Oct 11

When stores started opening on Sunday and people had to work on Sunday and couldn't use the excuse of having to go to church to not work or go in late. I knew those Jesus freaks teally didn't care about their "faith" unless it was useful. And I never trusted businesses that post a sign or advertise they are a "Christian" business. Made me wonder if they cheated customers and were in need of redeeming.
