--- Quote from: QuietTruth on August 29, 2009, 03:47:10 PM ---I'm assuming your co-worker is Agnostic? So if that assumption is correct, I don't understand why a Christian would get into a relationship like that. In the first place.
If they was separate religions under Christianity faith, or even somethang other than Christian but still had faith in God..that's one issue.
But how could you make a relationship like this work? It's like good verse evil. Positive verse negative. Complete polar opposite. There's a big uncommon factor between them. Argue opposites attract, but damn, I'm sorry, how does that happen in a case like this?
^ That's all dealing with the relationship aspect of it. I mean what if they was to get married. Marriage just goes with the whole package of religion itself. I don't know. That's between them, how they make it work.
As far as the issue on her being fired...
I say fair becuz its the Church's beliefs. That's the whole point of following a denomination. I understand the situation and it is kinda messed up, but, it is what it is. It's the Church's beliefs. And you wanna practice it..

Now aren't you being a little judgmental with the woman's personal life, homie? And then you go as far as to compare their relationship as good vs. evil? LOL that's messed up.

Prolly. But look at arguments we is havin' right now. I ain't tryin' to put down their relationship, I'm just sayin' I don't understand it. Personally if I'm a Christian I couldn't go out wit someone Atheist. Look at these petty arguments over religion. If she says somethang religion based...'well I do this becuz I follow these faith based rules....' and than her manz says 'oh well that's unintelligent or ridiculous cuz there's no God or Jesus...' likeeeee people argue on here. I can't understand how that would work out. Esp. a female dealing wit that. That's what I'm sayin'.
And when I said good verse evil, positive verse negative, black verse white, I mean complete opposite...hot verse cold all = Atheism verse Christianity.
Nutty:
I can understand where the church is coming from, but it's a little harsh to fire her. Not so christiany......lol

I can understand that. But.

But its a church so it's okay to illegally fire someone? What the fuck is wrong with y'all?

If it's coming from a devout follower, suing a Church is wrong. Yes, we know people run it, but it's just the guilt of 'suing a Church'. Maybe she comes from a tight religious upbringing and her fam would be upset about it. Or maybe she herself just has the guilty conscience. She's taking away money from the same place 20% of her check was going to, her faith. Don't necessarily gotta be the Church she feels guilty taking from but maybe she feels its her faith. Call it the instilled 'fear' they put in them like Daygo believes, and hey, it works than, I don't know. Which on THAT part..
I could agree with the runnings of organized religion, like ya'll say, I get that. But still..ya'll gotta understand the other side too..

To all my Christian homies that posted in here, I pose these questions to you:
1) Would Jesus ask those kinds of questions to such a devout follower?
-- no he wouldnt for the fact he is jesus he would fix whatever was wrong with the "believers"
2) Does Jesus not love everyone, including those who do not follow him?
----- Jesus loves all, jesus love me this i know, for the bible tells me so, little ones that are weak and so, they are weak but he is strong
yes Jesus loves me.... yes Jesus loves me,,, yes Jesus loves me for this the bible tells me so
3) Would Jesus continue to take the money of someone who he thought wasn't a follower of his?
------------YES he is a jew!

she cant sue
i know alot of employers make you sign something like that before you work there

false. Ive been involved in a settlement where we signed a sheet just like that lol. Employers have you sign those forms as a scare tactic because the average worker will not challenge it and think that they have signed over their legal rights. Our lawyer laughed at it. It holds very little weight in a settlement hearing. All you have to do is say you felt pressured to sign the sheet in order to keep your job...and thats it. Almost no employer will fight it because you can say the same thing in court and they cant prove you wrong. A small business owner might fight it because they simply dont have the money to settle out of a court. Larger companies will almost always just give in to avoid actually going to court.
