Most of my coworkers are fanatical Christians. They post scriptures all over the work area and play gospel CDs. I feel like being a rebel and playing my Korn CD one day!!!

Tell the Freaks to turn it off. They have no right to post scripture around the office or force you to listen to gospel. Start dressing in all black and go heavy on the eye shadow. Black lipstick is good to. When they ask you about it ( and they will), tell them that you worship Lord Kimboat, the true savior, who will return and save all of his animal creations before the Holy Jihad. You take it from there. Have fun!

Option #1 - talk to the boss about your feelings. Most work environments have a radio playing music. If it is too loud or offensive, why not just ask for it to be turned down or off. As your boss is it okay to post items that make you feel comfortable as well. This may cause them to rethink their policy, or give you shared space. All in all if you fear or don't have enough courage to do option #1, Maybe you should try finding another job. That was option #2.

I have a very polite way of dealing with co-workers who are playing music that annoys me. I offer them my headphones. They get the point, and since I do it in a kind and subtle way, nobody's feelings are hurt.
You could talk to the boss, but make sure you make your complaint work related, for example, "I know we have a policy of allowing music in the workplace, and that makes a more friendly work environment, but I find it a bit distracting, and am afraid you might not be getting my best work. Can we have a maximum volume policy, or require people to use headphones?"
The policy at my workplace is if the person at the next desk can hear it and it bothers them, you have to use headphones. If it can be heard in public or communal areas at all, you have to use headphones.

Be carefull. A friend of mine was in the same situation. He got a bit fed up with it one day and made a couple of remarks that offended the christians.
About a week later they cooked up a scheme that made it look like he had screwed something up big time. He ended up getting fired.
Grin and bear it, is my advice,
Love and blessings

Are you allowed to play your own music? Then, by all means, bring your CD's! (maybe something a little "friendlier" than Korn, though).

No you should not... I am of The True Christian Faith and if I worked there I would tell them to put on earphones... or turn it off... I detest music played openly in the work place.

God Bless you, Rebel if it will make you feel better. But trust me God will love you more than Korn will. Got it?

Well, legally, you can talk to your boss about this. However, that might have a backlash (which is illegal). I would suggest looking for a new job or learning to like "Walking with Jesus"

I'd recommend either Hell Awaits or Reign In Blood by Slayer.

If it offends you and you are the minority there you may just have to take to wearing headphones and bringing your Korn cd with you.
