[asterisk-biz] [REALLY REALLY OT]

[Paul]

Anybody who doesn't want to discuss Jesus Christ shouldn't mention the
name in the first place.

If I go to lunch with a prospect, I will abstain for alcohol and I am
not afraid to bow my head for a quick silent prayer before I eat. Maybe
I lost out on some deals because the guy saw that and realized he had
said "Jesus Christ" or "God damn" to me. That's life in this modern world.
