Ok sure-- you could be doing EVIL just like at Thermotron--
yes many of the people i worked with at thermotron -- bragged they were doing EVIL
Yes as Thomas bannach said--- it does not matter what you do to any one-- or say about anyone--
so long as you get away with it -- blame it on someone else-- and you "Make-It!!
HUH??
yes -- at thermotron as Tom Patterson stated -- every-one one was lying about every thing--

and How Daniel J O'keefe brought a WHOLE New level of deceite to thermotron--
Mark Lamers says "gee don't you know Good people don't work here 4 too long?"
Whose side is God [god] on?
I suspect that a most common response might be: “mine” or “ours.”
Each faith and every group holds to their claim on God – god as “their own.”
Few if any groups or sects seem willing to share their possession of “their God – gods” with other faiths or sets of beliefs;
by which I mean to say: are willing to freely extend ownership to others of the very same God – gods they hold as their primary God -gods with other, holding onto differing belief-systems.
[yes, I do understand a willingness to share so long as they accept MY beliefs].
And yes; everyone; even atheist and agnostics have their “own gods“.
Pride, Lust, Greed, Wealth and Power, along with Sexuality, & Pornography are in there own way “gods” to a great many people. As ones’ God-god’s tend to influence who and what we are; who and what we choose to be, and have a huge influence, even if not holding outright control of our thoughts and actions.
I hold that this fact is undeniable.
Even within the realm of “christianity” there seems to be [must be?] multiple God’s.
This is provable by the thousands of differing sets of “christian” faith -beliefs.
Yet truth is singular,
so either there is just “One True” God, with His One set of True Faith beliefs;
or Christianities God is just “another god” among many other man-made; man chosen gods?
How can one know this?
Because even simple logic ought to lead everyone to know and understand, and conclude that each “God” or [god]” must have it’s own set of beliefs. Can any God [god] hold differing views [often even contradictory] on the same defined issue?
No; this is simply an impossibility. Except of course for the New Ager’s” who’s common claim is “it’s only TRUE if I say it’s true.” Still, Simple Logic denies this philosophy of self-interest being the only right judge, and holds that [any]
“One God – god” can and does hold only One view per defined issue as being the “truth of that defined issue;” because truth itself is and must always be only singular. Saying otherwise; even choosing otherwise, cannot and does not alter this reality.
So, “whose side is God-god” on?
God is on God’s gods side. It can’t be any other way.
What does this do to YOUR understanding of “your God-god?” being “The True God?”
“Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why then doth every one of us despise his brother, violating the covenant of our fathers?
“And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.”
yes there is a “one set of rules”
Acts 15
New International Version (NIV)
The Council at Jerusalem
Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe
. 8 God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us.
9 He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear?
28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements:
29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.
You will do well to avoid these things.
