That's the thing about harrasment. It's not really what you say, your intentions, or your motives. It's all about how it's perceived.

So the first time, he got a talking too, probably something on his record. But in the end it was just a talking too because the assumption was his intentions were not hostile and he would learn from his mistake. The second time he demonstrated that it would be a continuing problem so they let him go.

People that air every grievance and opinion over Facebook get what they deserve. People should know by now that Facebook isn't a like a friendly gab with a buddy but a public forum where almost anyone can see the crap you post. I've known a few people who have gotten fired for what they post about their companies on Facebook and then when they get a new job proceed to whine on Facebook about their jobs all over again.

Even the article attempting to side with him made it sound like there were several previous incidents and this was more of a final straw situation. I feel like commie ned flanders would have a point if this were a one time incident but if it's a well documented series of a hostile work environment situations then he fully deserves to be fired for that.

e: That movie is pretty funny btw, on one hand I can kind of see where they're coming from (if they truly believe in god and that the bible is the word of god it does naturally follow that a caring person could believe homosexuality is a sin without having any actual animosity to the group), on the other I don't really understand how you could lay out all the qualities of the modern christian god and go "yeah that's a deity I wanna worship". Why would you chose a religion that damns people to an eternity of suffering for just doing what feels natural in life.

The beginning of knowledge isn't worshipping the Lord, it's fearing Him


i don't worship God because he's a cool chill bro that j wanna have a beer with, but because He has revealed to me his terror and his love, both of which are boundless

loving lol, my crazy fundie anti-vaxx coworker with 6 kids he forces his wife to homeschool basically tried this poo poo. After a team meeting, he offered to take me and 2 other coworkers out to lunch to share his faith with us. I gaped at him for a second before telling him I didn't feel comfortable with that. It was lovely though, and so obviously calculated as to who he was going to ask -- there's dude on my team, who is clearly very science-focused and liberal, never talks about church or anything; other girl on my team who is Christian but a single mom and a lil rough around the edges -- so clearly not the "right kind" of Christian (a submissive holy quiverfull matriarch :jerkbag: ); then there's me, a 29 year old childless(!) woman, just got married after living with my fiancé for 5 years, have at least passively disagreed with this dude every time he tries to preach at me (we were doing an overnight install together once and he cornered me for an hour and told me all about taking his kids to the creationist museum and how it PROVED dinosaurs and humans walked the earth together, the fossils prove it!!! :downs: ). He of course, didn't approach the openly Christian people on the team. God he's seriously the worst. I should have reported it to HR, but then I'd have twice as much work so...

If you claim to love homosexuals yet believe in and devote yourself to a god who kills and tortures them you are like a neo-nazi who believes sub-humans are a danger to themselves and the rest of the world and should be culled, except without the semblance of a moral justification.

The real pathetic part of this is how easily fooled "open minded" morons like Commie NedFlanders are by bigots hiding their evil opinions behind extra steps in their belief system.

God doesn't wish to torture anyone, he simply laid out the Law so that we would not destroy ourselves.

Sin is like fire, suffering is the natural consequence of messing with it, it's not your parents fault for telling you not to play with it.

I sincerely believe the crazy extremist groups everyone hates are the only people who actually follow their religious teachings, and that should say something about it in general. Everyone else is "pick and chose" with the parts they like.

I disagree, often times the radical extreme people (especially the hateful ones) are simply trying to puff themselves up and make themselves seem more pious by bloviating and condemning others. Jesus specifically,called out the Pharisees for doing that

What if Hitler invented the BMW i3 Subcompact Electric car?

quote:

"They said, 'Someone said you didn't make them feel comfortable.' I said, 'I sent out a video to share the Gospel just because it talks about homosexuality.' They said, 'You can't do that. You can't do that,'" explained Routson. "So, I said 'I was just trying to share my faith with her and it doesn't matter that I didn't have a chance to work with her, I can share a link on Facebook on my own time right?' They are like, 'No, no, you can't do that. You can't be sharing with people on Facebook because they work here.'"

you're human

don't go judging and condemning people with your life, look inward, my understanding of Jesus was that you should live a good life and not judge and condemn others. There's a comically vast amount of bad things going on in this world that you could preach against that much more deserves your attention.

Yeah I agree.

I think the point of the movie was that Christians should only seek to spread the Word out of love, not out of condemnation. Christians should not single out homosexuals because everyone is considered a sinner and no one has a place to judge someone else.

However, if Christianity has really had an impact on your life and you believe it has saved you and that it can save others, it only seems right to share it with others out of care for them.

Condemning homosexuals is not cool or chill, loving them like anyone else and treating them well is the best way to share God's love.
