We have the person who's like the vegan version of a fundamentalist, does that count? She goes around complaining about meat, scolding people for wearing leather, etc.
The rest of us vegetarians in the office all try to avoid eye contact with her, lest we get a rant about how we're not doing enough to save the African Sea Monkeys or something.
I imagine that this is what the moderate or liberal Christians feel like when a fire and brimstone fundie walks into the room and starts telling people they're going to hell.

I work in public education so you wanna take a guess? An internal mail system that incorporates 17 schools and about 6 different office buildings....you know that is too hard to resist by some.
I have hit the "reply all" button a few times to tell them what I think and I know that the header of the email (that states who the recipients are) was about 1/2 the screen, and that's in small size font.

We have the really devout guy, but he doesn't forward prayer requests... to me anyway lol Probably because he knows I'm a Heathen.

Nope. You have to do that for yourself. The church can pray in agreement to prayer requests, however, you have to do some praying on your own as well. You would not be in a ministry office if your prayers could not even clear the roof of the church. If you can't pray for yourself...it is doubtful that anyone else can do much for you as well. You first have to make a decision to allow Christ to be the Lord of your life. The only way to be reunited with God is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. That is your only means of salvation.

I have this total nut in my office that forwards every prayer request that he get,
He belongs to this prayer chain,
and every time he hears a prayer request he forwards it to his prayer chain,
but it really doesn't bother me at all,
I work at home,
and I am the only one in my office.

I've never worked with a prayer requester.
My friend works for IDG, the computer magazine group. He made a joke about working on Good Friday could get you crucified, and he got along essay in his email about the importance of Christ dying for his sins.

Mine doesn't. But then again I am the Network Admin for a Geological consulting company. It is mostly Masters and PhD level scientists. There isn't much religion here at all. And the one guy who I know is religious is Hindu.

I don't work in an office, but we do have a guy who always carries his Bible around on the production floor. He is a very nice guy and doesn't preach, surprisingly. Guess that's why nobody minds.

No, I work for a state entity. Individuals can email each other of course, but that limits it to people who would really want them to begin with. But if someone is really upset about something and asking me to pray helps them, I don't mind.
Edit--Skalite--yes, somewhat.

I'm blessed with two of those dimwits...
They are fun to debate with, you should hear them go on about how there is no such thing about global warming and how locking up the homosexuals and HIV people isn't all that bad of an idea.
