A worker in Georgia stated he was fired for not wearing a 666 sticker.
The sticker represents 666 accident-free days at the factory.
He feared he would go to hell if he wore it:
And what is a piece of thin rubber? Yet...http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive/ldn/2000/feb/00020803 a Hasidic Jew was fired for refusing to sell condoms, claiming his religious rights were infringed. Is he an idiot also IYO? Then how about the many retail and other employees who refuse to work on the sabbath? The hospital staffers who will not assist with abortions? The native American in south Texas who refused to cut his hair as his law enforcement job required?
The guy should have tripped on his way to the meeting.
This would have been a workplace injury. He could then start the next day wearing the number one.
Targus, so are you for capitalism and less regulation and restrictions on business only when it suits you? Employers should be able to require whatever they want out of employees. Employees are then free to choose to work there or not.
What's the complaint? Insufficient government regulations? <G>
That's what happens when one works a scab job with no labor contract. You all want to have your cake and eat it. In the real world, you pays your money and makes your choice. You want to work a scab job? Either the boss or the government is king. How can it be otherwise?
What if he went to burger king, and his bill was $6.66 ?
This is silly. I don't know if he should have been fired, but if you READ the bible, instead of throwing it around to try and trip up people, you would know the # of the beast is not anything, if it isn't on the right hand, or the forehead.
non sequitur...and silly.
The devil is behind 666
days of no accidents?!?
has nothing to do with accomodation and faith.
Its this kind of thing that gives christianity a bad name and makes is look foolish.
not even close.
There is no violation of religious beliefs in wearing a sticker celebrating 666 days of being accident free.
Was it used as shock marketing?
Possibly, but still acceptable.
insubordination always has an adverse affect on the employer.
This is not an accomodation issue, but an ignorance issue (as we can see by the sabbath comment in this thread).
Would this employee also have an issue with wearing a 777 day accident free sticker?
I'm guessing not, but the legalist in me would be outraged that someone could dare wear the number reserved for
our Lord alone!
You see how silly this can get?
This employee's
next job should be pharissee.
