None of them are real Christians.

Hope the Muslims spread their beliefs .

🤬

sí, señor, claro que sí

Well then they should be prepared for the response they are going to get if they try and push that bull. Freedom of speech is a real bitch when she wants to be.

I would stuff any coworker’s sandwich right in their mouth if they tried to proselytize at me 😡

So, it's okay now to put my statue of Baphomet on my desk?

Go for it! Perhaps a little black candle just in front of it? 👌🏻

We don't need a ballroom. He's been watching too many historical romances on tv.

yes for us

man's religion developed by emperor constantine and the vatican. all evil. a why of control and power.

#FuckTrump #FuckTheGOP

I ... can see how this could backfire though. Satanists and atheists, build up your debate ammunition.

You don’t debate with them; just say ‘you are being rude to me by talking to me in this way’ and if/when they try to keep it up, just bluntly point out they are breaking the ‘polite’ part of the rule.

I meant it opens up for atheists to loudly (but politely) debate their religious viewpoint and try to convince everyone in the office to drop their religion.

Technically, this could be a non-starter. There’s nothing “polite” about telling someone that your beliefs are correct and theirs aren’t.

I assume this includes federal workers who are Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, etc. Right?

I have hadco-workers try to talk up their religion with me, it never ended well for them.

Fuck him

Asking HR to implement "punch your coworker" Fridays!

Can’t wait for Church of Satan to seek converts then, or Hindus, or Sikhs, or any other myriad of religions

We don't proselytize.

But if you did it means you could

I’m assuming telling them to GFY is acceptable.

Autocracy hiding behind religion…

The Romans were right!

The enlightened amongst them should begin advocating Satanism

Cult devils of the demonic confederacy are being dispatched. Federal employees can encourage co-workers to "re-think" their religious beliefs www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-a...

How can anyone watch this and not see the brainwashing grifting?

This is such a ridiculous memo. Encouraging the worst impulses in people.

The old “ You’re going to Hell; and I’m not!” Cram it down their throat evangelism method.

The next bit is more interesting. They're allowed unless it contributes to a hostile work environment. How could it not?

And if the non-Christians get upset, they will be the ones making the workplace hostile.

But can a Muslim or Jew do the same, I think not.

Excuse me while I go vomit

True. But in the last century, secular cultic nationalism has been even more pernicious: Maoism, Stalinism, Hitlerism, on and on. Secular cultic nationalism centers on the worship of the nation itself or its leader.

This is where is starts. We are already here.

…”these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise.”

Didn’t like Goldwater at all but here, I have to agree with him!

It’s a reprise of the Know-Nothing Party that Lincoln despised.

And I reserve the right to tell them to fuck right off.

Never been so proud to be an atheist.

i'd carry an airhorn around with me and shut that shit down REAL quick

🤣

Can’t wait for the Satanists and Muslims get started.

It doesn't say employee B doesn't get to punch employee A in the face for not leaving him the F alone.

What does the regulation say about the listener’s right to tell the speaker to perform an illicit sexual act upon himself?

Let me be the person they talk to. I would relish the opportunity to fact check them.

Well it does invite counter-proselytising. You want to tell me about your religion, I get to tell you why I don't believe any of it. Oh, and I get to seek you out and attempt to engage you in conversations about why you're wrong, just like you think you do.

🎯 #saveAmerica

Cannot wait until the Satanists erect their miniature Baal totems complete with entrails.

Fascism

I hope a lot of federal employees convert to Islam or Paganism and follow this guidance to the extreme. See how that sits with all of them

Do they specify which religion or can you counter-proselytise?

They're NOT christians.

"his faith is correct". "Correct" is not a word applicable to faith. Scientific methodology doesn't apply; it would demonstrate that no religion is "correct". The world would not be in the mess it is, if all-powerful, benevolent Gods exist. MAGA's version of religion is twisted beyond recognition.

Notice that it does not say that the employee who is encroaching upon the private beliefs of another cannot be the employee in charge of doing the performance reviews of said victim.

Can I introduce you to our lord and savior Quentin Tarantino?

We atheists are out of luck: A Theism, "Without Faith / God", right? It's an absence of belief. And we've struggled to message that. And humanists aren't really the type to engage with non-skeptics, right? So that's gonna be Scientologists and Jehovah's Witnesses around every corner. Yikes.

Non belief in religion is still considered a belief for legal purposes.

This is hilarious. It is funny though - People who believe can't comprehend the absence of belief. So it doesn't even become part of the conversation. It literally breaks their algorithmic code. They can't.

This can’t be real.

