  • Proselytizing at the Workplace

    Every workday, "Parker" sits in the seat adjacent to my own in the employee cafeteria, and relates the nasty, lurid details of a capsized marriage.

    "I only get f----d once every few months, and she's sooooo domineering. My wife is just asking for a divorce."

    "Parker" is a fourth-generation, Boston-raised Mick: high-strung, heavy drinking, passive-aggressive. There's a certain desperate intensity that I find thoroughly entertaining in "Parker's" body-language and overall presentation.

    "Instead of getting sex, I have to resort to internet porn.......and man, do I have alot of it. She won't even watch it with me!"

    I see the whole pathetic tableau in my mind's eye: a balding, pasty-fleshed "Parker", frantically j-----g off to thirty second porno clips -- pulling and puffing-- until a couple meager droplets of --- dribble down the side of his half-e------n. It's feral...........unclean..........disgusting.

    Something moves me about Parker's failures.........the fact that his God-given marital union has succumbed to coldness, frigidity, and an obsession with non-nutritive c--k and c--t flicks. Finally, I gather up the boldness to speak my mind out loud.

    "Parker......have you ever thought about embracing the lessons of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?"

    Parker tells me that he's jaded with an abusive, Roman-Catholic upbringing. "My interests lie more in the realm of Buddhism, I guess."

    I wonder why it is that the lost sheep always move towards Buddhism, or some half-baked "Goddess" paganism. Somewhere, along the road, Christianity become the uncool kid among "world religions". Maybe the effort required to be a Christian is unappealing to the "thirty-minutes or less" generation, - a generation that would rather receive a neat and tidy clinical diagnosis like "bipolar" or ADHD, than deal with spiritual issues.

    I spoke to Parker some more about Christ's blessings and sacrifice, but I can only hope that he took it to heart.

    Such filthy language you use on God's favorite message boards!

    I do agree with the part that I put into italics, though. These young people would just as soon consult a psychiatrist rather than their local Baptist preacher. They really think that psychiatric medication will fix their souls, I guess.

    Don't they know that Jesus can fix their problems just fine?

    Matthew 4:23-24
    23And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
    24And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
    A baby is a human being, not a stem cell!

    Psalm 139:19-20
    Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
    For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

      The world of human affairs is a filthy place....a cancerous melanoma, festering on our Lord's most excellent creation. Sometimes you need to fight fire with fire.

        I believe people who use curse words, for whatever reason, cannot adequately express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Regardless, I am a simple man, and do not like to hear (or read) words such as those. They offend me deeply.

          Pal, you're lucky that you aren't one of Brother Eugene's boys. He'd have washed your mouth out with lye soap for spewing such filth.

          Sure, the world is filled with wickedness, but that's no reason to talk like a drunk sailor on shore leave in Yokohama. The world is in the shape it is because satan is hard at work in these End Times trying to destroy Christ's Kingdom. We do battle on behalf of Christ using rebukes from the Holy Scriptures, not potty mouth talk learned on the school playground.

          2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
          Who Will Jesus Damn?
