If this guy were my employee, I’d fire him too. I wouldn’t want to work with somebody like him.

He went out of his way to portray himself as a bigot, a guy who gets off on doing violence to icons cherished by his coworkers. That’s hardly the way to make a good impression. He shouldn’t be surprised that when he acts like a jackass, people treat him like one.

Remember that piece of alleged art called “Piss Christ”? Which was funded with American tax money? Christians did not respond to this and other desecrations of their symbols by threatening to kill the alleged artists, they just got the Congressmen to put some limits on what “art” can get federally funded.

About those limits, I’m an atheist, and the only problem I see with them is that they still let some of my tax money go to “artists” whose work resembles that of naughty kindergartners…

Personally I think they should have shot up a few bibles as well. That way it wouldn’t be so easy to accuse them of being bigoted.

I think it says more about how unreasonable religious zealots are. I’m sure someone who shot up a Bible would be facing similar hassles, and not just from Christian terror groups like the Ku Klux Klan.

You should tell him that.

That sucks. I wish him well – and for what its worth – he’s wrong about suing his former employer. They can terminate him for any reason, as long as its legitimate. Based upon what he says about referral logs and the religious beliefs of the CIO and Exec VP there, he ought to sue that company ASAP.

I’m just saying, thats all.