One of the biggest threats to worlds peace is fundamentalist fascism. Whether Evangelical Christianity or the Islamic Taliban. They brainwash children to believe in an imaginary friend who wants the to convert everyone to their faith or murder them. Religion is a crime against humanity.

that seems to mean we can proselytize them right back... ok.

Great, religious harassment from bosses and coworkers is now fine. Got it. Thanks. 😬

At the first sign of proselytism, start retching really loud and then cough in their face. Tell them you have an allergic reaction to christofascists.

If that doesn't start some work place holy wars I'll be amazed!

LOL I fucking dare somebody to try that shit with me. I'll give them a history lesson they'll never forget.

This image cut part of that quoted part. The last sentence of the paragraph reads: "However, if the non-adherent requests such attempts to stop, the employee should honor the request." And it's from the Appendix, where it's listing examples. Not directives. Fight back, but not with misinformation.

And the other employee can then tell the first one to go fuck him or her self!

There's nothing Christian about Trump. Which makes the hard right wing Christian sects' support of him even more baffling. I guess it's mutual use.

It is also required to punch said coworker in the mouth

If you're a Christian your job will be protected even if you are impolite in your argument, erasing, discussion. If you're Muslim you will be fired for being a jihadist. If your Jewish your name will be taken down for future reference.

* er[asing] was just supposed to be er...

No, they're interested in erasing discussion as well. They just want to preach, not debate.

If that happens I’ll practice my create no harm now fuck off spirituality on them

I expect Trump to start his holy war within the next year.

It's also an oxymoron. Anyone who actually leans into what Jesus teaches would never sign up for it.

An impeached rapist felon to declare himself clean. And his cult to follow him. Lecherous lemmings.

Never underestimate the danger of a large group of conservative "Christians."

MAGA supremacists only support WHITE MEN. Competent women, disabled, veterans, gay, POC, minorities, & anyone "non standard" sexually? "Those DEI people" should work as min-wage slaves, be deported, trafficked, incarcerated, or die. Trump administration "Diplomat" tweet below = US NAZI plan."

apparently "competent" means hasn't experienced abuse, othering, being degraded based on something outside one's choice or control. That sounds like making your young child w/o life experience, head of the household. Could we make VR experience of a "DEI" human's day to give them 1st hand POV?

Unfortunately, Darrin, there are so few competent white men. That's why they have to rely on guns.

DarrEn. We need an edit feature a whole lot.

Good grief... he is just putting it right out there.

This wont say "White" and "coloured " it will say "White Men" and "the rest."

That last picture is the worlds best anti-conception...

Agreed. Men get away with everything. So many pedos with Epstein, but who is put away? The woman. Not saying she isn't evil. Just saying many men treat women as small toothless dogs they are free to kick and blame for their crimes.

Yeah, and I would politely tell that person to fuck off and keep their religious shit to themselves.

The very first time someone asks me about my religion or lack there of at work I will sue my employer for allowing the invasion of my privacy while on the job. I’m not playing shit stains game anymore. Everyone keep your nose in your own damn business and out of mine. I will not respond kindly.

I’m sure they would be happy with people doing this for Wicca. :-)

American Sharia Law is paved with pathological sociopathic cosplayers.

Christian Nationalism was a pernicious threat last century as well.

Dump is hiding under his so called Christian ranting he is hardly that just using it to hoodwink people truly disgusting a real shit 💩💯👹🤬

And when it’s your supervisor who hold sway over a potential promotion???? Plus it’s an EO so you can ignore it

I can't believe I just through out my Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster now I'm allowed to proselytize.

"through out" - what the hell was I thinking with that spelling? "threw out" I meant.....

Gonna start wearing my strainer hat to work everyday! Make America Spaghetti Again!

To these people freedom of religion means the freedom to impose their religion. And the First Amendment says "Congress shall make no laws" which has been demonstrated to mean that it makes no constraint on the Executive Branch.

This is it exactly. They mean freedom of religion for me not thou.

There was a reason the country had separation of church and state. They are trying to send us back to a point in history that is meant to be left behind. They are going full handsmaid tale, and as a trans man I am terrified, but I won’t stop fighting anytime soon.

In the private sector, it’s common for employees to get fired for having the wrong religion. But they call it “not being a team player”.

Okay, atheists and agnostics. You know your assignment.

🤭

And the Satantists. Shoot, I’m ready for a Muslim to pull out their prayer rug and start praying in the aisle outside their cubicle.

Exactly! Good for the goose is good for the gander. Do your homework first - Stephen Fry and Ricky Gervais are good places to start.

