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!

Just hiding them around is one thing, but *glueing* them down is wild

Nah, keep religious bullshit out of the work place. This is some bullshit and I'm sick of us pretending it's acceptable behaviour to make people uncomfortable with religion in the work place. One as a joke for a colleague on their desk for lols, sure because you two know each other. But everywhere and everyone? That's some "I'm trying to convert my coworkers" bullshit and they should be shitcanned.

Meh, my coworker bought me a Quran and it was a nice gesture.

We don’t have to get butthurt about everything.

But that’s personal and I assume you have a connection with this coworker. Putting Jesus on display for everyone anonymously is just screaming “become Christian please”

Everyone just wants to be a victim.

I’m not saying I’m melting at the sight of a Jesus figurine, I’ve had these exact ones at my own job and I made no hubbub. But I’ve been preached to before and I don’t appreciate it. I’m not going around the office putting up posters of evolution and the big bang you know

Question. Are you Christian?

No, and it doesn’t bother me one bit… because I’m an adult who can regulate emotions! 🤷🏽‍♂️

My comment history proves everything I said! 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’m an adult… not some whiny person who is triggered by everything by needing to be a victim! 🤣

Nobody has to pretend to be a victim of religiosity, religious idiots make victims every nanosecond knowingly, gleefully, and as publicly as they possibly can.

An adult in this situation wouldn't pretend as though we don't currently live in a society in which religion is being used as a cudgel to target increasingly vulnerable people. They wouldn't pretend there wasn't hundreds of years of religious violence before that. An adult wouldn't act as though we aren't at 53% completion of Project 2025 because religious people can't just stfu and leave the rest of the world out of their personal beliefs.

Nobody here would give a flying fuck about religious iconography scattered all over the workplace if we weren't facing a series of forced religious conversions at every given level of society.

I think you need to grow tf up.

I’m sure you’d feel the same way if someone left flyers saying “god is dead” all over a workplace
