I`m here to assess your house....

[paul_valaru]

and save your soul? WTF!!!!

so guy is here to appraise the house, and me and Leslie™ were watching Mardi Gras coverage on CNN, and the guy starts with trivia..how long is lent?


I say 40...guy how long it is? 46 (spoiler)

well that leads his talking about the church, Leslie thows in`"funny the jewish guy knows the 40 days of fasting"

OY VEY!!! wrong thing to say. he asks me "so you don`t beleive in christ?" I say "nope" and it starts, how can you explain the millions of people who beleive (W.C. Fields) and PROOF (shit I thought the bible was a work of fiction written many years after this guys death, not that he was jotting down notes as he went along).

He brings up the 12 apostles died believing in him as proof of his existence/proof of his Messiahship and Leslie™ throws in people died for Koresh (I love her).

Oh and he says the Roman Catholics are wrong (ok, I agree) because the Russion orthodox are right (well I don`t agree with THAT) because it was founded in Jerusalem (huh? RUSSIAN orthodox).

We are going to hell and we have his blessing to make our own decision and choose to not believe.(WOOT!)

well, he was nice at least.

and we only had to pay $267.50 for all this info.

(oh and he says as we are debating, yes I held my own, i will not shake his beliefs..no problem, well you won`t shake mine either)


Leslie said good thing we didn`t tell him we don`t beleive in god at all.

Y'know, when someone's working at my house, the rule is "unless I'm paying for your opinion, I don't wanna hear it."

 

[HomeLAN]

Did you have anything riding on his appraisal? A loan or something? If not, I'd have shown him the door and called for a PROFESSIONAL replacement.

[unclehobart]

Yeah. I would call the company back and demand that they pay for a compettitors reappraisal because the nimrod they sent tried to put you through the Spanish Inquisition. His results are automatically tainted. Completely unprofessional. If he belongs to a guild or union, they need to be informed asap.

 

[Leslie]

That was one of the fucked upest things I've witnessed in a long while.
Seemingly random conversation turned into a conversion attempt before I even noticed.

I'm still a little wtf shellshocked. We`re going to see if the appraisal goes our way. If not, we have a question mark we can put on it.

Goes to show that America isn't the only country the fundies are trying to take over. I swear, they admire the Taliban.

Is he going to secede first?

 

[Gonz]

small difference. these folks, when told to piss off & die get offended & leave. The Taliban, when told, no thank you I'm taken, shoot you.

Sorry Gonz but it seems clear that many of them would in fact kill you for disagreeing if they could get away with it. Not most, certainly, but an alarming number.

 

[Gonz]

if they could get away with it

which is why the government may not make laws establishing a state religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

 

[chcr]

That kind of ignored the original point, didn't it?

I swear, they admire the Taliban.

 

[Gonz]

Since the Taliban is (was) government, I thought not.

 

[chcr]

Since the Taliban is (was) government, I thought not.

Not ours or Leslie's though. Point is that a lot of these fundamentalists want to be the government and rule in the name of god. That makes them just like the Taliban.

re your later added link...

Abortions, pornography and contraceptives will be banned in the new Florida town of Ave Maria, which has begun to take shape on former vegetable farms 90 miles northwest of Miami.

Tom Monaghan, the founder of the Domino’s Pizza chain, has stirred protests from civil rights activists by declaring that Ave Maria’s pharmacies will not be allowed to sell condoms or birth control pills. The town’s cable television network will carry no X-rated channels.

Hasn't the Supreme Court already noted something about community standards?

why is anyone pissed? a currently non-existent town has made it clear what the rules are. Nobody is being forced to move there. what's the problem?

Is it a city in the United States of America?

What if instead of only catholics he said only white people? Would that be okay?

 

[Slim Pickens]

I always heard that Monahan was crazy...(used to work for the company)

 

[Gonz]

Is it a city in the United States of America?

Key being, is it a city? Or is it an unincorporated community? Are the residents free to leave? Contract or law...that is the key.

 

[Professur]

This ain't the Real World guys. Take it outside.

 

[chcr]

Sorry.
