I was arguing with a man about some abstract crap that no one really cared about and he was getting furious. Now I'm standing there in blue jeans and a tshirt, tattoos and piercings, scars from years of hard labor and looking at him like a bug when he talks. I was listening but his anger was too amusing.
He was 5 years older than me, and wearing slacks and a polo shirt. Then he says the thing that set me off. He said, "I was the pastor of a small baptist church for 7 years. I left the ministry but I am still a follower. Everytime you use foul language with me I just want to smack you." So I camly replied, "Sir. Even if you were currently a minister that title is about as important as "janitor" in the way I would treat you. Because you taught people about god doesn't make you him. You can try to smack me, but you had better pray the lord shows up."
Was I wrong to feel that way? Does being a minister hold weight as to how you should treat a person?
