On Friday, a coworker, who is a jehovah's witness, began putting a group of us down for celebrating Christmas, she was making some really insulting comments, telling us we don't know the "truth" and badgering us for our beliefs(she's done this many times) everyone was getting mad , so I said "if you feel that strongly about it, give your Christmas bonus back to the boss". She said if we get it, she should too. I asked "why, if you don't believe in Christmas and don't celebrate it and its so wrong, then you are a hypocrite to accept the bonus, and as a matter of fact, you are a hypocrite to accept our holiday pay since you don't celebrate our holidays". She said if we get those perks, she should too, and that she shouldn't be singled out or penalized for her beliefs, So I said its like a vegetarian accepting meat, even though they don't eat it, even though they don't agree with it, taking it simply because everyone else got some. Should I have just shut up and let her put us down?
