I never thought I'd live to see the day when I felt like such an outsider and so threatened for my beliefs.
I work with people who have done, just the past few months, many awful things to Christian co-workers, including me. Unfortunately, the main boss says that "all religions are used just to control people". and he says it's just stupid to believe in God or any religions. He says Jesus is just a myth. I know, I know --- but he has a ton of letters after his name and thinks he knows everything. He makes anyone look very foolish if they try to disgree with him. :unsure:
A group of these people put some obscene pictures in my desk drawer recently and they were all snickering about it in the office. I even went to Human Resources about it, but they said, "Well, it's unfortunate, but without proof, there's not much we can do." And it turns out the Human resources folks are friends with the athiests.
It doesn't stop there. These people - though careful not to openly call the Christians out - say awful, horrible things about believers continually. I haven't gotten into an argument with them yet and I don't want to. I have to have the money right now to pay my bills, and I'm constantly looking for a better job. A friend of mine told me the standards at her job have dropped, too. Mega persecution of Christian values and professed Christians. Even if Christians don't preach or talk about their relationship with Jesus or anything else, once these people find out they are Christians, the insults, hateful jokes and everything else begins. This man has even threatened to fire people who try to "convert" co workers. So obviously he has gotten a lot of complaints from other athiests there.
I have prayed about my friend's and my situations and prayed about the 3-4 people doing the persecuting as the Bible tells us to do, but still- I feel so discouraged. Sometimes the hostility in there is so thick you could get it with a knife, seriously.
Has anyone else experienced this lately? It really caught me off guard. I would never have dreamed that this could happen to the extent it has. The athiests exert such a powerful influence over everyone else, and even the good people there (I don't know what they believe, but they're nice) seem afraid to speak up, but like many of us, needs their jobs.
If anyone else has gone through this, please tell me how you coped with it. (I have to stay there awhile, can't just quit my job.) Thanks in advance so much.
Anyway, thanks for letting me get this out. Hope all of you are fine. I'll try to be back later and read around on the board and catch up with everybody. Sorry I haven't been around much, been busy and then some.
