I guess I could describe my current religious beliefs as being a
"Jeffersonian Agnostic". Otherwise considered a religion of one.

As far as "Organized Religion" is concerned, I have become extremely jaded.
For the longest time, I was pissed at "The Almighty" and his "Minions" until I
realized that they weren't Her/His minions, they are followers of MEN who profess
to have "God's Ear" and claim to sit at the feet off JESUS and receive your
marching order directly from him. At one time I was "neck deep" involved in a
"Penticostal style" cult. Oh, I know it was a cult, ALL insult intended.

I've also have had the misfortune of working for three businesses owned and
run by Mormons. Each time these working relationships have ended badly. It
seems that if you are an "Infidel", any "God Fearing" Mormon can lie to you,
steal from you and in general abuse you in any manner they see fit.

You might find a chalk outline of a human body, some spilled catsup and a few
copies of "Watch Tower" scattered about on the front porch,
are an effective Jahova's witness repellent.


My great-grandfather, who was a devout catholic, lived with my grandparents for
the longest time. Great-grandfather, my grandmother's father and my grandfather
HATED each other. When the Jahova's Witnesses would come knockin,' Grandfather
would  invite them in and sit and listen to them talk as he drank his beer because
Great-grandfather would not come out of his room while they where there.
