Very crazy fringe wacko religous folks out there, who are somehow relevent. Never ceases to amaze me how lunatic a lot of people are,,, these people and the people who believe them.
That site appears to be made by centrists to expose crazy right wingers but I wonder if extreme right wing people use it as a general source for their news. I mean I just learned that an openly gay boy scouts will result in nuclear war with north korea and I have to get myself to idaho.

I go nuts (quietly) when people come into work in the morning :"How are you?"
"I'm blessed," "Oh the Lord is so good to provide us with jobs!" "Yes, God is good!"

Every once in a while our PM sells "dinners" for her church that are brought to us on Saturday mornings. It's okay to hang around and eat those, but if I want to go to the break room for 2 seconds to refill my coffee, I'm doomed.
Fortunately, I don't eat any of the stuff served in those dinners so I have an excuse.

Maybe this should be in the RGMGs, but why is it okay to spend 20 minutes hanging around eating these dinners? Is that what God wants or something? I guess it's blessed

Sneak in some pamphlets about starving children into the room where this goes on and see what happens.

It might be a bit confusing going in...simply put, it's about exposing scams, especially IM MLM stuff but he touches on other things like cults and religion. I asked because I think you posted something from the verge. There's a youtube vid about the droid that's made by them.

I think it's called Scamworld. Worth a watch.

The salty droid is actually a Chicago lawyer, Jason Jones.

Speaking of weird religions, have you guys ever read Rose McGowan's bio on wiki? Holy crap, that poor kid.

Scamworld video is on TheVerge's site. The accompanying article makes the whole thing a bit easier to understand -at least for me , haha.

You can't tell that's fake? It's also funny.

That's crazy, I've never had anyone mention anything like that to me at any work, ever. If someone did I'd be tempted to tell them to shut up.


Now that I think about it, the closest I've seen is, we have a small office in Wisconsin I think, and I dealt with the office mgr for a bit, years ago, and she had an email sig with some sort of God stuff in it all the time. I really really thought that was bizarre.

I'd get fired if I worked where you do.

Them: "I'm blessed!"
Me: "Better you than people in Africa, I guess."

Them: "Oh the lord is so good to provide us with jobs!"
Me: "... to say nothing of the homeless guy who lives in a box under the overpass near I-95."

Them: "Yes, God is good!"
Me: "Four words: Bone cancer in children."


I'd accept my walking papers and gladly.

Because I work across borders all the time I see email sigs and phone messages with all kinds of Godly exclamations from my USA brethern...mostly southern guys from Tennessee Georgia or Florida regions.
They wonder out loud why they dont get any traction on sales up here...I just keep my mouth closed because if I told them the truth they would change things and hang around.

These very Godly folks in my office are mainly under-educated African-Americans so I guess it's part of that culture. And you can't say anything-it could be interpreted as racist even though there are some white people in the group.. Several are young single mothers. Half of these guys are deacons, preachers, whatever they call it. When one of them became a full fledged pastor or whatever we were all supposed to join in some kind of celebration. I just wanted to puke.
Can't they see their God just isn't working out somehow?

When they say "I'm blessed" I want to run around the office screaming ,"You're brainwashed!"

It ain't 70 virgins, but it'll do.

http://theweek.com/article/index/249...-the-sex-jihad

Quote:
Such promiscuity might sound like a flagrant breach of Sharia law, the Koran-inspired religious code that bans the faithful from indulging in everything from premarital sex to cigarettes and alcohol. Yet some fundamentalist preachers are more than happy to bend the rules for their religious warriors.

In December, for instance, Mohamed al-Arifi, a hard-line Salafi cleric from Saudi Arabia, allegedly issued a religious decree allowing jihadist fighters to temporarily engage in "intercourse marriages" with "females as young as 14 years old," Iran's state-run Press TV reported last year. Once the hookup is over, the temporary marriage is considered dissolved.
