What’s hateful about putting a card with a verse on it in a mailbox?

Cramming your religion down other people’s throats at their place of work where it’s actually illegal to do that is extremely hateful.

Nothing illegal about it. If so, cite a specific law or statute.

Repeat after me: religion does not belong in school. Keep it away from my kids.

So is it just as bueatiful for Islamic people to shove their religious content in your box?

Of course! I would welcome anyone putting things in my mailbox. I’d glance at it and trash it, but wouldn’t go complaining on the internet in a faux outrage. I respect their right to free speech too much for that.

Why do you assume the outrage is faux? It's very real. Keep your religion to yourself.

Why? Why should I keep it to myself?

Only Evangelists are allowed to inject their message into other people's business.

As I learned in a long ago Bible study, don’t be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

I’m praying for you, OP - that you find peace and serenity and that your heart won’t be troubled by those of us who truly care about our fellow man and feel that our world needs kindness and compassion.

I’m a trauma survivor and can tell you that if things like this bother you to this extent, you really need to step back and reevaluate your mental health. This isn’t the hill to die on, OP.

It wouldn’t have bothered me at all. I’m not religious. I’m just logical. It’s a local church performing outreach. Fine. A local hotel did that at my school. They sent us all coupons for a night’s stay. Fine. I would have thrown both away and gone on to live my life rage-free. But I’m agreeable like that.

But if you want to get angry because somebody did something harmless, then go for it. I personally don’t think we need to add more rage into our already angry society, but you do you OP.

It’s against the law but other than that I’m so, so, so glad you’re not bothered by this Pollyanna. Your means means nothing to me. Keep church stuff out of school.

Wow, how obnoxious you are. It takes me about .3 seconds to move it from my mailbox to the trash. No proselytizing was done in the classroom. Nobody forced students (or me) to pray. This is such a nonissue to me.

But I deal with real problems every day, so I guess fake problems don’t register. It’s a good thing we have others who can take the little, insignificant stuff and go nuclear about them. I’m sure they are performing some important service. Somehow.

How obnoxious and privileged you are that you never experienced religious persecution. The school is not just for you to dumb moron. As I’ve stated before, it’s against the law so I don’t give a rats ass what upsets you personally. It’s a 100% proselytizing and it has no place in schools. Your feelings and reactions are irrelevant.

Perhaps you are far wiser than me. All I can find online is many references to the fact churches CAN distribute flyers at schools. Can you point out the specific law?

I stand by my initial thought. I’m going to throw out the flyer. I’m also going to throw out most of the flyers with it. I’m too busy doing my job, so I don’t have room to get angry about the little things.

I may not have a lot of room for religion, but someone I work with may. The same way someone I work with may find use in the soccer lesson flyer, the store coupon, etc.

I’m not about limiting people.
