My Boss and I had a theological debate...

[BIGUN 1,490]

So, my boss, Ed (who's from a little town in Texas of about three and a half rednecks and one old lady) and I are driving down the highway in Houston and got into a theological discussion. And, when I told him I didn't believe in the construct of "Hell," I thought his head was going to explode. He tells me in a very animated way, waving his finger at me, driving across a couple of lanes of traffic, "Well Brother, you better believe in Hell; cause this time, I'm telling you... YOUUUUU'RE WROOOOOONG!!!' When Ed tells you, "You're wrong!!!" It's best just to not pursue the conversation any further.

After driving in silence for a few more minutes on the same major Houston Highway filled with traffic doing 90 MPH; Ed asks me, "Do you want to go to Heaven?" And, I said, "No." I thought his head was going to explode. Ed hollered, "'I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!" Finger flying at me, swerving all over the road in disbelief... You mean to tell me that when YOU DIE, you don't want to go to Heaven?!?!?!?!"

I said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought maybe you were getting a group together here on the highway to go right now." I thought his head was going to explode.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

The moral of the story is clear: never talk about religion at work, unless... well, you know...

Oh, don't worry, he won't be talking about religion at work for long. It will stop one way or the other.

Nah, he's not only my boss, but a friend. We argue like brothers all the time. We have a unique kind of relationship.

Reminds me of "Everybody want go Heaven, nobody want dead"

How old are you? And you haven't figured out that you shouldn't talk about religion at work? Politics either, unless you actually work for a political organization.

God issued most people a filter between their brain and their mouth; apparently he issued me a conduit. Kinda reminds me of Ron White's getting arrested when he said, "At that point, I had the right to remain silent. Unfortunately, I did not have the ability."

Me neither, after all these years my mouth still works faster than my brain,

I have been warned several times about sharing my theological views at work. Well, within earshot of the bosses wife anyway. Its funny how strident people are, seeing as she spends all Sunday, every Sunday at the DZ and not at church.
