He won't date or marry, because all humans are family, he said, and that would make it incest.

Yeah, I'm sure THAT'S the reason he doesn't date...

[rellimpank]

----yeah---surprising he had time for a job, having to chase away all those beautiful women---

[Khurkris]

A family of wack jobs looking to law suit their way to easy street.

[Mr. Bird]

One called him "whacko"; another said he was "a great guy."

Can he be both?

[Docbarleypop]

Um, does Darwin's theory apply to this? We really shouldnt judge a guy like this harshly when he wont willingly reproduce. That has to be a good thing in this case.

"I have been discriminated against because of my religion, universal belief," he said

"I don't believe in any one religion," Lorenz said

This boy is confused.

This boy is Unitarian.

[Mercat]

Picture please?

Good, then the lowlife wacko won't breed, either.

Yeah, I'm sure THAT'S the reason he doesn't date...

Who cares why, just be thankful that he won't pass on his genes.

[Mears]

If Walmart settles on this case they will be opening up a real can of worms.

I'm sure the picture is a doozy. Nevertheless, no one is denying him religion or a job based on his religion. It's no different than coming to work in a bathing suit. It's inappropriate.

"I told them that would be like turning my back on God, and I couldn't do that," said the Pipe Creek man whose religious fervor was fueled by a 2001 trip to Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. . . .

Lorenz's mother, who works at Wal-Mart, said she's the only other adherent to her son's spiritual doctrine, which is now being put to paper.

"We haven't found anybody who believes as strongly as we do," said Catherine Lorenz, 44. "We were Baptists until about three years ago, and then we got really deep into this type of belief."



"Before I met Jeanine, my life was cosmically a shambles, it was . . . uh . . . I was using bits and pieces of whatever Eastern philosophies happened to drift through my transom, and she sort of sorted it out for me, straightened it out for me, gave me a path, you know, a path to follow."

[Xenalyte]

Freakin' hippies ping.

News of the dress code feud surprised Earl Floyd, a salesman at a Bandera auto dealership that last year gave Lorenz a 1985 Suburban after his old car died and he didn't qualify for financing on a newer one.

"I've seen him a dozen times, but never with the headdress," Floyd said Thursday.

Floyd, that's because Lorenz wasn't trying to bait you into a frivolous EEOC lawsuit.

[Iron Matron]

Can he be both?



If the person who said he was great is a whack-job himself, then that would not count.

The guys a whacko in need of a hand basket.

[Bacon Man]

He says he was fired last week upon reporting for duty in his priest's shirt with Roman collar, an Arab headdress and six crosses.

Sounds like he was trying to get fired.
