Cassidy Elise (@cassidyeliseco) posted a viral TikTok where she talks about her experience in working for a "mission" based religious institution, enthusiastically stating how much she loved her job, even if she wasn't in love with the pay.
So, after two years of working with the school, she brought up in her year-end review that she would like to receive more money, but ultimately decided to sign her contract and continue teaching there.
This was the plan until the school's principal received a message from God telling him that her passion wasn't for teaching.

Isnt it weird? Isnt it weird how the same people how accuse trans and other LGBTQ people of having mental illness are the same who say their God told them to fire an employee, their God told them to pursue impeachment charges against President Biden, that their God just happens to coincide with their own desires?

(12,786 posts)There are hundreds of sects of Christianity because religious people really don't know what their Christian God wants or thinks. Other religions also have many different sects because they really don't know what their God thinks.
But these religious fools who spend 5 seconds praying on it, suddenly know the true mind of their God. They suddenly get a message from their invisible God telling them to do what they wanted to do anyway.

In other words, God is exactly who we want Him to be. And naturally, God is a little iffy on the concept of someone teaching in a $15,000/year religious school wanting enough money to be able to eat and live indoors.

"He said 'I command you to get out form Es-4764 Termination of Employee and fill it out terminating Mrs Simpson'.
"Oh Lord I do not want to do this Ms Simpson is young and nice to look at, she has perky tits'".
"You must do this because even though she is an excellent teacher and the parents love her and the children adore her she rates only 79.65 on passion on the Davidic passion scale and we cannot go below 80".
"I will do so oh Lord, anything else?"

(3,108 posts)Started trying to get me to believe that, once up on a time, there was this talking snake, and this talking snake convinced a woman to eat a piece of fruit and the outcome of that was that all humanity was doomed.
Great shit to tell a six year old.
Luckily, I was blessed to have no faith especially concerning talking snakes; although We do have a cat 🐈 that, I swear, says,"hello!"
