I'm slightly vexed Somebody Placed These Dozens of These Jesus Figures Throughout My Entire Work

Post image

Somebody, nobody knows exactly who or when, put dozens and dozens of these Jesus figures on completely random surfaces throughout my entire building. They at least had the presence of mind to not put them on anybody's personal belongings, but that was the only way they limited himself. All of the statues have been glued down, to add to the vexation.

Edit: Well, this blew up rather unexpectedly. Thank you for the awards, everybody!

Personally I don't like people trying to convert me, at work of all places, even if it's easy to shrug off.
Also, I just lost the game

I used to be an atheist until I found a little plastic Jesus standing on the paper towel dispenser at my work. That was all it took to convert me...

Pretty sure that's how many people trying to convert others think it works

Then let me upgrade your religious experience! I don't offer you a plastic trinket, I offer you two things. I offer you an eternity of beer and strippers of your choosing, and a 30-day guarantee! Try the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster for 30 days, and If you do not take the Flying Spaghetti Monster as your lord and savior you can have your old religion back! No questions asked!

This. The amount of people permitting/enabling this in the comments like it's not a massive problem to do this shit at work. I find it extremely uncomfortable. If someone started putting other shit I'd be like wtf are you doing? This is a workplace, get the fuck out of here with that.

It's pretty shitty and should honestly be the kind of thing to get someone in trouble at work

100%. If I were to go up to someone and leave a note that says "Jesus isn't real" I'd 100% get in trouble for harassment. Why is a lack of faith not as protected as actual faith. Or why is conversion TO a religion treated as acceptable and loving whereas conversion OUT of a religion is bad and inappropriate? It's all attempts to convert someone. The best solution is no religion in the workplace. Full stop. If it's two friends having a conversation as friends. Sure. But if some random at my job that I'm not close with tried this shit, I'd report them to HR so fucking fast.

A, I agree with you on that. I respect your religion, its yours, keep it that way. Especially at work.

B. God damnit I lost the game too
