Lawsuit: CHRISTIANITY Required of Applicant

[custosnox]

Verse? Tongues?

Do you really think that being a Christian gives someone more knowledge on on verses?  It seems that in general, most atheists know more about the bible than most Christians.  As far as tongues, I assume you are referring to speaking in tongues, only a small percentage of Christians speak in "tongues," though I know some atheists that can as well.

I think you're confused. Two mutually exclusive events. The woman from Jersey who said everyone on the surface is "nice" made no comment about religion. It was more an observation about our unauthenticated "community."

Now the other conversation I mentioned was that dirty drug alcohol trying, through an inconsiderate Christian woman, to exorcise my demons .

Ahhh.....but it is the same concept, regardless if Christianity is brought into the conversation or not.  All show, no go.  And, you'll find that everywhere.  As if someone from the East coast could spot authenticity.  Not even if it bit her on her little Jersey hiney. 

I politely refrained from any comment as to the other topic of exorcising your demons.  An effort in futility, I'm sure.

Mrs C. I like you already. When I read that someone from Jersey was not impressed by Oklahomans being polite, nice and informed. I was like "Meh!" The main thing that I have always been proud of is if you ask for directions or need any kind of help here in Oklahoma. We true Okies will help you.
I don't have to worry about being directed to the nearest hood if i'm lost. I had a friend from California who was riding with me and I did the casual wave as you drive by another vehicle coming toward you and she asked if I knew them? When I said no she asked why I waved? TTC, Why did I wave?

Back on topic. My pastor from the pulpit said some of the meanest people he ever knew were Christians.
Real born again, live it everyday and by the word people do not use the word as Bible Darts and use it to uplift instead of tear down other people. They know that there are hypocrites among them. Just as in the real World you are known by who you associate with. Not casualy know.

Those hypocrites will agree with you and say the same thing about other Christians.

Almost every Christian considers himself/herself a "Real born again, live it everyday and by the word people". 

You know, "love thy neighbor", "do unto others", "turn the other cheek" unless the other person is a different religion, race, sexual orientation...all it takes is a leader to drive them to not-so-Christian ways.

Seriously Swake?...where you been?

Just the other night I hosted a dinner where one of my guests started in on me how I was doomed to hell for being a non-believer. And I was buying the drinks that gave her the guts to speak her mind. The gall.

You need better friends.

It's not Religion, It's relationship. A one on one type thing. I can't prey you or anyone else into Heaven. Only you can. A Church is only a place to be fed the word of God and to lift you spiritually. You chose where and who you worship with. And it is very hard to discern who is genuine from the pulpit. That is why it takes some time to find the right Church and spiritual family.

I don't mean a church leader.  Anyone can lead you into a belief, right or wrong.  You just have to allow yourself to be led.

All I know is beware of the person who speaks the loudest about being "devout".

If you have to tell people you are a devout Christian or follower of some deity, you probably aren't living it.

[RecycleMichael]

I think some churches misspell GOD by adding the letter L and it becomes GOLD.

[AquaMan]

Agree with that, Conan. Also beware of those who profess their religion to be superior. A woman we knew once assured us over dinner that she was a member of the one true religion...Catholicism. It is not only demeaning to be considered children of a lesser God but casts doubt on their understanding of their faith and faith in general. Not to mention creating some animosity towards Catholics. I'm sure other religions like Islam, also feel in their hearts that they are the one true religion and I know from experience that Baptists are sure everyone else is destined for hell.

Attitudes like that cause wars.

And according to some Pentacostals the Catholics are on an express train to Hell.

You know why Baptists don't have sex standing up, right?

The are afraid someone might think they were dancing.

There are only two people in all those pictures that I have listened to and believe they are actually living for God.

[JCnOwasso]

You can't discriminate due to race, creed, color, religion, age, disability.  Smoking, drinking, recreational drug use, non recreational drug use etc are not covered.  Mardel/HL probably don't get in trouble because they are smart enough to not base a hiring decision on those items.  It is retail, you can't be too picky.

There are many more.  It's all I had the desire to post.

Several have family in the business because it's so lucrative.
