It wasn't his beliefs that he was fired for. Otherwise, every other Christian in the place of business would have been fired. They weren't, right? So therefore it wasn't his beliefs, but his behavior that was the problem.

That's all well and good, but obviously he didn't have a case, did he?

Being an azzhat doesn't count in "discrimination" cases.

At a certain point in some discussions one must realize you can't talk sense to the senseless.

While you're at it...tell him you're unhappy with your fellow employees cussing. Tell him you're a Christian and you think you shouldn't be subjected to hearing G-D-. Report back.

He was fired because someone complained. Someone complained because they found his Christian beliefs offensive. Follow the path and his faith most definitely was a factor here.

Someone found this man's Christianity offensive, but wasn't offended by the Christian beliefs of the other employees??? Why weren't other people fired? Maybe because they respected their fellow employees, while this guy didn't?

He got fired for being an annoying azzhat who would not listen to, "cool your jets".

Sounds like God has provided him with an even better job with good Christian people. God takes care of those who put their faith in Him!
Good for him. Segregation is sometimes a good thing. We need to stick with people who think similarly (not necessarily the same) as we do so that we can thrive and obtain happiness.

Geez Im gone for over a week and come back to find Jeff is still repeating the same old rebutted BS , and making the same nonsensical replies as if no one has responded with relevant facts to his posts.

If ever a thread exposed a poster paying no attention to what is said in response to his posts, and making no effort to process and understand the information given to him for consideration, this one has done that for Jeff. In all my years of participating in these type forums I have only met about 2 people (not so oddly, both fundamentalist Christians as well ) as capable of ignoring all facts presented that show his claims to be baseless and wrong.

This is what occurs when someone is more interested in SAYING something than in LEARNING something.