My father, the ordained minister for 66 years, knowing I was an atheist, said that once you’ve got a religious person arguing on the basis of logic, they’ve already lost. There is no logic in belief. “That’s why it’s called faith.”

My son, just to be an ass, became an ordained minister of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I kind of loved it.

High priest in the Pastafarian church! Congratulations.

💙

💙 I love it! I became on, nondenominational, to performe the marriage ceremony for my former best friends, a lesbian couple.

Omg, Bruce! I love this.

Thank you! If I had transportation I'd offer my services for a small fee ONLY to same sex couples.

Why does the deity of the church of the flying spaghetti need to be a “monster”? I believe the church would have more followers, if it was “meatball” and of course the communion would be a meatball. May he roll in pasta.

It might pay to cover all bases

May his noodlienes embrace you and yours. -r’amen

💙

I'm on it!!

💙

Don’t forget Satanists!

💙

Christ! Is it lunch time now? Jesus! Is it time to go, already?!! I got nothing done all day!!!!

Screw that. Satanists, where you at?

Seriously agnostics? They can’t even pick a side, much less proselytize.

😂 Hey now. I'm agnostic and I can argue with any religious nut.

This policy will lead to numerous black eyes.

CN isn't in line with Jesus, shows no concern for your soul & a Christian theocracy is an oxymoron. I accepted Christ, the Holy Spirit began to change me from WITHIN. It's predicated on CHOICE & in no way can be forced or legislated. Coercion into ACTING compliant is to make THEM comfortable.

Then I assume the targets of this harassment are also free to politely say, "Well that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life."

Release the Wiccans, Pasta Heads, and Rastafarians. Go get ‘em.

As someone who doesn’t care about the existence of God, this argument is flawed. Chemical reactions exist regardless if they are taught or not; this will also get torn to shreds by actual religious scholars.

Perhaps "religiosity"; the need for an all-knowing leader, within humans will always exist as as a physiological/psychological trait. It still does not mean there are a christian, muslim god or hindu gods etc. It will be, to a larger and larger degree, a need for "a god of ever smaller gaps".

We’ve turned into a kind of oligarchy/theocracy with fascist tendencies.

Well, there are a lot of satanists who will love the hell out of this rule.

Oh ffs. How about this mind your own damn business. Pisses me off these people. I swear to the universe I dare them! I double dare them!

I would argue that Abrahamic religions are a pernicious threat.

Does this mean we can start publicly whipping money changers? I can think of a few that need an ass beating.

That’s the exact pose I want him to hold while one of the then little girls he raped kicks him in the face.

Hello!

Here's hoping that atheists use this shift to go ham on their evangelical coworkers "My religion holds there is no god at all. My belief system is better than yours and I am right."

Which will be the first state to house New Gilead. I'm betting on Texas.

Ew. Non-adherent?

What the actual fuck?

Fortunately, I can sound very polite when I tell someone to fuck off.

Unless they are revoking Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, they can fuck off. Report it as harassment US Dept. Of Labor It's illegal to harass a person because of his/her religion. Harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment

Christians: they’re just using you because they think you’re stupid and easy to manipulate. Prove them wrong.

So can the other employee then tell them why their religion is stupid?

I would just sit there and laugh, laugh, laugh until they cry.

They are the christian taliban.

Then ask back "which of the over 200 Christian religions is correct?" And then, "if so, Biblically prove it, with all biblical writings Genesis to revelations"

So what happens if the worker is a Muslim and decides to politely engage a fake Christian as to why Islam is a better religion, and maybe the "Christian" should rethink his own beliefs? How quickly will that Muslim be fired? Or even arrested & charged with promoting terrorism? Got an over/under?

ahhh. i really wanted to like #666 on this one...

Sounds like the crusades 2025.

one moronic thing after another and another over and over. The absurdity is breathtaking

And I will disengage.

I'm retired and no longer in the work force, but if I was still working I would enjoy telling them to fuck off. Whatever the repercussions.

I would have thought discussing religion with coworkers was normal. You kind of talk about everything.

Hell no, I had a lady cornered me & wouldn't let me walkway asking me why I didn't have kids & that Jesus wants me to breed, that's my job as a women. I was in the closet at that job & she kept asking why I was not married & preaching to me. It was so upsetting & manager wouldn't do anything.

That is absolute bullshit. Please tell me you GTFU.

Step 1: Proselytize Step 2: Whine to HR after your victim points out the logical flaws in your faith

Fuck that and fuck anyone who tries to proselytize anyone. If I were in the government and someone tried to do that to me the 1st time I’d tell them “not interested” if they persisted a fight would definitely ensue! Fuck these Christian Nationalists, keep you religious bullshit in your churches!🤬🤬🤬

Yes! I’ve been wanting to talk with you about Satanism for ages!!!

