(14,040 posts)Let's reverse the situation. Say he's the one working at the store and after the woman is done checking out he says with all sincerity, "May Satan be with you," how would you feel about that? I'd bet someone would raise hell about it, attempt to get him fired, etc.
There's a reason, once upon a time ago, it was considered impolite maybe even impolitic to discuss religion, sex and politics in "polite" company. You never know what kind of hornets nest you'd stir up by doing so.
Some of us are tired of the constant implication that you can't have a good, wholesome life without that Jesus guy. If anything, the prevalence of Jesus everywhere has actually made things worse for our society, not better.
Believe what you want to believe, I'm all for that, but please, please, please allow me the peace to go to the store and not have some person force me to either politely put up with their beliefs, or allow me the freedom to say what I want back without being judged for it because they are afforded the same freedom.
