In the Beginning...
I grew up and was raised Mormon. The following is why I am no longer Mormon.
In high school every now and then someone would declare something hidden or wrong with the Mormon church, at one point even a teacher.

likelyrarity asked: Hi,
I read one of your previous posts that was tagged under Air Force. I'm current just in the DEP . I haven't even been to basic yet but you had mentioned that you were a contractor, and that's the job I'm crossing my fingers for...but I was wondering if you could tell me how deployment works for contractors?

Definitely Defined.
The following definition of Atheism was given to the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Murray v. Curlett, 374 U.S. 203, 83 S. Ct. 1560, 10 L.Ed.2d (MD, 1963), to remove reverential Bible reading and oral unison recitation of the Lord’s Prayer in the public schools:

Me: In your bid information you submitted an hourly rate of $XX.XX; however, in the solicitation quotes were requested per a monthly flat rate. Please calculate your hourly rate over the estimated XX hours per week for a monthly flat rate.
Contractor: Well lets see, $XX.XX per hour multiplied by XX hours a week…times four weeks a month… its $YYYY.YY.
Me: I’m afraid the...

Regarding the "facetiously using 'Jesus' in place of my customer": Even if you had put a disclaimer at the top of the post saying that you were substituting your customer for God, it would still be offensive most people, including myself. Statistically only 16% (roughly) of the world's populous is...

In Offense of Nations.
Apparently my last post here has offended a few people by my depiction of people of faith. While this was not unexpected, it was more passionate than anticipated. Please allow me to clarify:

I am.
I’m a contract specialist. No I do not build things. I make other people build things. With money.
Actually I don’t even have the trust or authority to sign contracts, I’m the equivalent of a paralegal to an attorney. The paralegal does all the work, and then the attorney signs it. Well, I draft the contract, format clauses, provisions, wage determinations, solicit for...
