Quote# 30851
When Jesus walked the earth when he was here, he saw Paganism all over. The Romans had the god "PAN" all over the place. Have you ever seen the god PAN? He's VILE!
I never saw those gods till I went to Greece. I went into a store in Athens to purchase a scarf, when my eyes fell on this small statue of PAN!!! I was in SHOCK!!!!!!!!!! My Jaw dropped to the floor!!!!!!! My husband began laughing at me.......of course he's more educated than I and knew about this.....but he was laughing at my response. lol.
I don't know how to say this to those who have never seen the god PAN.......but .........if you haven't seen that statue........and someday you do........... your JAW WILL DROP TO THE FLOOR TOO!
It's about fertility.........and I GUESS THEY WANTED TO BE REAL FERTILE.......if you get my meaning? I mean REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL FERTILE!
Anyway, I told the store manager that I was offended by that thing and because of that I wouldn't buy anything at her store. And then she laughed....because what works in USA does not work there! You can't threaten them with that stuff. That's been going on since the days of Jesus there and to this day, they are still selling those gods....believe it or not!
But Jesus said, be in the world but not of the world. Be NOT LIKE THEM. Be the Salt, be the Light of the world. So that's what we're supposed to do.
I am not sure if I was salt or light when my jaw dropped.......but .........oh well....I tried

"I am not sure if I was salt or light when my jaw dropped.......but .........oh well....I tried"
You failed. Hell, you didn't even try. Liar. You tried to use your American "Oh noes! I'm offended! You must cease and desist ASAP!" bullshit overseas and it failed. Tough shit, Rachael.
Here's a hint for ya: Don't travel internationally if you can't handle being confronted with other cultures. Stay in the Bible Belt like a good little fundie.

Doesn't work in the U.S. either. You don't have any right to not be offended.

Your husband must be hung like a hamster. If you think Pan is well hung, you should do some looking around, Rachel. You don't know what you're missing!

You seem to really like capitalizing things and using lots of exclamation points.

Seriously let's just wall the Bible Belt off from the rest of the world. The real world doesn't want to deal with the fundies and the fundies don't want to deal with the real world. Everyone wins.

It was a penis. Your husband has one, too. So did your dad. And Pan was a horny god. Dude, just deal with it. It happens.

Yes...thousands of years of acknowledging these gids, if not worshiping them will be overturned by one tourists "righteous indignation." (Read: Hissy fit.)

Is there a "prude of the month" award?
And this may surprize you racheal, but people in other countries don't really give a shit about what americans think about what they sell.

Somewhere in a drawer her husband never looks in, Misspelled_Rachael69 has a gigantic black rabbit vibrator the size of a Coke can. (It would have to be black. Only people this repressed really give a shit about interracial -- anyone else just goes after whoever they think is hot.)

You're allowed to laugh at stupid customers over there? Transfer me over, please.

I'm sure that the manager was secretly very afraid of losing the patronage of one tourist for 1 product during the tourist's lifetime. The fact that the one tourist didn't buy anything made sure that the kids of the manager had to go to bed without food that night.

Dear Racheal,
Pan's been around a lot longer than Jesus but, I think, has about as much credibility.
