So, when employers of those that aren't necessarily "famous" and don't make big bucks, start dictating that we can't express our christian beliefs in the work place, then what? Do you think the employee should be fined? Suspended? Fired?
My current employer has already forbidden wishing people Merry Christmas. We are supposed to say "Happy Holidays" so that we don't OFFEND anyone. Yet some aspects of these "holidays", as a bundle, are offensive to me as a christian.
Since when does an employer, who is not supposed to discriminate one way or another, have the right to promote one over the other?
Are we as christians supposed to crawl under a rock due to our employers "bottom line" concerns? Since when does "bottom line" take precedence over constitutional rights?
First its Christmas, what will be next? A female co-worker pats me on the behind and I'm supposed to "tolerate" that as a sign of affection? Will that be next? (I sure hope not cause I will get fired if that were to happen)
And I am talking about IN the work place. I could say much more for things done OUTSIDE the work place.
