Referrals from God "Looking for a Real Estate Agent that answers to a High

"Looking for a Real Estate Agent that answers to a Higher Authority?? You've come to the right place!"

In a business where many of the players answer only to their own greed, the idea of real estate professionals who wear their morality on their sleeves is oddly appealing -- even for a bleeding-heart heathen like me. So it was with a perplexed sense of envy that I discovered the Web site of the Christian Real Estate Network, which offers home buyers and sellers the opportunity to find Christian real estate agents around the country, as well as the chance for such professionals to refer their clients to other "Bible believing" professionals.

Its agents, the Web site asserts, have "the integrity and moral standards" necessary to "take you through the process ... with your interests at heart." (They even pray with you.) "Each agent is accountable to God first ...," the hard sell concludes. "This is why we believe that working with a Christian Real Estate Agent is far superior than working with any other agent."

Good for a Friday laugh.

with a pocketful of cash and let on that you made your money in gambling? or prostitution? or as a liquor store owner?

my bet? they'd take that "dirty money" as fast as any other.

2. I had a Christian Logo Mechanic.. he fixed the fly-wheel but forgot to fix
to have the 5th gear repaired when he put the engine back in the Nisson.. i was livid but agreed to pay him 80 dollars to remove the engine and fix the tranny. he ended up charging me $180 and the 5th gear failed again in 6 months but i am in another state now.

I told hilm to get the BEST clutch, spare NO expense, because it cost so much to take out the engine to fix it.. he put in an AUTO ZONE parts in and didnt put my name and phone number in their computer so i cant access the Life Time warentee.

aparently he sold out and the new owner got tired of redoing his work and he had the warentees voided.. from the shop.

i dont trust anyone, christian or otherwise.. buyer beware..lousy service, lousy work, and crummy g*d D*mned F***'n bull sh*t Chineese parts.

3. "No Jews or Dogs Allowed"
This is not about ethics. It is about exclusion.

4. I saw an ad recently for a christian loan association. Loans by and
for christians. What a gimmick. I bet we see more of this in the future. If you can't beat 'em, rip 'em off!

5. "accountable to God first"
of course.....that's why they rape our Mother Earth like a gang of outlaw bikers wired on animal stimulants.

When I see a fish I shop elsewhere, they obviously don't want my business.
