Union talk seems to have no place in the private stores of wal-mart.
The topic : I don't religion should be banned, if someone wishes to be religious that is their right. If someone wishes to not hear about that is another right. When these two conflict with each other is where we ahave a problem.

A Christian employer kept me on when he should have fired me because I got the job through some mutual friends that were Christians, and he assumed that I was as well.

[b]Darfius: It's not irrelevant, most people who reject Jesus nowadays do so without giving it a second thought because it's what Hollywood and the media does. A lot of people are being brainwashed.
No, they don't reject Jesus because of Hollywood. I can think of a lot of reasons to reject Jesus and none of them have to do with Hollywood. You're ...[text shortened]... e've always been prone to commit. You obviously have spent very little time in the workforce. [/b]

Originally posted by vistesdMaybe if you are out to lunch with a co-worker, a good start would be to pray before reseving your lunch.
Excellent question! Whether or not witnessing is accepted as appropriate depends on how the people in the workplace view it. If someone objected, I think the "witnesser" could be compelled to stop, subject to disciplinary action. I'm speaking in the context of the US, where free speech rights do not generally extend into the private sector workplace. ...[text shortened]... particular one I know about is union-talk. Can't remember any others; maybe someone else can.

I lied because I liked the guy and I figured it would bring him a little light in his life. Was that so wrong?
About Jesus being cool and popular, it is irrelevant. If I were a Born Again Christian, I'm sure I would have plenty of friends and others around me who felt the same way. Acceptance is acceptance is acceptance.
Do you have any opinions ab ...[text shortened]... ut spirituality in the workplace or have you never actually held down a real job in your life?

Sure it is. If I lie to save someone's life, I do declare it is justifiable. Maybe you should pare down your sweeping generalities to fit each instance.
