It's Bring Your Invisible Friend to Work Day!

[Hey, You!] The case of the Christ-bot boss

You were my boss, a Christian Fundamentalist. Not only do I not believe in any gods (the Christian one or others), but I also don’t want you to tell me about his plan for you. This is the workplace, you Christ-bot, and I report to you. You decide whether I get a raise or not, whether my family can have a better standard of living. In short, I have a vested interest in refraining from telling you that I think adults with invisible friends are stupid. Telling you your core beliefs are ridiculous and unfounded might just mean I don’t get a good raise this year. Keeping the Bible on your desk and quoting from it regularly does nothing but make me think you are an obvious imbecile who has never read any more than the “good parts.” So keep your superstitious nonsense to yourself at the workplace because not everyone shares your love of the invisible. Many people consider the invisible and nonexistent very similar.

    This is so flippin true. It BLOWS my mind how many mindless people there are in OC (or the world). If anyone of them actually picked up the bible and read each and every page they would see just how rediculous it is. Instead they listen to bits that their minister will read and be content with that. It is scary that in this age they are still reading words that were written thousands of years ago by people who thought the world was flat. They need to see there is far more evil and hate in it than good. evilbible.com read it it gives the verses for each person to look up for themselves and see just how evil it is. Religion was created to control the masses end of story.

    I can hear your boss now: "The Lord Jesus has just spoke to me!! He hast told thou that a 40 hour week is not enough!! Thou must toil 60 hour a week to receive thy Lord's blessing! Thou must also tithe 10% of your earnings to me, your master. So sayeth the Lord!" Also, it's a good thing you wrote this anonymously. These Gog freaks are big on revenge. If you named names you might just end up dead, or at the least have your reputation smeared. (So sayeth the Lord!)

    Since you write about your boss in the past tense, you should now feel free to tell him your version of "the truth." Instead, you choose to sound off in an anonymous forum.
