Sacked due to religious differences
Working as an audio/visual tech guy at a teaching hospital I was one day partnered with one of the other guys and was working on a lectern in a lecture theatre. My screwdriver slipped and I managed to stab myself in the other hand eliciting a

"Jesus Christ!!!"

Turns out the other guy was an evangelical Christian. He toddled off to the boss and complained about me taking the Lord's name in vain and offending his religious sensibilities. The boss hauls me in and tells me to apologise. I ask what for.

"For offending his religious sensibilities"
"Oh, tell him to grow up. I stabbed myself, I could have said many, many things more offensive than Jesus Christ"
"Granted. Still we have to be careful not to offend our co-workers' religious sensibilities"

I take a long slow look at the boss's Black Sabbath T-shirt and pentagram pendant, point to them and say

"What, you mean like you do?"

Sacked.

Moral of the story: so long as you're the boss it's okay to piss off the Christians who work for you.

We have a few evangelical Christians where I work
They get upset if you start discussing evolution or science.

At least they aren't Jewish, eh?
Eh? Eh? Know what I mean? *nudge nudge wink wink*

A colleague once told me he prayed for me.
I knew he was christian so I wasn't sure whether he was serious or not -- he must have seen my slightly quizzical look and said "No, really, I do."(It definitely wasn't dead-pan as his eyes glazed over with zeal and I know the difference between dead-pan and brainwashing). He was a nice guy though so I didn't feel like upsetting him.
The satanist I worked with was a lot more fun -- on one occasion he beat me with a great shot at pool so I said "Jesus Christ!" he asked me what he had to do with anything and I explained "He was a cunt too.". How we laughed...

Well, yeah. Just like God.
God: "AH MY FOLLOWERS. SEE ALL THIS STUFF THAT'S FUN?"
Muppets: "Yes Lord?"
God: "YOU AIN'T ALLOWERD TO DO ANY OF IT!"
Muppets: "Thank You Lord. Amen.....muttercuntmutter
God: "I HEARD THAT"
God to himself: "Life's good when you're King".

Not unless the OP had had prior spoken and written warnings.
In which case he wasn't sacked for 'upsetting a christian' it was being persistently awful at work.

Also: the b3ta user 'Nitrous' has me on 2.0.
Presumably because he fingers kids.

me too ... never even heard of him
although I have heard he fingers kids
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Sat 31 May 2014, 20:08, closed)

I too, have no idea of who he, Nitrous, is, just that he fingers kids.

I believe the fact that the two of you have clearly logged out and then back in again in order to read his posts and comment on them
says more about your needy obsessions than it does about his wish not to interact with you.
(mankwhistle, Sun 1 Jun 2014, 0:37, closed)

I was just mildly curious having noted that the story listed 7 replies but I could see 2.
Given that I can recall no interaction whatsoever with this user I can only conclude that he fingers kids.
( Amorous Badger NAKED BEA ARTHUR PHOTOS 4U, Sun 1 Jun 2014, 1:04, closed)

Well, let's be honest for a moment shall we?
You couldn't stand the fact that someone *might* say something about you with out your knowledge so you had to logout to read Nitrous's posts. Then, because you're a shit-stirrer you had to log back in to make a post. And because you're a troll you had to make a post that *if* Nitrous read it would be sure to elicit a response. Did I miss anything?
At best you're a vain, shit-stirring troll. At worst - you're so obsessed with this site and how you are perceived on it you'll try to redirect your obsession by making a list of links from this site that [you think] make other people look bad. Oh.
Wait...

I think you probably need a nice dip in your saltwater pool to cool off a bit.

Only been here 12 days, no way is that long enough to fill a 40,000 litre pool with tears.
However, mankwhistle has a point.

Is it not fair, that if you know a post has more replies than you can see
That you log out to find out what you're missing? I think if the system is shit enough to flag that up, it's inevitable.
Plus if anyone has me on ignore, it's obviously because they're a prick. After all, I'm fucking wonderful.

You appear to be irked about someone else's disagreement on the internet.
I recommend a nice glass of refreshing whole milk, and a delicious chococcino muffin, both available from Marks and Spencer.

Ignore 2.0 is broken. I even offered to fix it a year or more ago but the fingers were too deep in the dogs

Fix?

Well done you.
Like anyone here would trust you to "fix" something here. You keep wishing for that mod spot.

Yeah, but like everything else in the world, it's religious people's fault.

The rules are somewhat different

They are
A company can ring your agency up and tell them to send someone else and you can be out the door as soon as.

Edit: btw the boss tried to claim his was a Wiccan pendant. Didn't really jibe with his T-shirt, or the look in his eye that said that this was his passive agressive way of dealing with the Christian employee he also didn't like.

i don't know or care if the story is true or false
but just because there are procedures doesn't mean that people follow them. luckily for lawyers.
