Lee,

I am not sure what you mean by “taking me on in public,” but the point of sharing with my coworkers about Jesus Christ is not to win an argument or debate. It is simply to share with them what God has done for us in sending His Son Jesus Christ to die for sinners like you and me. If you would ask those whom I have lived, worked, and share my life with, I am confident that they would tell you that I am not forcing Christianity down their throats.

In any case, I find it ironic that you would come and stick it to me. How dare you use my blog to promote your atheistic fantasies?

If I had worked at UPS, I, too, would have reported you for proselytizing. How dare you use your job to promote your religious fantasies? Unlike others, though, I would have take you on in public, in addition to reporting you to your superiors. It is nutjobs like yourself who are giving religion a bad name; it is no accident that the number of people in this country who self-identify as non-religious have doubled in the last ten years. We of no religion are sick and tired of your bible-bangers trying to force your perversions down our throats, and we are not going to take it any more.

[...] "Not liking my response, my manager again reprimanded me, “Timmy, you cannot do that. You cannot talk about your religion and tell people how to believe. You are pushing your religion on other people.” “Every day I work here at ___, people are pushing their religion upon me. They are atheists and live like there is no God, there is no day of accounting, there is no purpose in life except living for oneself. And everyday, that religion is preached from one co-worker after another, calling me to unbelief, and I am offended by that. Everyday I hear godless talk, my Savior’s name slurred, and hear of things that used to make people blush, and I am offended by that. Without fail, my coworkers are being entirely intolerant." "Why am I the only person who is being labeled judgmental when I am doing the most merciful thing in telling people about the love of Jesus Christ? … If we were to apply the same standard to others as you are applying to me, we would have to shut down all conversation among all co-workers from this moment on …" continue reading here at Provocations and Pantings [...]
