My Christian friends

My Christian friends
I live in a small Cotswold Town (in England). Most days I frequent a Christian Bookshop/Cafe. My conversations with the people there are often very challenging. Several people in the cafe recently insisted that God created the universe just as it says in Genesis. Now these people are not stupid ... they show no signs of having any form of mental illness or dementia. I say to them: "I don't believe that you actually believe what you say you believe". They then bombard me with anti theory of evolution stuff. They have smiles on their faces as they do so ... they are enjoying themselves. They tell me that if I don't believe in Jesus I'll go to hell when I die.

My perception of them is that they are lying. I say to them: "Why should I believe you? You might be lying".

They just smile.

Despite this I'm always welcome there .. the food is cheap and wholesome.

It has crossed my mind: What would it be like if these people were running the country? How would they behave?
