I don't really see the problem? I'd assume this includes any belief system, including atheism?

The headline is a bit sensationalist. The article is just "colleagues should be allowed to debate religion"

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."

Oh no, anyone trying to promote non-christian ideologies will 100% get instacanned under this order I'm sure

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

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You're gonna confuse the evangelicals by naming the two entities which voltroned into their own object of worship

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

Imagine thinking they give a shit about hypocrisy in 2025

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

Sure, but still no reason not to put it on display in clear and hamfisted terms if you ask me

"Fascists enable Christian Nationalist Karens to abuse coworkers on the government's funds."

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

THANK YOU TRUMP for allowing me to FINALLY share the Teachings of ALLAH with other Government Workers!

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago

RIP your public service career lol

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I know it's intentional here, but I cringe whenever someone says 'Allah' in an English sentence because it's just the Arabic word for God.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

But it's funny

[–] RedGreenBlue@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But doesn't muslims also consider arabic to be the holy language and therefore the correct way and only way to refer to allah?

Yes. I think everybody knows Allah is the word for God.

Every job I've ever had, my coworkers and I have pretty openly discussed the 'taboo' shit like religion and politics. We can generally keep the flames under control, and if shit does start to heat up we'll change the topic knowing that the conversation isn't going anywhere at that point... but ultimately it's been a consistent point of growth for pretty much everyone involved.

Coming from the Trump regime, I can only assume it means "convert your non-christian coworkers to christianity, and other application of this policy will get you fired" so, 100% fuck this shit. Coming from less of an absolute shitstain traitor, I'd actually be in favor of this kind of rhetoric. Maintain policies requiring professional behavior and prohibiting harassment so that those who don't want to discuss it are empowered to shut the conversation up; but in a consensual setting, sure I'll hear you pitch coming to Jesus or w/e - so long as you're equally receptive to my counterargument.

That's not how it's gonna work, so again, fuck everything about this, but fuck if it doesn't hint at a nice sounding ideal.

My I introduce the reverse loophole.

Blaspheme against the holy spirit, that piece of shit.

Doing so is the only unforgivable sin. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. Straight to hell with you and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Not even their god. By blaspheming against the holy spirit, that fake garbage, you are putting up the shield against christians. They can't save you, you have no reason to convert, it is a waste of their time...please leave me alone.

Now, if anyone can give me reverse loopholes for other religions, that would be great.

Fuck your gods, all hail Satan!

That might work for most

[–] III@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Technically that doesn't even work with christianity. You have to very specifically blaspheme against the holy spirit, who is most definitely a child rapist on the Epstein list. You can call their god whatever name you want, deny Jesus, worship any form of metallic idol you want - you still can get through the door to heaven. It takes a special kind of statement - like saying the holy spirit isn't even real and only exists because whatever man made it all up was accused of copying off of some other religion and just made up even more bullshit so their "nuh uh" had more weight.

Let's start spreading the unspeakable ancient knowledge of the first one. The one that has no name but an idea of an existence. Now hum the deep tone of the empty.

Edit: Fuck CBS

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Hail Satan!

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 19 points 1 week ago

I look forward to promoting my all powerful Lucifer.

[–] FUCKING_CUNO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

Time for TST to start distributing literature through the ranks of the federal government

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

And fully expect this to only become worse as time goes on. The Christo-taleban has full steam now and won't stop

[–] etherphon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I'm sure a lot of people are re-thinking their religious beliefs after the fucking devil was elected.
