Jesus has made my boss lose his mind

[MichaelD]

I am not a very religious person (or "Christian" as you Christians like to say). But I don't begrudge anyone their beliefs/idolizations/etc.

My boss is one of the Born Again people...or as he likes to say "SAVED." He says he can't be "born again" b/c Jesus only lets you be born once. WTF ever.

My boss "got saved" about 18 years ago...he used to be "a sinner" as he so loves to say it.

but he pretty much has stopped trying to save me, etc b/c I told him that it offends me. I was being very nice about it.

When you ask him how he's doing today/tonight he always says "I'm blessed." What the fvck ever, man; I've gotten used to it. But now he's gone too far...Jesus has brainwashed him.

We sat down to eat about an hour ago. Instead of quietly praying to himself (saying grace) like he always does, he started singing:

Thank you Jesus! For all you do! I'm so grateful you do what you do! Thank you Lord, for this food!

And a few other lines I don't remember. It was just he and I at our table. The whole room just stared. I wanted to die. At least he didn't start waving his hands in the air and shaking a tambourine or some sht like that.

I really don't want to eat with him anymore...but it's kind of habit...we usually do breakfast and lunch together...it sure doesn't hurt come Review time.

But this is getting ridiculous. How do I stop this inappropriate behavior? Smack him? Electrocute him? Throw goat's blood on him? If you worship blown lightbulbs as your God, good for you; I'm happy for you. Just dont' let your belief infringe on my personal space, OK? :|

What a religious zealot...

Ask him to keep his personal beliefs toward himself?

Find a new job.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I'm like you, I respect other's beliefs but when they start doing things that bother me, I have to say something

I'd ask him why he does all that now...

 

[conjur]

Start praying to the dark overlord of hell and etching pentagrams on the table with your knife.

:wine: I like this idea...but he may try to beat me with his bible or something.

Tell him you've been blessed...

Oh HEEEELLLLL no! :Q Then he'd never STFU! He already yammers about Peter in Exclises 3:4 or Jonah in Revelations 9872:009...enough already!! :Q

 

[glugglug]

Join in and say grace with him. Thank Satan for the meal!

 

[Rapidskies]

So he isn't talking to you about spiritual things, but now his prayer habits offend you. Get over it or quit brown nosing your boss just for reviews.

 

[Kadarin]

Jesus is a bad influence, I tell you...

 

[crumpet19]

The flamboyant ones are usually the most corrupt.

Bwhahaha!

I vote for the goats blood bit.

That is a fair statement; I respect your forwardness. However, I don't have to brown nose for reviews as my work performance and dedication to my job and company speak for themselves. I had excellent appraisals long before I met/started working for my current supervisor.

Truthfully, he kinda started hanging out with me (no, it's not like that...he's married and I'd beat him bloody if he touched me, OK?) He told me that he thought of me as not only a subordinate but as a friend b/c I don't judge him on his beliefs. How ironic that my wonderful tolerant quality has me annoyed right now?

His peers and most of his bosses avoid him b/c he's a Jesus freak. Right or wrong, that's their option. I can pretty much usually just tune someone out if they are yammering about this or that (I have lived with women, you know) but it's getting to be a bit much, now.

Maby you should just ignore him and quit worrying what other people think about you like a high schooler.

are these threads ever any different? It's like the same topic is repeated every day. Some Christian tries to force their beliefs on you and you come here whining about it.

Man, and i was sitting here wondering if was being harsh.

Seriously though these threads do always degenerate into a group of religious people trying to convert the non religious and the non-religious getting pissed becuase they should have the right to believe what they want while making nasty comments about other people just because they bellieve in something you dont.

*tsk-tsk*

Someone left pissy-sprinkles in your Corn Flakes today, hmm?

 

[StageLeft]

i wonder...if he's truly honestly happy all the power to him, although it's definitely some funky crap and embarassing to be seen with a person like that But I know that some people who act as he does are not really happy but just madly trying to cling on to something they can hold as true, whether in their heart they believe it to be or not. If he's of this category I feel sad for him. If he's of the first...well stand away cause Jesus is comin through!
