Quitting your job over a quick shot seems a bit ridiculous, doesn't it? If your place of employment requires something, and you don't meet that requirement, why should you be entitled to keep that job?
Would you have gotten a job in the first place, if there was a requirement for employment...
Is it possible that you're the bad guy here? Have you stopped to think about that? Maybe needing websites to share bomb creation for murder isn't the best way to share the light of god...?

Wikipedia is a good overview of a topic and a great quick resource for other, more academic sources.
I also grew up in a world where Wikipedia was frowned upon. I often wonder whether it's actually better than it was before, or if our standards have just fallen so low that it's lifted up in...
Nah. Disagree. If you can't quote the Bible directly explaining this Trinity nonsense, then it's not there. It's just something you're taught to believe. Same with Yahweh being the only god...
