"But if he can do it by himself, why are we even needed!?"

It's more like "if we can do HIS bit, we don't need HIM", which is awesome.  Go ahead and fire my ass...But if you do, there will be no talk of my returning, because I would rather give Rush Limbaugh his monthly sponge-bath than come into this motherfucker every day, and if I leave I am NEVER COMING BACK.  I may leave ANYWAY, because this place makes me wish that I could catch EBOLA ZAIRE just so I could come in this fucking conference room and HACK UP MY LUNGS ALL OVER YOU PEOPLE, and then we could all HEMMORAGE TO DEATH together as one of those "team-building exercises".  Are you ready for that?  Are you ready for the VERY LAST THING YOU SEE to be an oversized bald bastard horking out his pancreas onto your iPad?  I wish to do SCIENCE on you with MY BARE HANDS.

AND ALSO A PLASMA CUTTER.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

It's worth noting that this was straight-up prophecy.

:eek:

I'm not sure if you mean as your workplace situation or as a literal omen of things to come... the big ebola scare of 2014 didn't even get going until like OCTOBER.

Listen here Holy Man you can't just run around and be dropping prophecies all over the place willie-nilley. It's bad for the continuity. Look what happened with John the Revelator!! Do you WANT to wind up like Ezekiel? HUH!? Flaming wheels Holy Man, WHEELS OF FUCKING FIRE!!!

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!!

2 Kings 2:24


Quote2 Kings 2:23-24King James Version (KJV)

23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

 

You see once you get the attack bears it must be ASSUMED that God already knew how that was going to go. It's a slippery slope straight to self justifying determinism. God made him bald and supplied the bears, but the little snots CHOSE to be little snots. BUT WAS IT REALLY A FREE CHOICE AT THAT POINT?
