The lady behind the cash register at my local grocery store is a nice enough person, if a little ‘mentally simple’. And in telling this little story, in no way am I meaning to pick on her.
There she is, pushing my groceries over the scanner, when she tells me that I should get an air miles card. She then goes on to tell me how she just bought some CDs for her daughter, using her air miles. “Yeah, CDs by that singer, you know the one…she’s really popular…” I am looking at her blankly, of course. I’m thinking, “geez lady, can’t you just bag my groceries and grunt, like everybody else at this store does?”
“You know the one,” she says, looking to me for help. “She’s popular…not April Wine…” I almost exploded into a coughing fit at that remark…not April Wine…oh boy!
She goes on…”Oh, she just got out of rehab again!”
I shake my head. “Sorry, I don’t know, and I don’t listen to that sort of music,” I say to her.
“Oh, Lady Gaga!” she says, grinning, not paying any attention to the fact that I DON’T CARE! “Yeah, she’s a bit weird, but she is really good,” she says to me.
Now, here is the part that I don’t understand…
Why would you brag to a total stranger, about buying CDs for your daughter, when your moral compass is so broken that you would buy her CDs featuring a spoiled millionaire sex-addict drug-and-alcohol-addled singer? Why would ANYBODY want the lyrics their children are listening to and being influenced by, to be written by a singer whose greatest talent is acting like a total prostitute? Then, top this off with the fact that this singer is addicted to chemical substances…
Okay, I get it, this lady And her daughter probably aren’t Christians.
The problem is, you can’t tell a Christian from a non-believer anymore. The churches are full of wolves in sheep`s clothing, people who think they are believers, but do not have Christ within them. And these people, they are influencing the believers, causing them to become more and more like the world, to the point where there is no differenced anymore!
Congratulations, Christians. You`ve failed. All this, shown by a ga-ga lady talking about Lady Ga-Ga…
