And for good reason. People laughed at his jokes because a lot of them were ready to scream if they didn't laugh. The problem is, most of what he says is spot on correct*.

Talk about imposing your religious beliefs upon others. . .

There is a worker at my place of employment that writes down various passages from the bible onto post it notes, and pastes them all over his work bench. (Violation of 5S policy, waste of company resources, etc.)

This same individual would probably have a stroke if someone else brought a prayer rug to work, or posted quotes from a muslim religious book in the same manner he does the xtian one.

The point is, now someone is going to have to instruct him to stop doing this and to take down all of the stuff he has posted in his work center. Then, he's going to have a fit, get pissy, and probably go to the senior leadership crying persecution.

What a jackwagon!

I may shock you, but I agree!

He is at work, not at home.  My question is, does he REALLY have to have those post it notes with scripture to "get by"?

  If I were you, I would do just what you said.  I'd get a pad of posted notes, don't you or your wife touch them.  Have my wife write Muslim prayers and with gloves I would post them every where he could see them, quietly and in secret.  Trash the rest of the pad and gloves where the management would not find them.  Then I would set back, play dumb and see the fun.

  Ooooboy, you got a direct connection the the Sky Guy?  You believe in the big false fairy tale that there is a god.  What else are you going to come up with fairy boy.    That you're the best friend of the rabbit who lives down the hole to Wonder Land with Alice.   

  You pray for the super rich, Banksters, Stockmarketeers and the Predatory Capitalist.   Then you want step on the throat of the down trodden, sick, and poor.    What would Jesus say?    What you else you got to say for yourself Dumbass. 

  If there is a god why can't he relieve the world of fools like you.        and the Holy   Give us a break.

Troll, you have ZERO class....

  Thank you Henry, coming from a man to believes in the "holy bible" and what Jesus preached of taking care of the least among us.   

  From you this a true complament,  Thank you Henry.

And you do?

Hypocrite. You want to quote "the word of God" (according to humankind), surrounding spirituality, and yet you would be first among those who would cast the first stone toward those who hold the capability to discern spirits.

Mankind's Bible is rift with examples of those who can speak with spirits and understand them, and yet somehow anyone today who has the ability to do so is "evil" and a charlatan. 

Religion has been (and always will be by all appearances) the best known method for building and wielding personal power and wealth known to humankind. This fact was at the very foundation of the canonization process utilized during the "editing" of the Bible, and has always been the basis for the scare tactics utilized by supposed religious leaders throughout history.  From the power hungry High-Priests of the dark/middle-ages, to the Falwells, Bakers, and zealots of today; money and power have always been the objectives. (Book-ended by the voice of God and the Holy Spirit).


If so called believers were to be required to live as Jesus is to have said they should, most of them would be victimized by the zealots amongst them. Fraternization with thieves, whores, drunks, and addicts; how dare they! Yet these are the very things Jesus is supposed to have done.  These are the "lost" souls among humankind, the wayward sheep the Shepard's are to bring back into the fold . . . but there is no money in that, no power to be gained. Most of the ministers I have been around make it a point to engage in activities that do these things; increase the flock, scare the kool aid out of them, and guilt them into tithing until it hurts, and then tithe some more.

They typically live in homes far and above those the average church member are able to provide for themselves; driving a new Cadillac or Town Car and dressing in some of the best suits available to them at deep discount from those members amongst the flock that were purveyors of such things. And the church was and is always in need of major repairs that are going to cost tens of thousands, or a new one is strongly desired by the "Lord". It usually ends up being a mansion of astounding proportions that requires even more tithing to heat and cool once it is built. 

Jesus (and I am repeating myself here I am sorry) consorted with the throw away sector of society, provided them hope, lifted them up, showed them the way of life. How is this being done today? How many homeless persons do you see welcomed within your congregations? How many of the addicted, the down-trodden, the helpless are welcomed within the congregations of organized religion and lifted up by its leadership? Few if any you have to admit. Those rare exceptions of individuals that come to the congregation seeking the way, are patronized and most often serve as fodder for the cannons of gossip and judgment exercised by the leadership and congregations nation-wide. This is the reality of organized religion today; a cliquish group of supposed followers of Jesus that regularly lord it over the have not's, and those who question their methods and ways.

The very nature of humankind is greed, and so often throughout history we have seen the conquered adopt the ways of the conquering. (Native Americans and Christianity for example). Now the religions and leaders of the times back then certainly saw how quickly this man was able to amass a strong following. So why not use this to construct a better means of controlling the peoples and bending them to the will of those who hold the power? Use his teachings and mold them in a way that leads them down the desired path? (Don't think the religious leaders of the times were capable of such acts or thoughts. Think of the high priests of the middles ages and the way in which they controlled the Kings by claiming to receive messages from God telling them the King should blah, blah blah).

  You have spoke the true words my brother Horse.  All a con-game, all smoke and mirrors all false wittiness of something phony.

  If god is so great, why does he treat his flock so bad.  I'll tell you why, he don't exist.  If he does he needs to be fired for the horrible job he's doing.  But we have people who are so ignorant they put their trust and belief in something that does not  exist and can't be proved that he exist. 

  If he, god is so good, why did he let Schuller's glass house be sold to the pedophile Catholic church.         

[Henry Hawk]

I'll tell you why, he don't exist.  If he does....

thats the way to take a stand....
