The Roman who claimed to be a Christian.

There is nothing new in it . There are just too many people in our world who claim to belong to the religion, their deeds do not testify to be true.

Such occasions do surface from time to time in our daily life as it surfaced when the news came not long ago, of a heated and ferocious argument, that a small hotel owner in Britain, initiated with his client. What did his client, a European woman do, to merit the discomfort of entering and ensuing such a heated argument with an ungrateful person to whom she had brought her clientele which means that she was paying his wages?

The rule book of many a trade and business is “Customer is always right”.
By initiating a heated and ferocious argument on utterly mind boggling ground, this man was seen to be throwing out of the window, the edicts of Christianity and the rule book of business.

So what was the reason of such a heated argument that this man calling himself a Christian initiated?

He objected to the way this woman had dressed up. Was she scantily or improperly dressed that would arouse the morals of a Christian to be offended? No. This woman had dressed up very modestly and gracefully. She had dressed up very much in the likeness of the holy mother of Jesus (pbot). Many nuns, more so in Eastern Europe are seen to be dressed up likewise covering themselves gracefully, from head to toe. The Palestinian women continue to keep alive the tradition of adorning themselves with such a graceful attire of their holy ancestors i.e. the holy Muryum(pboh) and other holy female mothers and wives of holy men.

In Britain only over 100 years ago every woman would dress herself like this.

So what went wrong with this man claiming to be a Christian. What depressed him, what possessed him? One can only speculate that the Roman arrogance took control of this man. His arrogance and utter contempt for a woman, who had dressed up very modestly and gracefully very much like the mother of Jesus (pbot), confirmed most certainly, of his declaration through his attitude and deeds, that he indeed was a Roman claiming to be a Christian. One is expected to come across such people in our everyday life whereas on the other hand one is more likely to come across people showing the beauty of their religion, belief and conviction in their totally compassionate, kind, heart warming and heart winning behaviour.

This incidence proves the point that there are just too many people in our world who go round claiming to belong to the religion, their deeds do not testify to be true.
