Now we have to be on the lookout for "anti-Christian" bias

We are at slippery slope time. If someone is pro-choice, does that make them anti-Christian? If someone calls out the crimes in the Administration, does that make them anti-Christian? If anyone is Jewish, Hindu, Muslim or any other religion, does that make them anti-Christian?

I mean, we were asked report or call out other biases. Why is this different?

Although I think your examples are a little hyperbolic.

I was told the same thing about Roe and Trump and the economy.

You aren't a Christian because you've rejected some of the core teachings attested to in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Maybe you're enamored with some of the hateful fire-and-brimstone stuff of the Old Testament, but that certainly doesn't make you a Christian, and rejecting Christ's teachings pretty much negates your Christianity outright.

I used to think this. But then I understood that we are all works in progress. So one can go to church, confirm their faith, and still not embrace all tenets of Christianity.

This response will undoubtedly provoke a torrent of meanspirited remarks from people who disagree with my premise but lack the self awareness to understand that they substantiate it.

The entitlement on display is astounding. What about the important holidays of other religions that lack the lay resonance of Christmas?

And, sorry, homophobia is not a protected religious practice.

Just proving the PP's point.

OFFS. Are you standing up for co-workers who want to take off holidays that aren't Christian? No, no you are not. And you do not for one minute see that as "anti-Hindu" -- you see it as anti-everyone-wanting-time-off-for-their-own-beliefs-when-it-isn't-convenient-for-me.

Also, no one needs to take off Good Friday, FFS.

Obviously you are trolling the PP. Let it go.

Christian: says something hateful about the "LGBTQIA" community.

Co-Worker points out that it's not nice.

Co-worker reported for anti-Christian bias.

Christian asks if you went to Church this weekend.

Co-worker says they aren't religious and don't attend church.

Co-worker reported for anti-Christian bias.

Uh, did you see the title of the thread? What constitutes "anti-christian" bias?

Next stop federal abortion then Christianity becomes the official religion of the US and non-believers get rounded up.

I highly doubt any christian is unable to take Christmas, Easter or Good Friday off from work. Most school systems close for these things.

+1 Maryland state law requires closure on Christmas, Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

This. I suggest reporting any new government policies that hurt people in an unchristian manner to the anonymous hotline

Oh, the irony of this post. You do realize that Christianity has held a privileged position in the US for decades, and with a changing population, it's stating to lose that privilege. It's ironic that you are blasting people for a lack of self-awareness, when you can't see how movement towards equality is not anti-Christian or oppression. Perhaps it's you that needs better self-awareness on what is actually occurring.

+1 Not getting PTO on Good Friday is exactly the same as not getting PTO on Yom Kippur. It is not evidence of anti-Christian bias, but evidence of absence of bias. But that PP should be forewarned that the new Christian Nationalism is an evangelical zionist movement. They are currently using Catholics, but they will start turning on the papists when they're trying to decide which bible to use in the public schools (King James, no doubt) and force the kids to have rapture drills and learn about unicorns while cancelling Copernicus. They're not giving you PTO for Good Friday, either.
