I've known way too many people who believed God talked to them and somehow each's version of God sounded a lot like themselves.

He was fired with cause, I don't think he can collect unemployment.

I agree with this, but people of his ilk don't. So I'm not too bothered by it.

You're right, they should be eating the invisible cock of the FREE MARKET

Maybe if their dad used rational self-interest as his god instead of Jesus, he'd still have a job

or maybe he could be as religious as he wants to be, but choose to ascribe to a projection of god that doesn't reaffirm his deep-seated hatred for homosexuals

or, he can be as bigoted as he wants to be, and not say poo poo to his coworkers about it

The free market has spoken and employers should be able to fire Christians at any time and for any reason

I support social safety nets even for people who are fired because they can't function as an adult in the work environment, ironically this guy probably doesn't support such things and is now in a situation where he has little access to aid because people like him think poors deserve to suffer and never anticipate being poor themselves.

No, I agree with you, the guy made his bed and now has to sleep in it, but this story will be dead in a week. It's like Steinbeck's 'temporarily embarassed millionaires' quote. People like the Ohioian want to destroy social safety nets but now he's hat in hand on gofundme or kickstarter to get the Christian Persecution Free Money Machine running.

"Her lawn seemed so dimly lit, and I wanted to brighten it up for her with some free lighting. I started with a single straight line to share my love of straightness, but then decided that wasn't enough light. So I added a smaller perpendicular line just over halfway up to really spread it out, and plus it looks like the Jesus cross, which I also love sharing with people! Is it my fault fire is a really convenient way to produce light?"
