Texas county defend right to hire ONLY Baptists.

34. I was told "everyone here loves the Lord" in an interview several years back in Texas.

I didn't make a response, and was, frankly, flabbergasted that such a comment had been made. I'm a Christian, myself, but that's a private matter, and I don't consider it anyone else's business whether I am or I am not.

This was for an assistant position to an in-house counsel for a business management company. I got the job and spent four MISERABLE years at that place before finding a different job. I was a single mom and needed the job badly.

During those four years, I was the only employee who didn't attend the company "prayer" meetings, and the only employee who didn't openly speak about religion. I refused to be intimidated by them and simply did my work and didn't engage in their rhetoric.

I was elated when I was actually able to walk out of that place for the last time. Without a doubt and without exception, in all of my 50-plus years, these were the biggest bunch of hypocrites I've ever encountered, and I've encountered some doozies!!! These people would stab someone in the back in business faster than anyone I've ever known, and then gather for prayer so that they could justify how they screwed someone over.

They are not MY kind of Christianity.
