I wonder if I could convince Kenny to pray over my malfunctioning DELL machine ???

Kenneth Weiss offered a Bible to a Muslim co-worker at a Florida medical lab and called a lesbian colleague's attention to Scripture that describes homosexuality as "vile" and "unseemly." The born again Christian also "laid hands" on ill co-workers and prayed over a malfunctioning machine.

bump to the church of Jesus Christ @ FR ..Is this "harassment" or free speech

[billybudd]

Private individuals and corporations should be allowed to discriminate against whomever they wish. If I don't want a freak that's annoying the hell out of the rest of my employees working for me, then I have the right to fire him.

...and prayed over a malfunctioning machine.

This guy sounds like a nutcase not a Christian. He might want try to witness to a mental health care provider if he believes that machines have souls.

Why do people need laws "protecting" them from this and other similar behavior? Doesn't anyone know how to say, "Please leave me alone" or "Sorry; I'm not interested"?

An employee [Kenneth Weiss] fired after giving Bibles to co-workers and praying with them lost his religious harassment case before the Supreme Court, but justices refused Monday to block a trial on the termination.

Oh my G-d, they killed Kenny! You b*st*rds!!!

We are called to but wise as serpents. That means knowing when to keep your mouth shut.

The appeals court said he should have known that a Muslim would not want a copy of the Bible and that it was not prudent to initiate prayer sessions at work with colleagues.

I once had a Muslim employee. For my birthday he gave me an English translation of the Q'uran. Inside was an inscription complimenting me as a boss.

Now, on the one hand I was his boss so there could be no implied pressure for me to accept his beliefs. But on the other hand, I saw the book as a gift. He believed very strongly in his religion and wanted to share it with me. When you get right down to it, that is an honor and I took it as such. I still have the Q'uran.

When I get a cold lots of people suggest I take vitamin-C or suck Zinc losenges. They suggest these things because they care about my physical health. I don't take the vitamins but I really appreciate their show of concern. People who disagree with Christianity also care about my spiritual health. I accept that with the same mindset.

Muslims should learn to be tolerant in the same way. I suspect they already know how to be tolerant. It's just the press, lawyers, and judges who don't.

Shalom.

There is a difference between exercising one's religion and being annoying.
