Maybe the way you said it, it does sound rude. But you do have a right to follow your beliefs. If someone should suggest something that your not interested in doing maybe it would be less rude of you to just walk away and not say anything at all and by doing this, you can follow your beliefs and it also keeps the peace at work. Just a suggestion! Good Luck!

Yep, very rude. If you didnt want to pray you could have politely declined and quietly waited for the others to fisnish up their prayer. You walked all over those peoples beliefs who wanted to pray didnt you? You shouldnt complain no one trashed the way you believe they were just expressing something that they believed and there is nothing wrong with that. Using such harsh language in a work place you should have been fired.

Well, it was rude to use obscenities to make your point. All you had to do was say "No, thanks, I don't pray," and either leave the room or just sit down. If your boss or coworkers start pressuring you to pray, you have a legitimate case against them for harassment, i.e. creating a hostile work environment, which is a violation of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) rules. If they persist, don't quit the job and call a lawyer who specializes in harassment litigation. However, your initial use of obscenities might hurt you in the long run; I suggest using a LOT more restraint next time.

Using the fuc- word is always rude and lowlife.If you do not pray , you could have just said no thank you. They were NOT walking all over your beliefs. It called having different beliefs. You were the one walking verbally all over their offer for you to join. Have you never been invited to anything before. You do not know how to say no thank you politely? Grow up.

The way you said it was very rude. You could have been a little more diplomatic and said: sorry, i don´t think that´s appropriate or i don´t feel comfortable with that so i´ll be outside and let me know when you are done.
Of course it was also rude of her to suggest prayer at the workplace without obviously knowing if it´d offend anybody.

Work is not a place for prayer - unless you are with a close friend you know feels the same way.
HOWEVER- I would have just looked at them and wlaked away without saying anything. Using language such as that is inappropriate and in most companies SHOULD get you fired.
If anyone does something that makes you feel uncomfortable you should discuss that with your HR department.

yes that was rude. you say that you dont like it when people walk all over your beliefs well you did the same to the other person by not respecting their beliefs. you could have just said " excuse me, not all of us pray and share the same beliefs as you". there was no need to go off like that.

Your wording was really rude. You could have at least said sorry I don't believe in praying and go to another part of the room. They have rights too

Both actions were inappropriate. Your response to her was rude. You could have said that you don't share the same beliefs as her and that you don't feel it is appropriate to request group prayer at work. You owe her an apology for your rudeness (you could have responded differently) and she owes you an apology also for imposing on your beliefs. I think you should apologize first - what she did might have been inappropriate but you insulted her directly.

Nobody defies you? If this actually happened, you were rude and self-centered. However, before I judge you (because God said not to - in the Bible), I think we should join hands and pray.