I hate this, but how does this realistically change the status quo? I've had doe-eyed skydaddy-worshippers telling me "Yeah, But you've never heard ME explain it before" for years.

Those enjoying that all religions (and atheism) now also have an opportunity are failing to see that this also creates a system where proselytizing any religion other than the State-Approved religion will get that fact reported, branding you as "not one of the loyal," as it were.

And I have the right to tell you to shove your religion straight up your ass. Isn’t freedom of speech something? 😁

Indeed it is, helmsman, and in general, so is all religion.

Lovely. 🤮🤮🤮

who cares with that insane asylum says

None of any govts business. It’s a workplace issue surely.

our time has come!!!!

FINALLY!!! 😆

He boiled for our sins. R'amen.

Have you been touched by His Noodly Appendage?

That did make me laugh. I think it was the inclusion of the word “noodly”. Yep, now I’m giggling again 😅

It is the only appendage I will tolerate being touched by. Noodly.

rAmen.

I be cackling like a mad lil fox!

Parmesan Be Upon Him

Pastafarians unite! The Flying Spaghetti Monster knows all!!!

Ramen

If Christ came back right now:

"I cannot hear your words for your actions overwhelm them!"

Can the co-worker politely say ? FUCK OFF'

wait till non-Christians cite this law- maga will implode

#EvilAtWork

WTF

Is the coworker being subjected to this allowed to punch the proselytizer in the nose?

This is going to get people hurt.

Can the other employees politely tell the proselytizer to eff off?

I'm pretty sure that doing so is a Important Central Belief and something mandated by our texts for us Pastafarians. Right?

If some brain dead zealot tries to engage with me at work in a religious conversation, then I’m going to quote from the book of SF in return: “Thoust Fuck Off!”

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Yup

Never fails.

Pretty much goes without saying.

YUP 😡🤮😱👹

Oh they’re most definitely Christian…full of hate and evil as fuck. Don’t conflate Jesus/his message/love with the dead, empty, and lifeless Christ

So true!

Christian in their profile is an Insta block from me

💯

And I can guess their browser history with 99% accuracy.

I start from the assumption that they're neither.

Agreed! Interesting the way it is worded, isn't it. It talks about ideology, not about spirituality. Humanity should have already learned that inquisitions fail to produce changed ideology. Plus I thought our country was into Freedom of 'religion', including the Right to Say No to Yours.

Not sure evangelicals realise that it goes both ways. They will have to tolerate atheists telling Christians that their invisible man in the sky is fake.

Carry around a Carl Sagan book and threaten them with education in basic science if they try it.

They'll revise it so that points of view such as these are considered firable hate speech.

At least they will find out what that feels like.

Imaginary friend for adults.

“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross”

Well I would definitely be eating lunch at my desk or stairwell, basement, sewer. Anywhere but the cafeteria. Pee in a cup at my desk just to avoid the bathroom.

Church of Satan should get on this with the Aggressive Compliance.

And said employee has every right to walk away. The problem is when the boss does it.

Fuck him too

Which him? Lol

What the actual hell?!?!?

Wait until I pull out my candles, crystals, and chimes!

I would love to hear a lunch hour meditation with “om mani padme hom”. Although I can never spell it right.

I expect they will try to fire any non-christian who does this.

And in other breaking news, Chuck got punched out in the break room by screwing around with the Cthulhu fanatic. 😏

You just know they'll try to stop it from being anything other than Christianity.

Christians Get rid of the evil Christians

I hope they consider FU as being polite.

JeebusTruckingPrice.

😅 I’m pagan now, if anyone asks. Have you heard about my gods. This will get fucking old quick.

Would happily and enthusiastically tell any coworker that pulled this shit on me to get fucked

Politely of course!

The Satanic Temple is gonna love this

I know several federal employees and have already reached out to TST to find out how they can best exercise their religious rights in the workplace.

OMG I never thought of this. They're gonna have so much fun using this decision!!

Everyone of every other faith should annoy the crap out of the christians in our politics.

Have you heard the good news about our Lord and saviour, the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

As a progressive Christian, I absolutely support the work that the Satanic Temple does in this area of religious abuse. Separation of Church and State are fundamental to both a functioning democracy and removing an avenue of abuse from those using it as a shield.

Maybe satan was the world's first freedom fighter in the realm of ideas.

interesting....

My first thought

I would learn witch/pagan just to give it back. Complete with a wiccan talisman.

