Proof that some Fundies get nothing out of reading the Bible
I was sent to a training seminar for my job. This seminar was to help improve our customer success skills as well as to help us get along with coworkers better.

While I was at this training there was this pompous airbag who loved to "lecture" the class on his experience. At lunch I had the misfortune of sitting by him. He immediately tried to make himself feel superior to me by quizzing me on ridiculous trivia. I shut him down immediately by answering the questions correctly. He then felt pretty stupid so he told me he needed to go back to the classroom to study....but study what I thought??

Well when I got bak to the classroom I saw he was studying the bible...nothing wrong with that...

Well the class was instructed to take a personality test and there were a number of different personalities but 3 of them were considered bad ...one was Rob, Con or Borrow... and lo and behold....the Fundie was aghast to find out that he had the Borrow personality...basically means he is a taker...not a giver...I found this hilarious....

When we left training I saw him drive off in his vehicle with a Bush sticker...it was appropriate...

The second day of class he was just as arrogant and he made sweeping generalizations about people...."No one has values today"....

Clearly this man isn't learning anything about compassion, love or peace in that bible... so sad but so common...

1. Fundamentalism is merely the cloak that the
vile underworld is using, this time, to attempt to destroy the world and us with it.
Ignore their temptations and pledge to fight them to the very death...

2. "No one has values today"
Someone should have asked if that included him as well.

Their self-righteousness is simply amazing, isn't it? And sickening too.

3. I'm hoping that you weren't the only one that noticed his behavior.
Did anyone else in the class have a similar reaction?
