Fun Little Facebook Exchange...

Here is the revision of the granddad fiasco...Red is Lester and Blue is me. Happy reading.
The back story behind this exchange comes from a comment I left on Ryan's Facebook.com page, peppered with colorful language requesting his deployed address.

I (and hopefully others) would appreciate it if you would cut out your foul language on Facebook. I am surprised they would even allow it. Usually it is a sign of immaturity. You should remember that young children are reading what you write. So -watch it.

Thank you for your concern, for your sake and the children perusing this fine social network

I will refrain from using unbecoming language on my good buddy, Ryan's profile. Have a good day.

I appreciate your response, especiially since I noticed you listed your religion as Christian.Foul language anywhere is not a trademark of a Christian and reflects badly on your Christian witness.

Think about that. Have a good day.

Lester,
I'm curious whether or not you have a day job. I'd consider getting one and worrying about your witness and keeping your advice to yourself. You seem like a fantastically self-righteous Christian who turns the unsaved away from precious salvation because of your snarky attitude. Think about that. Have a good evening.

Being 82 years old it is difficult to get a job. As for keeping my advice tro myself it isn't just my advice but what the Bible has to say about how we should act so as not to lead a life that is a bad influence on others. I am not sure what "snarky attitude" is, but I suspect that it is not something I possess. As for being a fantastically self-righteous Christian ;et me assure you I am not. I just , at times, speak out against things that are contrary to the teaching of Christ, especially to those who claim to be Christians but do not show it by their actions.

Eighty-two huh? You've had a pretty good run. I'm 24 and I can distinctly remember my mother telling me to keep my mouth shut if I'm not being spoken to. I would've expected that advice was carried over from your generation. My reference to your getting a job was less a suggestion about you being gainfully employed and more of a point that you might take up a hobby, get a drinking problem or something other than pestering people. You are perpetuating the stereotype that old people are annoying.

I'm still wondering why we are having this conversation. I'm entertained by it, but it's tragic that even after receiving an apology from me and the restraint I've displayed by not using foul language on Ryan's page, you are still harping on this.

I think you should open a school or perhaps offer a weekend clinic where you can teach the Gospel according to Lester, which may or may not coincide with actual Biblical truth. This way you can indoctrinate small children first, then maybe you can stand-up a fanatical militia comprised of the children you trained, then you can single out a particular sect, race or creed of people you don't like and eradicate them...oh wait. That's already been done. Mein Kampf might be worth a read if this is your plan.

I'm going to pray for you, Lester.

love,
Matt
