I work at the largest Bible publisher in the nation. It's probably the largest Bible publisher in the world. (I haven't really done my research, I suppose.) This is the company who gave a ten million dollar book deal to the parents of Jon Benet Ramsey. (The book was a dismal failure, and is currently being grinded.) This is the company who turned down the Left Behind series. This is the company who purchased a publisher of gardening materials as a step towards their goal of becoming 40% secular by 2005. I am part of that gardening publishing company. I turned in my resignation last week.

Our weekly company newsletter always begins with a Bible verse.

Our division lunches always begin with a prayer.

My boss can be quoted as saying things like, "I'm gonna raise H over this!"

I've overheard women in the bathroom passing verses on patience to each other.

I've heard men in the hall complaining that they don't have time to pray with their wives anymore.

I have fantasies of creating a Naked Women of the Bible pin-up calendar and distributing it via interoffice mail to the people who would raise some H about it.
