How do you ask a colleague to stop saying things like "praise the lord"," God is amazing", "God will make me manager if it's in his plan"? It makes everyone very uncomfortable.

It's inappropriate in the workplace. I'm Christian too, but I'm respectful enough of others' beliefs not to loudly tout my own. There's no real way to stop people like that unfortunately, so just ignore them.

like

Me "Thank god!"
Religious person "yes thank him in all his glory"
Me "yeah last night I probably created some LBJs ya know, little baby Jesuses, and just got a text she's on the pill"
Religious person "....."

@D1 Yes, both religions are monotheistic; meaning that both religions believe that they are the only true religion with the only real god. This is why we have radical Islamic sects blowing themselves up, trying to take out as many "infidels" or non-believers with them as they can; granted these ppl supposedly have an aggressive interpretation of the Karan; I think there are a few parts that translate roughly into convert or kill, but I'm no expert. If you aren't convinced by that argument, take a look at the Shiite and Sunni conflicts where they kill each-other, bc of minor differences despite being of the same general religion

like

@D4 You are missing the point. Please refer to the original post. Can you tell me if the person who the OP referenced is Muslim, Jew or Christian? NO you can't! cause all believe in a god. Therefore, EY1's comment assuming that the person wasn't Muslim is just ignorant.

@D1 Can't say for sure, but if the colleague in question was Muslim, they would probably refer to him/ her/ it as Allah. Am I correct in that assumption ? I believe that is why @EY1 assumed that. Fair point though, I can finally see where you are coming from.

like

@D4. Allah is the Arabic word/term for God (used interchangeably). Some Muslims use the word God, others use Allah. Arab Christians worship Allah for instance :)
@EY1. I misspoke when I said racist (I should've stopped at ignorant). You probably didn't even think of it!

I dont know if it’s just my current project or what but I am feeling like I can’t take this anymore. What is keeping me here is the money. I dont know if there is anywhere that will pay the same.