I'm more Druidry and nordic runes, but I definitely hear ya

BTW.....I love that...wood is my favorite, tho I have enough rocks collected for over 70 years to fill a quarry.

I'm just driving into my Scots-Gaelic ancestors....& it seems that quite a few came from the Scandinavian countries.

Cuz nothin’ says lovin’ like something from the Coven.

I would smoke ganja and listen to Reggae music to convert my coworkers to rastafarianism

Hey Satan! Did anyone ever tell you about my lord and savior beezelbub. He lives for your sins

Ok, you got me curious enough to look. One started in Alaska in 2019, became a congregation in 2022, they are trying to achieve tax exempt 501(c)(3) status. Professional website lays out their core tenants of justice, reason, compassion, empathy, autonomy, and inclusion. Shit, I might have to go 🤣

Oh my...! Please preach Satan to the Christians "politely". 😂

Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion.

Sorry. I had 3 funny ideas for QRPs.

Helpful tip, before proselytizing me, and asserting the correctness of your rancid ideology, make sure your dental plan is up to date.

That’s Christo-Fascism, it erodes national integrity

And Trump is NO Christian…of any sort.

Nothing says you can’t just laugh in face when they try.

With no OPM or JAG responding to those complaints, a whole lot of federal workers and military personnel will probably be seeking treatment for various face punching injuries soon.

Someone challenge this!!! Separation of church and state!!!

I've had pretty good luck converting Christians to atheism. And on the other hand, it's good to know your enemy.

"polite discussion" has there ever been a discussion about religion that didn't end in someone getting kicked in the chest

During a break, they need to convince one another to arrange to take the devil down.

Ugh. I hate this.

Excellent! Now I can finally preach the teachings of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and assert that pastafarianism is the one TRUE correct religion! RAMEN!

I suppose that means that people of any religion can proselytize if they're so inclined

Is this only for Christians? Can we now tell Christians at work that they are not REAL Christians? Can Satanists now try to convert people?

If we are going to have a "christian nation" & force people into freedom of (christian only) religion, then we need to go all in & bring back the old ways. I seem to remember that theft is cut off the hands. Adultery (4X)- death by stoning. What is the punishment for violating the 10 Commandments?

employers who value workplace harmony may have other ideas, also courts may intervene when radical proselytizers get angry at being asked to stop

Trump is a threat to decency, democracy and teenage girls. TRUMP IS A PEDOPHILE TRUMP IS EPSTEINS FRIEND, PARTNER, AND CO DEFENDANT. TRUMP IS ON THE LIST

To all satanists: you know your assignment.

👀

So we are bringing back lunch time brawls then ?

Trump is firing out distractions left and right to shift the news narrative away from the Epstein files - don’t take the bait! Stay squarely on the target 🎯 What is Trump hiding?

Sure all while he’s not only hiding his mistresses abortions but also his penchant for little boys 🤷🏽‍♀️

WTF! I hope they will allow the co-worker receiving the lecture to punch the religious zealot in the face with impunity.

I hope some Satanists take full advantage

Can't wait to see what TST will follow with. 👏🏽 @luciengreaves.bsky.social

MAGA are a bunch of simpletons. They can take their fake religion and shove it.

Christianity has always been a “pernicious threat” I’ve never seen Evangelical Buddhism, Hindi or Vodou. It’s only Christianity that believes it’s entitled to kill and malign people for not following that.

I was actually preached to by evangelical Buddists in college. They were cool, I invited them in for lemonade and we chanted for a bit. It was very strange.

That’s amazing! I’m fortunate to have done some travelling (much more to do:) and it always seems one can find someone trying to spread the ‘good news’ 😂

I interpret any & all proselytizing as a form of assault. Be warned!

Try it folks...you'll get what's coming and you won't like it when it's put back in your face.

No one should have to endure this kind of harassment at the workplace.

TIME TO DIG THIS MEME UP AND SHOVE IT BACK AT THEM, again — because they’re slow learners.

They are going to be mighty annoyed when this backfires and everyone else starts preaching their faith back at them.

Join my religion. It treats punching out people who push their religion on you, as a sacred right. Therefore is a protected act.

... He who grabs women by the pussy is a member of the non-adherent ...

It is now the patriotic duty of every federal employee who is Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or Wiccan, or who claims there is no God (also faith-based), to routinely push their faith-based beliefs onto every one of their co-workers who claims to be Christian.

This is sooooooo disrespectful. But coming from him….

Completely one directional, as intended We need to normalize saying "it's fine you believe in your religion, but please keep your delusions to yourself"

Come at me, bro

How much would you be willing to pay to sl@p the smile right off of that smug mother f*cker’s face?
