The guy in charge of my office's parking lot got a new haircut, living his hair really short, so I joked with him about falling asleep at the barbers chair and asked him why he didn't shaved his head given that he had left so little hair. His answer blew me away, "I can't do that" he said, "church does not allow us to do so, 'cause it is a sin and you could end in hell".
My first reaction was he HAS to be joking, so I joked back at him saying that then I had a sit waiting for me next to satan as I'm going bald, but his answer was even more shocking, he said "you don't have to worry about that because that's the way God made you, you should be more worried about dancing, drinking and having homosexual friends". Then, proceeded to take out his bible and started to read what he thought were great quotes that justified what he had just said.
The conversation, if one can call that a conversation, lasted for another 5 minutes in which he declared with all certainty that Jesus had never had an ounce of alcohol - seems like they have discovered strong evidence that confirms that the wine that the bible says he made at the Canaan's wedding was only grape juice- and he never befriended with hookers and other questionable characters - all of the sudden Mary Magdalen had changed her profession to immaculate God servant-. He went on how the evolution is crap and that science books that show about it have to be burned.
I really didn't objected what he said, I've met a lot of people like him in my time, but surely non as passionate as him, and knew that trying to reason with him was futile.
That was yesterday, and now I'm sitting here in my desk realizing that this guy knows more about me than I had realized and that he has already passed judgment on me and is sure that I'm condemned to hell, all of this based only on observation: who are my friends, what I have in my car, my profession, etc. It's really sad that in our times so much ignorance and hate is thought by so called "religions", but what really pisses me off, is that there is so much people out there stupid and eager enough to believe this bullshit and act accordingly.
