Whenever anyone at work (almost always at people's house) asks me my religion, I always say "I'm a Darkside-ist, I believe in me" (substituting my real first name there of course).

One lady actually said "Well that won't get you anywhere". I wanted to say "well praying doesn't pay my bills either" but naturally I didn't.

I think it takes a tremendous amount of arrogance to ask someone working in your house, a hired tradesman, what his religion is. Who the fuck cares. I'm here to change your blower motor. Leave Jebas or Buddah or whomever the fuck out of it. God isn't going to heal your motor.

It's amazing. Maybe 10-15 times a year I get asked what religion I am by customers. The funny thing is that you cannot answer the question correctly. If you're the "wrong" religion or the "right" one you'll end up in a religious conversation. I'd rather lick a bus bar.

this is what im sayin. the only 'right' answer is knowing what the customer would like you to say. if you see a jesus cross, say 'christian'. if you see a pentagon, say 'buddist'. if you see a cartoon of a donkey, say 'muslim'

Jorr, how could I possibly give you advice? You seem to have more life experience than anyone not named Mr. Reason.

I rarely talk religion. I love politics and talk about it all the time. At an insurance company, even the lawyers are Republicans. Frankly, most people think I am too Liberal because I have a distaste for all forms of government interference. Meaning, I don't give two hoots if people have abortions, use drugs, men marry one another, etc. But Chus and SH are right in that it's safer to avoid it.


of course its safer to never say anything opinionated, ever, in the workplace. just stick with duty-only words. like a zombie.

but if you are able to do that, then i have pity for your position because it means your job must really suck and you either cant find a better job or your stuck because you have a family to take care of.


Actually, I am outspoken...& I love my job...& my employer loves me. Being outspoken is ok providing you are respectful & diplomatic...& judging from the way you act here, I don't see much of either.

Also, I love Madison, Wi. Great city.

Seems odd you need a law to protect your right to not believe in something.
