    This is the time to start invoking all of the gods for a more dynamic and adaptive office environment.

    “Listen, Ryan, I’m gonna need you to ask yourself what Enki would do in this situation, ok? You’re giving Enlil when I need an Enki. Dammit, get your head in the game. Have you not been keeping up on this stuff? Seriously, if you’ve been experimenting with that Jesus stuff again I’m gonna come unglued, I swear. Get off the fuckin cross already, jeez.”

      Really throw them off by talking about Yahweh and Elohim and how are these Gods relevant today?

        Or discuss the singular El versus the plural Elohim and the related implications for that over the pantheon alluded to in the books of Moses.

        But… I was trying to spread the love across the old religions and just leading off with a fun pairing. This Yahweh guy gets a lot of attention. Ra is displeased and unpleasant droughts will undoubtedly be visited upon us all now. Fuck.

    Time to start turning my coworkers into atheists.

    All jokes aside, this ends when we ban orginized religion.

    Nobody should be publicly religious. Do it in your own home.

      As an atheist, faith should be warmly invited, and traditions should be celebrated. You don’t have to have anything to do with it. You can assert yourself without assuming you know what people think and classifying their worship. And, on another note: these are human tales. You think books that took generations to compile don’t have a few nuggets of hard earned wisdom? Do you read Frankenstein and dismiss it because it’s ludicrous?

      Banning religion has been tried, It doesn’t work. Banning the awful things that religion makes people do is a better option.

                China doesn’t ban organised religion. It even has a state church. China is paranoid in general, and an effect of that is they just like to keep religious followers where they can see them. In a way, literally, churches there are kind of like a compound (not a security compound) where they hold meetings and worship and house missionaries and stuff.

                It doesn’t ban evangelisation or missionaries per say, but mainly foreigners. Part of this is a concern with foreign interference (which to be fair, the USAID was recently exposed for sending money to Christian organisations abroad so the American megachurches can gain influence there.)

                It’s not ideal for Christians, but it’s nowhere near what @SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world was suggesting as “banning organised religion”.

                If anything, China can be seen as preferring organised religion to unorganised religion

        Authoritarianism comes in many forms. Didn’t any of you read 1984? I mean, don’t waste your time - there’s way better materials to learn from, but Thought Police, anyone? Also, no idea why you’re getting downvoted. You atheists are dogmatic as fuck. I’m an atheist. Hey, let’s ban Islam. That’s how you sound.

        I don’t think we should hire any Catholics because they believe eat humans and drinking their blood is legitimately okay. The people who believe God decides anything in day to day life should all be fired for not being able to accept scientific theory, which is the same scientific theory that drives the economy in which this company runs. I mean come on they are clearly braindead drones who believe anything they are told and have proven they can’t innovate anything new that could help us. Also all Muslims are terrorists, they’ve been proving it on the news every night for decades, we shouldn’t hire them either.

        In most companies they would just get rid of you for talking about the news / politics. If you fire someone for preaching their religion the company can be sued for illegally terminating an employee do to their religious beliefs. It’s not a good idea.

          Either you’re a troll or a religious zealot.

            I find you calling me a religious zealot to be hindering my right to tell you why you’re going to hell for the next 8 hours as is my given right now. In fact I think HR may find it pertinent to know you were calling people religious zealots for practicing their legal rights at work.

            …it isn’t trolling, it was the discussion as to why this is a bad idea.

                No I called Catholics cannibals, which they believe they are. The Eucharist being the actual transformation into the body and blood of Christ is one of the main differences between Catholics and some protestant denominations that split off. Methodists for instance, do not. Lutheran’s believe it is a physical transformation and not just a spiritual ceramony one either.

                Thereby, they intentionally eat a person’s flesh and blood every Sunday, or rather they try to.

                Also I never called Muslims Zealots, I called them terrorists, because that’s what I learned from the news. Which was obvious satire… Zealots are obsessive, not necessarily terrorists. A good example of zealots would be the Jesuits.

                (Though one could argue Jesuits were church sanctioned terrorists… But that’s besides the point)

    This shit only flies as long as it isn’t a Muslim doing it.

    Reminds me of Valarie Hodges in Lousiana like a dozen years ago. Where she stopped supporting religious vouchers for school cause an Islamic school wanted to use them and she didn’t realize that could happen.

      That’s pretty much the entire operating model of the Satanic Temple. Either you’re getting a Baphomet statue to go with it, or you’re losing that Jesus one.

    I don’t think people really understand what’s comming. Everyone’s like “so now everyone can talk about their respective religion, haha”. But where I see this going is only the one right religion being acceptable in near future and everyone who’s making clever remarks being outlawed and prosecuted. The fact we’re not there yet makes the obvious progression to that none the less scary.

      I don’t think you realize that christians aren’t as popular as they were before. There are a LOT of others and non religious. I don’t think christians are going to enjoy the process as much as they think.

          You misunderstand, when they inevitably try that, and try to continue the “Christian nation” shit, there will be a backlash, and the violence will likely get out of control. I would not be at all surprised to see a concentrated effort to murder Christians by mobs. Christians have gone so long without facing ANY BACKLASH whatsoever for their continued depravity. It will happen and they will cry about how much of victims they are.
