From the "Goofy Religious Stories" File

Meh, it's another day of writer's block, so I'll just post to a couple of strange domestic religious stories that Yahoo horked up like a couple of hairballs.

First off, we have a Tennessee man who quit his job after he found the number "666" on his W-2. Oddly enough, the guy had another weird "666" run-in when his access card featured the number. Maybe God is sending him a message that he's really batting for SATAN! SATAN! SATAN! Maybe it's not so bad, and God is merely telling him that he should download some Iron Maiden tunes:





In Ohio, we have sentencing in beard-and-hair cutting attacks in an Ohio Amish community. In a plate of shrimp style bit of bizarrity, the ringleader of the cutting crew is named Mullet. It's a pity that these fanatics are besmirching the good name of the Amish, who are primarily known for their covers of Lady Gaga songs:





Looks like the hair-cutters got to him.

A bunch of years ago, upon returning home from a "girls' weekend", I discovered that my 6 year old son and 8 year old daughter knew all the words to "Number of the Beast". I remember I was torn between being crazy impressed or beyond horrified....I settled on being horrifyingly impressed... and more than a little annoyed with their father.

He was the undisputed leader of his group, counseling relatives on religious matters, negotiating drilling rights on his land and denouncing Amish who questioned his authority.

And that is what religious liberty is all about.

Yeah, d00dz'll do that sort of thing.

Ah, yes, the freedom to boss people around, and actually cause harm to some.
