I must look pretty pathetic today...

Two different people in different stores approached me and said, "God/Jesus loves you, have a nice day."

Maybe it's some kind of outreach thing with one of the local churches? Like the ministry has encouraged members to remind people that they are loved?

I'm sure you look perfectly fine. You weren't wearing jammies in public were you? No, then you are perfectly fine. If so... well, we all have those days.

That would make me really uncomfortable.

DH and I were getting our driveway redone a few years ago. We had a contractor out to look at it, and we were all discussing what to do. DH and I started to dissagree about what should be done, but not yelling or arguing or anything, just talking, and this guy (whom we never me) out of nowhere says "I'm going to pray for you two." I was like excuse me??? Thats not something you hear to often (at least I don't tell people that I'm going to "pray for them" because they are having a discussion with their spouce) and it really cought me off guard. I'm sure these people who said it to you ment it in the nicest way, but for people who aren't used to hearing that, or just don't expect it, its kind of..... strange and upsetting. Like, "Do you know something I don't know????" LOL

I always say "Thanks, why do you say that?" when I get that type of stuff.....it always catches me off guard.

Actually I just ignored them..I wasn't afraid of them, but they weren't your normal "suit-and-tie" evangelists, neither one of them looked quite "right". I haven't heard this from someone in years, so I thought it was weird that I heard it in two unrelated instances within an hour of each other.

I don't care what kind of an "outreach" program a church has, I think it's so out of line to say that to people. And I'm a church-going Christian! Imagine how atheists feel about that type of comment.
