This B.S. is getting out of hand...: I don't know of any employees of any company that get to stop working and pray nor do I believe they should be. If you're religious beliefs requires that you pray at specific times during the normal work day, then it's YOUR personal obligation to find employment that allows you to be off work at the hours required for prayer.

I mean WTF is this World coming to when we have to schedule our lives around someone else's religious beliefs??? Maybe my employer should pay me from 8-5 while I pray to win the Lottery, because that's MY RELIGION !!!

Ferchristssake people really get away with stupid sh*t now days all in the name of "religious faith"... No wonder we have so many social problems.; Posted by: realitycheck101 Posted on: 03/17/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
