Jesus has made my boss lose his mind

You don't huh? It sure sounds like you do now! You shouldn't take out what you believe (now) on people who believe/have faith in Christ. You had a really bad experience being forced to go to church and having "religion" shoved down your throat and that's not the way that it was intended to be. ...people have to make up their own minds ... ... not have parents make up their minds for them.

Being a Christian entails much more than believing ...it's a relationship, having faith. That's why calling the relationship a "religion" doesn't fly. Religion contains "A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader." and that's the thing that most religions focus on ... ... and that's why most churches don't adopt the word "religion." And also, I don't believe on having no bible in your hand while you are learning from a pastor/preacher/priest/etc. You should have a bible in your hand and make up your mind for yourself. God sent teachers to teach, but not to make up our minds for us... ...and that's what most "religions" do.. e.g. Catholicism, mormonism, jehovah's witnesses, etc. They usually only teach 'parts' of the bible that they find that suites their "religion." Christians (followers of God, people who have faith and don't just believe in God, born again, etc) ... we make up our own minds. We go to church and listen to a teaching authority, yes, but we have our bibles in hand and we make up our own minds according to what truth is in the bible.

Anyways, I hope that you resolve your issues with your boss. I personally think that it's great that he glorifies God in his life, daily. That's awesome. And no, he's not brainwashed -- he's thankful for the change(s) that God has made in his life and the sacrifice that God made for him to make him clean and worthy to glorify God. You know, have you ever considered yourself brainwashed? Brainwashed by this world? Brainwashed by science? I bet that you haven't ... ... but, you should take a second look at what you believe in, because, if you think that the universe (especially the earth with all of it's life forms) could result from a big bang theory and that we came from monkeys... ...then wow. I don't know about you, but I didn't come from no stinkin' monkey.

Listen up, monkey-boy.... Nice reply, really. Thanks for the kind words. But you sound as bad as him, no offense. You believe that your car starts in the morning b/c Jesus wants it to. You believe that you get a paycheck to feed your family b/c Jesus lets you.

Come on, man, think for YOURSELF. You earn that money. Jesus doens't "let you" do anything. You are FREE, not a puppet. Oh, but I know. Jesus gave you the will to choose too, right?

And therefore you and my boss close the loop w/your line of thinking.

It's a perfect scenario, really; you have the answer for EVERYTHING that way.

I will not debate on Creationism vs. The Big Bang theory, but if you think that one day there was nothing, then suddenly God got bored and made it all in six days, then you're no more intelligent than the monkey's we decended from. Of course, I'm sure God put all those same DNA strands in both sets of animal just to "test your faith."

But hey, it's America and we are both FREE to choose what we wish. No harm, no foul.

Besides anyway, the fact is and its a fact whenther you choose to believe or not, Jesus will be your judge and your jury when you die. And the funny thing is your sorrowful opinion will not mean a thing then. My suggestion to those who don't believe enjoy this life to its fullest, because ETERNITY waits. Its amazing the decisions you make in 80 or so years in this life if your lucky, will determine the rest of your ETERNITY folks. You know what I also always find funny. Is the complete and utter nonsense that your belief creates God. lol Like if I don't believe then he doesn't exist....hehehe. Its like saying if I don't believe in Twinkies they don't exist

Oh, so you're saying you have proof that God exists?

WOW!

Do tell!!

Hmm.......can you prove he doesn't exist?

Ah, one of my favorite logical fallacies:
argumentum ad ignorantiam, or

Argument from Ignorance

 

[Rilescat]

telling him to shut up or that you are a different belief (atheist, agnostic, whatever) won't stop him. He will just tell you how you are being worse than him by trying to stop him from practicing his religion.

I know...I have seen it happen.

You only option is to leave the situation. Quit the lunches, and stop hanging around so much.

Like you said, its america, we are both free to choose what we wish. Let the man sing if he wants to and stop contradicting yourself. Enough said.

Bah, that doesn' t even qualify you for the "nice try!" club.

When you singing about God, or washing your car or walking your dog interferes with someone else's way of life or quality of life, then it's a PROBLEM.

You obviously didn't have the attention span to read my entire post. You know...the thing this thread is about? Now go read "Participating in threads: A quality approach. 101" and submit your report NLT close of business tomorrow.

Why don't you ask your boss about Jesus, you know, just for curiosity's sake?

I find it bewildering that you guys get all offended by my use of the word "towelheads" yet continue to attack and berate me and my beliefs simply because you don't share them. That's why I hate "political correctness" - it's fine to mock Christians and insult them but the second anyone says anything derogatory or inflammatory about any other group it's "you're a racist/sexist/ignoramus etc..." Hypocrasy at it's finest.

Richard, for someone who harps about keeping the bible in hand and making informed decisions on religion, you might want to apply that same principle to evolution. If you honestly think that evolution states we descended from monkeys then it shows you're simply spouting off what some nutjob told you about evolution and haven't studied it for yourself.

I agree with your point though. I like to research anything as much as possible before I have to make a decision on it. Through my extensive research on Christianity, the core of it is fantastic--awesome life lessons to be gleaned. The problem is that there is a lot of chaff and everyone seems to disagree as to exactly where that ends and the wheat begins. For me, I consider spirituality to be an intensely private thing. It's something that everyone has available to them and that everyone will come to in his or her own time without being force-fed. Personally, I think it cheapens religion to make a public spectacle of it. And you can quote me the bible until the cows come home. It's as corrupted as any text that old would inevitably be. It's been in the hands of imperfect human beings for millennia--people with delusions of power and greed and agendas.

