Tatsuma: A lot of you are bitter and pathetic individuals.

Present company excluded, of course.

canadianloon: Well at least they have the best retirement anyone can have:

Heaven.


Nope, they have the same retirement as everyone else:

Worm food.

Bitter yes. Also, dark humor is funny. The Xtian part isn't really integral to the funny except for the tax exemption.

I came in for Scientology-bashing pictures. I leave disappointed.

God I wish I'd gotten to this thread earlier because these comments are pissing me off. Usually religion threads are the most entertaining. Some people didn't realize they wouldn't get unemployment when they were laid off because they didn't understand tax law. So we're supposed to laugh at them because they worked for a religious organization/believed in God? I want to laugh at Scientologists and fundies as much as anyone, but I don't understand the rationale of everyone posting the "i love this story sooooooooo much" comments.

The punch line is, they may not even share the religious beliefs of their employers, but they work for folks farkers hate, so they deserve bad stuff, and we can all point and laugh. There's no hate like a fark hate.

'An employer' is a pretty euphemism for 'a user'. Why is this story so shocking?
 
2009-05-19 06:11:38 PM
Well, this is religious persecution if I've ever seen it.

Dude, they did work more worthy of unemployment than anyone else on Earth, most likely. You disgusting people find joy in this? It's sickening. What, honestly, do you people do that garners unemployment payments? You all exploit and steal from simple, innocent people who actually work for an honest living.

You all must be afraid of being revealed as the cheats you must be. The world depends on the teachings that religion, any religion, offers. With which without you'd all be hanged by your dirty reproductive organs. And don't call me a troll, either. That would prove you are dishonest and without original, valid thought.

Well... working for an employer who actually pays unemployment taxes certainly helps.

You miss the point. You also fail to see the point I'm trying to make therefore making you, as human beings, irrelevant. Without religion and faith, the people who have nothing to live for also think they have nothing to die for. No matter what they believe there is something beyond their lives that they can strive to achieve. Without that they fail to live up to anything and they assume that being torn down by the upper classes they figure all they can achieve is something after. Without that something after they become cutthroat and ultra violent. If you allow that you happen you beckon the fall of everything that you "respesct" and "love".

Tell the person that rapes your family to death that there is nothing afterwards and they regret nothing. That helps them live with what they did and allows them to live their last days with a clear conscience. In that scenario only you would suffer. Without religion people will only see their death as a natural course of life, with or without the judicial system judging them. Do you really want the person that rapes your family to death to live their last days conscience free? You must be sick.

In God we Trust. All others pay cash.

Sorry people, that's the rules.

You know, the interesting thing about your statement is that you're talking about "they" -- as in, you're looking at this from the point of view of someone who is "in on the joke" and morally superior to the poor unwashed masses who need religion to keep them from going completely apesh*t.

As for the "person who rapes my family to death" ... that was the punch line in an episode of "Reno:911". Interesting.

It must be a terrible burden going through your life thinking the way you do. How do you deal with all of us heathens out here in the big bad world?

If the only thing keeping you from committing rape and murder is your imaginary friend, you have some serious problems.

Big_Doofus:I've got news for you numbnuts. She did pay her taxes, it's the religious organization that didn't. That's how it works. The civilian employees (non ministerial) have to pay taxes at a regular rate, just like you and I. It is the organization that gets a pass on the unemployment taxes which is a bunch of crap. It is funny that these religious organizations make such a big deal out of helping others, but won't help their own people.

Uhhh... no. Your employer deducts from your paychecks for various taxes, such as state, federal, as well as medicaid, and unemployment. if they don't then you do not get the benefits. and if they didn't deduct taxes then you have to pay directly.

//wife worked for a municipality that didn't make unemployment deductions
//didn't know till she got laid off and couldn't collect
//could've paid in if we had known, but we didn't.
