The answer is yes "Can a worker be fired from his job because he believes in ghosts?"

But fire anyone for believing in Jeebus, and the shit will really hit the fan. Why can't you lot sort yourselves out, before the civilised world invades and puts you all to death?

  • I think you're making a bit of a false analogy there. Belief isn't the question, it's the claim of the actual sighting in the presence of witnesses who did not see the same thing. Any security guard who claims to actually see Jesus while on the job, and when he summons a coworker and supervisor claims to STILL see Jesus while the others do not, is simply not fit to be a security guard. This was not misconduct, just someone who is not capable of performing their duties with confidence. The Judge made the right decision, here, and so did the supervisor. It was the company who was stupid enough to call what he did "misconduct." So that all being said, I fail to see how your point is valid.
  • We will never forget the lessons learned on Sept. 11h.
  • ...or November 11th.
  • To be more precise, I do see that your point is valid, but fail to see how this article comes anywhere near supporting your point.
  • chimera got it right, but I see your point, Skrik. (But, hey, if you wear a hat, nobody'll notice)
  • zing!
  • swish!
  • biff!
  • Uff-da!
  • Zoinks!
  • Yah, nobody'll see you 'cause your hat will be too big! Bwa! HAHAHAHAHA!! Wait, I don't get it... Oh, nevermind, Casper just explained it to me. Hee hee. I want to believe.
  • What about my belief that one day, Hello Kitty will come to my office and save me from this horrible work existence, and my related bouts of looking up at the door, screaming "She's here, she's here, she's finally here!", grabbing my coat, then finally shuffling quietly back to my desk, mumbling?
  • Har! !You wrongly assume I had a point. I was just yank-bashing. It's a great past-time, you should all try it once in a while. But don't make fun of the LORD (Jeebus, that is, not KitfistoQuid.)
  • Lara, if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times. Hello Kitty is a foul temptress. Beware her siren's call. The little hussy...
  • Fair enough. Carry on, then.
  • But she's...just...so...SQEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!111
  • We know. We know. Just pull back, Lara. Break yourself away from her dotty, vaccuous stare. She is an empty vessel, a blank canvas, waiting for you to assign your values to her. She is a void. There is nothing there but what you bring yourself. Your squee is you. Reclaim your squee. Pull back, pull back...
  • But see a dead former virgin on a slice of toast and we'll give you MONEY!
  • Oops... LINK
  • Oh golly...I feel a heck of a haunting coming up for the coworker and supervisor. Co-worker: "What was that?" Supervisor: "What was what?" Ghosts: "Alllll we waaaaanted was a pepppppsi."