The fact that there is so much dissention even within the Christian ranks is plenty of evidence for me that NO ONE has it completely right. The point is to pursue the truth for yourself. Realize that life is full of questions, and your pursuit of those answers to those should only lead you to more questions. If all you're coming up with is answers, realize you're on the wrong path.

Nice post! I agree with most everything you've said. Everyone has to search for their own truth and that search NEVER ends until you die.

If the Hugh Hefners, foul music artists, and the like can speak publicly and no one get all upset then the same should be for those who speak publicly of Christ. If you was embarrarassed get up and move, if you don't like hearing the thanks given, leave or change the channel. But this is America jack and free speech is for all.

Classy, the guy started SINGING.

I also happen to find wanton swearing and cursing in public particularly classless, for the record.

HE WAS SINGING DAMN IT! HE WAS SINGING! IN PUBLIC!!!!!!! KILL HIM!! STONE HIM! STRING HIM UP!!!!

You are conveniently ignoring the facts. Firstly, anyone that bursts out singing about anything in public is considered a loon. Secondly, this was an eating establishment, not The First Secondary Church of John the Iconoclast Once Removed.

You just keep being a blind rat in a maze full of traps; see where it gets you in life.

Where I get in life is not only irrelevant to this conversation but unimportant to me. The only thing that truly matters to me is my faith in Yeshua and my adherance to the laws of G-d. Those who love G-d do not love life. Look it up in the New Testament.

Why can't you type the word God?

edit: haha i just realized there are 5 pages. Oops. Anyway, my question still stands.

 

[alkemyst]

I was really involved in religion due to my ex wife. I have found most of the 'saved'/'born agains' always brag how bad they used to be, but have now 'seen the light'.

Almost all of these guys would tell my wife (girlfriend) at the time how I was no good, a sinner, and how they know since they were there once. The funny thing is they just wanted to bang her themselves....some holy guys they were....

On top of that, I have a pretty great memory....most of these guys would contradict themselves constantly forgetting who they told what too and what they have done and didn't do....or have some other story come out that made their claims false.

Religion is a great thing, but many use it to make themselves appear better than others.

Those that sing or pray loud are not being fair to other's, almost every religion states one should keep to themselves and not 'preach' or try to convert. Offering good advice and mentioning God or the Mountain King as their Father and advisor is ok....but it becomes the same as saying my Armani suit and Johnson and Murphy shoes are so much greater than your 'Department store' blazer/pants and 'discount' shoes.

The funny part in this is I am rather crazy and if I get preached to enough, I will become God and start talking as 'You are very right, my son, but I do not want you sharing our secret with all these heathens...."

heheeheh

I've explained this many, many times. I'd put it in my signature to save time but that would go against principle. I omit the vowels from the names of G-d out of respect. If you want more information than that I suggest you go look it up on an Orthodox Jewish website. They do the same.

"Almost every religion states one should keep to themselves and not 'preach' or try to convert." ehhhhhhhhhh....... no. Sorry, you're wrong on that one. Maybe that's what political correctness says they should do but it's not the truth. I'm not sure where you got this idea as it's entirely untrue. Most religions say the exact opposite - especially Christianity. Christianity does say not to be a hypocrite by saying/doing one thing in public and saying/doing the opposite in private.

What's your issue anyway? Is it your duty to respond to every single post I make with sarcastic comments and insults? I guess you've never heard the saying "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." You're not hurting my feelings or anything, you can say whatever you want to about me. I would think that eventually it would get old though... I'm sure you can find easier targets who will actually take your flamebait, however.

You can believe in God if you want...fine...but not putting certain letters together in writing out of fear of being sent to Hell is just insane! WTF kind of man-made rule is that?


GOD: Arthur! Arthur, King of the Britons! Oh, don't grovel! If
there's one thing I can't stand, it's people groveling.
ARTHUR: Sorry!!
GOD: And don't apologize. Every time I try to talk to someone
it's "sorry this" and "forgive me that" and "I'm not worthy". What
are you doing now!?
ARTHUR: I'm averting my eyes, oh Lord.
GOD: Well, don't. It's like those miserable Psalms -- they're so
depressing. Now knock it off!
ARTHUR: Yes, Lord.
GOD: Right! Arthur, King of the Britons -- you're Knights of the
Round Table shall have a task to make them an example in these dark
times.
ARTHUR: Good idea, oh Lord!
GOD: 'Course it's a good idea!

It's in the Bible I have here that one should not preach and one is not damned for even marrying one who is not of like faith.

it's stupid and pretentious and you should feel like an idiot for doing it

Thanks for sharing. I'll keep that in mind when Judgment Day comes. I highly doubt you would have said that to an Orthodox Jew - at least, not to his face. Otherwise you'd more than likely be on the ground. These continuing attacks are just more evidence in support of my earlier statement about the double standard regarding tolerance of "worldly" religions vs. tolerance of Christianity. You can hate me and my beliefs until you're blue in the face but it's not going to change a thing.
