95% Redneck

My wife and I were in a restaurant the other morning and I saw a middle aged gentlemen just walk in. He sat near us, so naturally I struck up a conversation with him. We chatted about work, weather, etc. Then I asked him if he had a relationship with the Lord and he said yes. I said great. "What church do you attend?" He muttered off about being involved lately with a bunch of churches and that presently he wasn't attending any church. He mentioned some churches he use to attend and I commented that I knew the Pastor and they were good men. We kept talking and he mentioned that he had visited a certain church. I made some comment to the extent that were people of color allowed to attend that church. Then the stuff hit the fan. He stood up and walked over to my table and said, and I quote. "I'm 95% redneck and I do not believe in mix churches." After hearing this man talk about the blessings of God, those words followed. I told him that I disagree with him in a nice manner of course. He preceded to tell me that I was wrong. This is 2012 and there are still people today who believe that people, regardless of their color cannot worship together. Shame on you! We finished talking with the gentlemen and I told him we need to go and I invited him to our church. He asked if people of color attended our church. Naturally being 95% redneck he didn't ask it that way. He asked it his way. I smiled and said this to him. "Sir, we have people who attend our fellowship." He then said he would not be attending. So sad
