[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like this would take us down the road of people wearing stars, crosses and moons.

That is, of identifying by their religion.

There have been Supreme Court cases about whether any of these should be allowed in the workplace because it might make others uncomfortable. Would you really want to work in an office where 2/3 were wearing crosses? [/quote]

And rulings have consistently been that religious people are free to wear them.  There is no uncertainty here.

Yeah, "there have been Supreme Court case".  There have also been rulings, you idiot.  You are advocating the same line of thinking that prohibits women from covering their heads (whether Muslim or Christian--this is also a historical Christian practice) or taking on other self-identifying marks of faith.  Just because YOU don't think these symbols are important doesn't mean you can enforce that on everyone else.[/quote]

Whoosh. Look who’s calling who an idiot.

The question is, do you really want all your Christian and Palestinian coworkers saying, hey, cool, it’s ok again to broadcast our religions (after not being completely ok for a while), so I’ll go ahead pull my confirmation cross/moon back out?

Some people feel uncomfortable surrounded by crosses at work or being treated by someone with a cross.

So yeah, those people have brought cases all the way to the Supreme Court. As you rudely said as you missed the point, yeah, SCOTUS has ruled. But the point was the discomfort that made people bring the cases. I take it you’d be fine it though. [/quote]

Most non-Christians hardly need people to wear crucifixes to know that we're minority religions, actually.[/quote]

Not the point. Do you want Christianity in your face every day? Yeah, didn't think so. There are some [b]pretty bigoted Jews[/b] on DCUM and I can imagine their heads exploding.[/quote]

Can we get a clarification on what you meant?[/quote]

The one(s) who tell us they're Jewish and proceed to blast Catholics for being Catholic. I'm not Catholic, and yeah I know there was this thing called the Inquisition. But blasting modern day Catholics simply for being Catholic is... bigoted. I usually report those posts. [/quote]

Okay? I’m really unsure what your point is here. Some Jews are bigoted and therefore no Jews should wear anything that visibly identifies them as Jewish?  is that the train of logic[/quote]
