Can you belive this!?

Question

Christian God fired for sharing God.

This would never have happened if she were Muslim or Atheist. What in the world is happening to this country. Muslims can refuse to scna my pack of bacon and not give rides to the blind - but Christians cannot be Christians outside fo their homes?

Christian Woman fired for sharing God....my apologies

Answer 1

Brad ... I'm very sympathetic, but I have no answer, unfortunately. God and bibles got thrown out of school and were replaced with free condoms. As thinking like this — "Me first and to hell with everyone else" — continues to escalate, we might reach a point like they've reached in Berlin. Check my link below to see how Berliners have "graduated" (not) to the point that they're killing infants ... NOT unborn embryos/fetuses ... I said INFANTS!

Answer 2

I am an Atheist. My point is, I don't have a dog in this fight. Even as an outsider to all religion, I have noted the uneven handling of different faiths.

I heard a news report only a day or two ago where a German Court decided that a Muslim man could beat his wife. Things are just out of whack. I fear has gone to far to ever be made right again.

Answer 3

Wow stop the blind paranoia here. Everywhere I go I see churches, Christians etc etc. Everything has God on something, personally it doesn't bother me to see it, but I am 100% sure that if Muslims or atheists had as much exposure and rights to put their religious icons up around the U.S. I know Christians would be outraged and doing everything in their power to stop it. Quit being hypocrites, no one is taking anything from you, you have just as much right to worship your God as anyone else, and on top of that you have more rights to profess your faith anywhere you choose without condemnation from others. This is a farce and myth because 10 out of 300 million don't like seeing a nativity scene. Big deal there are more important things in this world than those issues people.

Answer 4

I am a liberal and believe this was wrong-not so much because it's anti-religion(that's wrong, too) but because she didn't practice her religion during work hours! This is an intrusion of employers into an employee's personal life. Remeber the people that were fired because they were smokers that smoked only outside of work. Nobody cared they were fired-who cares about smokers rights. All rights have to do with all of us down the road.

In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

Answer 5

Whew !!....you had me worried there for a second.
I was wondering who God's boss was.

If she was fired from a workplace then shame on them. I have worked with folks who practised faiths that encouraged them to promote the faith like Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses and didn't find it offencive. In fact, we had a few good discussions

It seems like we are becoming too darn politically correct (like removing the 10 commandments from the court house) and we have taken it to the point that we have to watch what we say rather than offend a few thin skinned people who have nothing better to do than look for the slightest hint of prejudice.

I grew up in a predominately Jewish neighbourhood and as a Christian, we would take shots at our buddies with the occasional dig at the religion. No one took offence and we were accepted into their life style and they into ours.

At my age, it is indeed disheartening to see our social fabric disintegrate to the extent it has.
God bless that lady for sticking to her guns.

Answer 6

The article is very general and obviously one sided. There is no point of view from her co-workers or from the University itself. Muslims who proselytize would be treated the same. And, just to inform you, atheists don't proselytize. Since the University is government funded, there is this little thing called separation of church and state. And, so since she was working for the university, she represents it by anything she says. The article does not elaborate at all on the case, nor give other sides. I doubt she has a case, since it takes alot to get fired from a University these days, especially a Cal State University.

Answer 7

I hear ya! but honestly I think it would happen to a muslim too. If Americans even hear the word Allah, people would have a panic attack and call them a terrorist! Religious people have it bad all over! This is the future, one government, one rule, one law, one currency...for this to be true the gov. needs everyone to worship them and have no other fear or authority before them. Politics=poly tricks

Answer 8

That's about what it is coming down to thanks to the liberals and the likes of the ACLU. Since those planes hit the towers it seems we try to make muslims comfortable. Athiests demand the removal of a nativity from someone's property yet I live near someone who has so anti-war, anti-Bush, and anti-USA crap in his yard that really offends me yet I can do nothing about it.

This make make you feel better, a true story near me. There is a church and Jewish temple located right next door to each other on one street. At Christmastime the church put a nativity but part of their property was county owned or something like that. Okay, athiests complained, the nativity was ordered down. So the Temple next door who owned their property outright put the nativity on their yard. Gotchya!

Answer 9

to the first guy

It wasn't in the pledge until the 50's.. most just want to return it to what it originally was

separation of church and state

don't really care but it should be equal coverage if it's going to be there (you have to let the satanists place adds if you let the christians)

and to answer the question.. based on just the info in the article it looks like she did nothing to warrant her punishment.. she waited till she clocked out to put the shirt on and she talked on break time.. not company work time... so people could have just told her they didn't care to hear what she had to say and that should have been the end of it...

but that's just her side of the story.. I'd have to hear the Universities side to make a final decision.

Answer 10

I don't think she should have been fired.
but I understand the concern.
religious people who have the power to take away people's children are scary- upon hearing that a relative is gay or the parents are atheists they may judge them as a bad family.
I know they can't take them away under these circumstances but they can search for a minor infraction in order to remove them
