i'm not really sure where i started, but where i ended left me thinking wtf. i've been in a pretty sour mood all day and thankfully i've resisted letting that feeling disrupt my professional life. oh, it's been tempting to let loose on a variety of people, but none of them are at fault for the mood or feelings, so i've managed to resist. getting back on track... somehow i ended up reading a post called you be well for me over on a blog called dooce -- it must have been the recommendation to "listen to music a little louder" that caught me as i had turned up the tunes a bit this morning. but i digress again. a google ad-sense ad caught my attention (partly due to some work related issues) and i clicked on it.

it was a spiritual questionnaire. heh. so i'm a sucker for these things and i figure i'll be able to click of my answers quickly and with little thought needed, but little did i know...

question number one was Do you believe in God?. working on my own personal assumptions of what they mean by that, i answered no. several more questions were asked and it ended with the much anticpated "dear friend -- blah, blah, blah" sort of message, BUT there was more: 

There are a lot of reasons why people say no to God. Click on the reason that
best applies to you.  If you are hurting, look past list below...

I Do Not Believe in God.
A Christian hurt me.
I'm not good enough to know God.
Some other time.
The gospel's not fair, too many people never hear it.
I'm a good person.
I'm Jewish.
There are many paths to God.
I tried it and it didn't work out.

scanning down this list i nearly spit water all over my keyboard when i read an excuse for saying no to god was i'm jewish. i'm speechless. it just makes me want to give the person that wrote this a smack on the back of the head. i'd be sure to refer to it as a zetz as i drive the point home. *sigh*
