Is this a good idea? Discuss. Oh, hell, no! I believe religion should be kept totally apart from work, you shouldn't have to explain your personal beliefs when applying for a job. AND getting a new job should have to do with your professional skills, not your religion. This is probably one of the worst ideas I've heard in a while...

I'd dig up some evidence but I'm leaving for work. Basically there are just way too many eyewitness accounts of Jesus for him to have been a complete figment of the world's collective imagination. Exactly. And becuase so many people followed him around many different people recorded what he said and did and archeologists, or whoever does that kind of thing, have found those recordings.

If its like working at a fast food place then thats nota good idea, but if its working at a church or religious type of place, the people in charge have to make a religious standard for their employees.

No, they don't use it as a requirement for a job. They meant bringing religion into the work place, like giving the employees time to pray, or do their rituals, or whatever.
UndyingSoul. Really Not Okay Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 722	July 20th, 2007 at 09:45pm ^^ I think giving people freedom like that in a work place is good.
xcassiegottox Salute You in Your Grave Age: 28 Gender: Female Posts: 2765	July 21st, 2007 at 05:57am this is how i feel about religion. i feel that religion is something that should be kept private. it shouldn't interfere with politics, it shouldn't interfere with jobs, you shouldn't not like a person because of their religion. i am a christian and i have many athiest/catholic/jewish/etc. friends. if you go to church, fine. but don't force your religion on other people. i hate that a lot. and i really hate when people like George Bush say they are Christians and they blow up innocent people everyday. and for what? but this isn't a topic about war so i wont go into that.
Lovesick Melody. Bulletproof Heart Age: 81 Gender: Female Posts: 25760	July 21st, 2007 at 06:29am I think this is the biggest Issue for me about God. He says to follow his rules or we will go to hell, but did he not give us free will? :S

Is this a good idea? Discuss. no, i am sorry... just, no. religion should not be involved with how a person works. hell why should believing in god or morals matter when you are trying to get your job done? that is just a little bit too extreme for me, because before you know it people will not be hired based on how well they get their job done -- they will be hired based on what they believe in and if they go to church every sunday or to a temple everyday. it is bad enough that religion interfers way too much with politics, why do we need it at our jobs? too extreme for my liking. i want to be hired based on the good job i do... not whether i believe in god or not.

He says to follow his rules or we will go to hell, but did he not give us free will? :S He gave us free will to follow his rules or not. If you choose not to then ok, but he warns that if you do not accept him and so not try your best to follow his example( Jesus' example) and rules then you are destined for Hell.

But he wants us to be happy right? So why give us that free will and then say "BUT if you dont follow the rules you go to hell" Its kind of giving us a weapon if you get what I mean....
UndyingSoul. Really Not Okay Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 722	July 22nd, 2007 at 12:55am ^^ God's rules are to make you happy, none of them are bad. God wants us to choose him over other things in this world, if he just made us to automatically choose him and if he didnt give us free will then being a follower of him wouldnt be meaningful at all. He wants us to be happy his way, by following his rules the best we can.

Then why does he not accept gay people? Or bisexual people? It just kinda condradictory.... (The Chrisitan God)
Fezzik Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 2748	July 22nd, 2007 at 01:24am ^Well, He does. I mean, depending on which God you believe in.

(The Chrisitan God) Its not that he doesnt accept them, its that he does not approve of the homosexual lifestyle(This is my denomination's God, others see him differently, so all I am saying is from my religious standpoint). God still loves them, and is willing to forgive them. Just like God loves murderers and will forgive them if they ask, but he still does not like murder. (I am not saying that homosexuality is like murder, its just an example)

UndyingSoul. Really Not Okay Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 722	July 23rd, 2007 at 04:01am ^^ If they realize that what they did was wrong and ask God to forgive them for all of their sins, and accept Jesus as their savior, then yes they go to Heaven. I dont understand the second question, it may just be the way that you worded it. Do you mean why should they ask for forgivness if they havent done anything wrong?

(I am not saying that homosexuality is like murder, its just an example) I'm so glad God is willing to forgive me for loving somebody. I was so worried about how sinful it was for me to love my fiance. How could I do something so evil and sinful. [/sarcasm] I need to find a new God. Seriously. I'm sick of the conservative Christian God I believe in. I need to find one that doesn't make me feel like a demon whenever I open the Bible.
UndyingSoul. Really Not Okay Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 722	July 23rd, 2007 at 04:19am ^^ If your not a conservitive christian then why would you choose to believe in the conservitive christian God. (unless you were being sarcastic in the last paragraph too)
Lovesick Melody. Bulletproof Heart Age: 81 Gender: Female Posts: 25760	July 23rd, 2007 at 09:22am Sorry, my wording was a bit messed on that one! Okay heres another question, if God really loves us why is there going to be an apocalypse? :S And like the above poster said, why should people live in fear of sinning?
