Its wierd...at first I thought it was a prop for some sort of play the theatre department was putting on...but today, I noticed that he had written on the side: "Jesus loves you." Apparently, this fellow, a man in his 40s, feels that by hauling a cross, Jesus style, with a wheel at the bottom I might add, that he can convert some wayward students back onto the path of Jesus-lovin'. :confused:

How do you do the "rolling eyes" emoticon?

I go to the UT Austin. If he'd put the cross down...I suppose I could devise a plan to steal the wheel. :)

Ha! Anybody ever read The Prince of Tides (not the crappy movie...the book is amazing)? There's a character in the book who does that...

Anyways, I'm used to stuff like that in New Orleans. Every night on Bourbon Street, there's a group of guys, one holding up a 12 foot cross and several others passing out Christian propaganda. The outside of the fliers is printed to look like a $5 bill, so when the drunks see one on the ground, they pick it up. :) They really get in the way when the streets crowded, considering they stand right smack dab in the middle of the street.

I love how all you people who use their lives to sit behind a computer and play with yourself, can criticize people.

He could have a disorder, or he could be just trying to help some people. I don't care what religion you believe in, all religions have good messages.

You are probably the same people who think the Salvation Army people at Christmas time, a drunk homeless person lying on the street, or a handicap person is funny. I hope you will take their place.

Grow up and act like you belong in college, not 3rd grade.

In a way, I am glad you are idiots, because after all, there will a few less people to compete with for the good jobs in the future. Can you say "Supersized"?

It is people like you that I chose my user name. LOSERS!!!!

Although I hadn't responded to this thread yet, I gotta say something about that last post.



<< It is people like you that I chose my user name >>



You tell US to act like we belong in college and not 3rd grade, and you are the one who kicks out a sentence like THAT!? And, along those lines: not intending to put down your average cashier at a fast food joint, but your grammer is worse than the worst I've seen yet. At least they got as far as high school.

Somethingwitty:

I am sorry for having to type a response fast. I should read it over before sending.

I have no doubts on my intelligence, but thanks for the concern.

When you have a great job, great pay, and get to live overseas as a job perk, then you can call me a &quot;cashier&quot;.

I was making a point. I was not writing a paper or a report I will be more careful when responding to threads when I start receiving a paycheck from the &quot;Off Topic Forums&quot;.

Thanks

THIS IS BULL$HIT!!!!


I HATE ALL THIS STUPID ASS CHRISTIAN PROPAGANDA!!!!!!


this makes me think that this religion is nothing but an operation to force their beliefs on everyone.

i know this isnt the case for all christians, i know this isnt the case for most christians. but if i wanted to be &quot;SAVED&quot;, i would come to YOU!!!

why dont you save yourself some money and stop printing those DAMN BOOKS!!!!


another thing is, this makes me think that Jesus could have been a little off the rocker. how do we know that he wasnt crazy, and just had crazy followers, who through their oppressive methods convinced people that jesus did wonderful things?

thats why i believe huge organized religion is a cult. i dont follow ANY religion to the T. i have my own beliefs composed of GOOD morals and ideas from all religions, but i would consider myself a hindu for legal purposes.

i dont LIKE going to temple, i dont LIKE going to church, i dont LIKE going to any place of worship, mainly because i think god is everywhere, especially the poor.
