I just got totally burned at my new job. They admitted there was nothing wrong with my quality of work. They wouldn't admit it was because I complained of harrassment, some of it harrassment about being jewish. They also didn't like my rejections of invitations to attend church. But when they fired me, they just said "it's not a match, for whatever reason". Exact words. Two of the worst offenders had a discussion out in the open when I wouldn't let one of them put a cross on my dry-erase board about me needing to get drummed out of the job as my punishment for not accepting jesus. I don't see how this helped them any, and it certainly didn't convince me to accept their viewpoint either. If christians are so holy, why are they so demonic when they find out we're jewish? I don't think jesus would have done that to any jew. Also, this isn't the first time this has been done to me. I don't think I want to 'play' with christians anymore.

Hire a lawyer and sue them. It's called racial discrimination. But to answer your question, it's not all Christians who are like that but the insecure ones.

This isn't right. I wouldn't and have never insulted someone of Jewish descent and I am a faithful Christian. These "people" have probably never had education about other religions of the world which is a shame because that education has made me accept and appreciate other religions, not just Christianity. If this was the only reason you were fired I would sue the company or individuals for harassment and/or discrimination.

I don't know any Christians who dislike Jews. Sounds like you just had an idiot boss and a bunch of idiot co-workers who were ignorant and small minded.
Personally, I love Jewish people. This may not be right, but I go out of my way to find Jewish doctors because in my opinion/experience, they're the best. I guess that's a stereotype of sorts, but it's a good/true one as far as I'm concerned!

What I would do is sue the company(unless MA that I know of). Don't tell anyone that you are one of the chosen people and stay out of religious conversations. Anyways that place sounds messed up "put a cross on my dry-erase board about me needing to get drummed out of the job as my punishment for not accepting jesus." Would you have really wanted to stay?

The Christians to which you refer are Christian in name only. Assuming that your description of them is accurate, they did not practice what Jesus preached - love. Going way back, the Jewish establishment in Jerusalem (and in Asia Minor)had a problem with the early Christians (Read Acts in the New Testament). Later the roles reversed. Both sides were wrong. Since we're on the topic, the Nazis were not Christians but pagans. The guilt of many in the church was a lack of courage to stand up for their Jewish countrymen. However, many Christians in Europe generally performed courageous acts to protect thousands of Jews from destruction. I believe King Christian of Denmark made all of his citizens wear Stars of David in solidarity with his Jewish subjects. He himself wore one. I'm sorry for what happened to you but want you to know that I am one Christian who most certainly would not do that. Nor would the Lord Jesus.
Blessings to you!

1st question: Where do you work? Or rather where did you work.
There are lots of jobs and lots of people. Everybody has different beliefs and some christians are still sore that Jesus was set up by jewish folks. Just the same, Jesus was a Jew and a good one at that.
Sometimes people just suck, regardless of the religion.
BTW: if your review was good, and they couldn't state a reason, you might have a case.

Please don't judge all of us by some of us. I am sure there are some Jews that are not nice people too. I would not say all Jews are not nice just because I found a few that were not. I admire Jewish people, I have never known a "dumb" Jew. Every Jewish person I have ever known were very intelligent.
As a Christian, myself and most of my Christian friends are somewhat envious of Jews, because Jesus was a Jew. Please let me apologize for those of us who are hateful and hurtful. Jesus is not proud of those who offend you.

i dont blame you..i didn't know that jewish people didn't believe in god/'accept jesus'..i learn something new every day! (as you might be able to tell, i don't know anything abt religions...)
you should go to the police. especially if this has happened before. or you might get a lawyer and try to hold them accountable. it is illegal to discriminate based on religion, sexual preference, race, age, gender, etc. There was an act passed about it in like, 1973 i think.
and, why in the world are you working in places where the subject of religion even comes up?? i'm pretty sure it's illegal to even have your employer ask about it.

If this is true then i think you have a serious case of religious bigotry which i thought was outlawed in the states. In the US there are powerful Jewish political bodies you can turn to. I am a christian and in no way do i spurn anyone due to their creed and beliefs and at the end of the day we both worship the same god.

I am a christian and I don't think you should categorize all Christians the same. I don't care what religion a person is. Granted, there are some people out there that give Christians a bad name, but we are not all the same.
You have a nice law suit.
