assume I've committed.

I think the rant went on longer than that, but people were staring and my voice was shaking because I was about to cry, but I wanted anyone else who got a note like that to know that I supported them, and I wanted the author of the note to know that they hadn't done good works by leaving that note--they only caused pain.

I wish the person had still been there and had come up to me and talked to me. I would like to have told them that if they really wanted to "save" someone by converting them, they should get to know those people and treat them with love and respect, not leave an anonymous note. I also wanted to tell them that their assumption that they were doing good works and I was only evil was wrong.

Tomorrow at 11:15, I'm giving blood. I'm not doing that because I feel like God told me to. I'm doing it because I think it's the right and good thing to do, to give what I can (my blood) to help someone.
