gotigrz's Christianity topic, part 2 Options

[gotigrz]

Someone i think badman or merica actually asked ed in person and he admitted being a christian. im pretty sure his is a little more of an open faith (i remember a recent interview where he stated that praying doesnt do much good in the world) I know he thinks the bible is the best source of morality and guide for mankind but im not clear if he believes in the divinity of jesus or that he was born of a virgin etc...

well, if ed said that he was a Christian, then he does believe in the virgin birth, the dying on the cross, and the resurrection 3 days later. that is the criteria of being a Christian. nobody says, .. "yeah, i'm a Christian, but that whole virgin birth thing is just crazy."

when ed said that about prayer not doing much good (i heard the interview)... he was referring to prayer that he thinks isn't really "prayer". he was saying that when you are truly in prayer with God that you are like one with Him, and that most people just close their eyes and ask for something. and, that THAT isn't doing much good cause that's what most people do and look at the world around us. PRAYER... aka... truly talking to God is VERY powerful.

Thought this might at least amuse some people (possibly even gotigrz). There's been a bit of a reshuffle at work and I've had to move desk and I've been moved next to Claire the crazy Jesus Lady. Even Gotigrz would have to admit that this woman is just batshit insane. I'd heard about it but never had much to do with her until now. She's like some weird scotish cripple who's left side of her body doesn't quite function right .. but he's got no learning problems or she's not got bellspasy or anything. Possibly a stroke or something.

Anyways, she's insane .. it's been 2 days and already she's praying for my soul. I'd heard you can't take the lord's name in vain around her ... today I sneezed about 6 times in a row and at the end just said "God!" and she flipped the fuck out. Suddenly in the middle of the office she said a prayer for me. She hits herself in the head constantly when she gets frustrated because she believes it is self punishment for not getting things right "in God's eyes". She sings hymns at work. Her desk is just decorated in Christian symbols of all sorts, print outs of bible passages, crucifixes, jesus pictures, two bibles and rosary beads.

She's driving me insane, I dont even dare start any kind of argument with her. Gotigrz is a beer swilling, foul mouthed, devil worshipping heathen compared to this lady.
