Its more about your character and Integrity and the way you carry yourself-even your work ethic.

Morals and integrity have nothing to do with religion. Greed, corruption, and hatred is more like it.
 
I never mention religion! But true religion is this bro-
Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

Everything you are saying is about religion! I'll tell you this, (and I mean this with everything that I am) if I had one wish, it would be to end poverty and give every human being on the planet the same opportunities.
 
I was raised a Jehovah's Witness. Children don't question what they are taught, and in my youth I was an emphatically viral prostelyte. I published Watchtower magazines, Bibles and books not just to my schoolmates but in the Elementary School faculty staffroom. If you lived within 50 miles of me, we knocked on your door, saving you from certain extinction at Armagheddon.

When I achieved my age of reason, around 12 as it happened, I widened the scope of my study. I read "banned books" about life science, discovered how evolution actually works, cosmology, philosophy.

But I'm still an avid prostelyte, when required. Bring prayer into my workplace, you will receive an unwavering reduction of your position.

But online...I can't be bothered. Not worth my breath.

Be careful...this has lead to lawsuits. Whatever your intentions may be, mixing religion into the workplace, especially by management/owner, can lead to problems.

We are on a forum, right? Is this not a place to be discussing things? Or are we on a leash to only discuss approved things?

Just askin...

Freedom of speech. If your boss can't hang, time to move on

It's all the same in the end right, when your 6 ft under? Kinda sounds more like communism than religion

I think that this should also be moved to the Tree-Free Zone.

Personally, I think that a company ought to have total freedom of safe religion in the workplace, and let the government focus its nose on its own stacking problems.

Is this to say that you would pay your employee to kneel facing Mecca and pray to Allah in the middle of a client consultation, or would you support what Ramtha and her school of Enlightenment require of their cult members, and David Koresh, and what about the the Jains? What if a Jain believer got a job with you, then you had to wait while they brushed a feather before they took every step so an not to inadvertently kill any bugs. Imagine the rate of raking. But, since there is freedom to practice all forms of religion, you are required to continue paying this person, while they practice their religion at work.


I think the people should be able to have a safe place to worship any god that they want. Its often called a church, or a synagogue, or a home. Same place that they can tell stories about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. Anyone can make up a religion. I could be the next prophet and demand that everyone bow to me whenever they approached me. This would be freedom to practice religion. Every religion. Even the one's not made up yet.



Isn't this just setting up an "old boys' club" where people, being people, will hire one of their religion members over a slightly more qualified applicant, even though their choice is inferior?

This is really a topic for another thread, but equal opportunities was pretty vague huh?

I believe a complete restructuring of our current civilization (and I mean everything)is necessary for the survival of our species. The concept of a monetary based economy is fraudulent at best, and does nothing but enslave the vast majority of the population.

The fact that we still burn dead plants for energy is ludicrous. The amount of technology and energy available to us is staggering, and the messed up thing is, it should be available for free. Most sheeple are just to brain-washed and blind to see it.

I could go on forever but its way passed my bedtime.

To be continued...

I used to be pretty tolerant of freedom of religion. Now, If someone tells me they believe in god, I automatically deduct 30 I.Q points off the top of whatever it might have been.

It's time to wake up guys. We need freedom FROM religion!

Guess you and many others could reduce God's own IQ to a minus number.

No sweat off his back though. Its still a rating from Homo sapiens who still don't know where they came from, nor where they they will be a 100 years from now.

So the grade is no big deal when we look at it that way.

The way I see it, electric, solar, nuclear or even water wheel power does not just materialize out of thin air and manage itself.

Takes people to maintain the system, and they need to eat and wear clothes.

I don't work for free, nor do I expect the power company employees to work for free.

A workman is worthy of his hire. So it is written, so let it be done.

OK, so I'm only at 135,in your book. I'm in the intelligent design crowd.

On the armchair lawyer thing, I agree about not asking. Just inform any potential client where you are coming from so that they understand why you have the no cursing policy.
 
It really doesn't make a lot of difference what forum this thread is located. Here or off topic...whatever.

Discuss away...the only guideline is to be civil when discussing. The TB guidelines are more about how things are said than what is said.

There are many ways to define a hostile workplace. Even though taking a prayer break or moment of silence may not seem to be a big deal to you it can be taken a different way.

http://employeeissues.com/hostile_work_environment.htm

As an owner or manager there are some things that become off limits. This is part of the 'loneliness of command' and is nothing new.

What happens on company time is different than what happens on personal time. A prayer/quiet meeting could just as well happen before the clock is punched making it optional rather than after the clock start making it mandatory.

Religion and faith are hot button topics. I'm suggesting that caution be taken when making them part of the workday.

Spirituality is personal and one can pray or mumble to their creator anytime. I don't support ANY organized religion because organization is where the corruption is.

Nobody has knowledge of where they came from and nobody has or ever had a conversation with god... god didn't write a book... men did.

I've known plenty of highly intelligent christians but to the last one, they were deliberately ignorant of all the evidence that brings a christian god into question... and there are mountains of such evidence which lies in direct conflict with christian teachings.

The only way one can be a Christian is to ignore and deny the self evident truths that the bible contradicts itself as well as the laws nature and men have taken religious corruption to a whole new level.

No, I don't rep Jesus, be my guest, it doesn't change what I think about you but no thanks. Organized religion is corruption with an altruistic face.
