Friday, December 4 - At the Friday evening reception, we got chatting with one fellow who seemed quite worldly. His English was good and he even knew about the political issues between Quebec and the rest of Canada. Good for him!
En tous cas, at some point the subject of the Bible got raised (we were talking about biblical names) and both Junkii and I were quick to denounce Christianity – well, religion altogether – only to be informed that our conversationalist was actually Christian.
Nothing like putting your foot in your mouth at an event where you’re already out of your depth!
I know how it feels... Junkii will tell you that when a group of us went to the Malay restaurant here in Ottawa, I was talking trash about the Sally Ann and the owner's wife, who was clearing the tables, let me know in no uncertain terms that the Salvation Army does good work!
ReplyDeleteYes I remember that. Oh well, we're entitled to have our own opinions.
