What's your job?

Nice jobs you guys got!! Another question if you guys would like to answer?

Do you talk about your religious views at work? Of all the co-workers I talk to over half talk about religion or god. I never told anyone I don't believe I just nod my head to whatever they are saying

I live in the bible belt so everyone around me is a Christian. My coworkers know I'm atheist but after another coworker said that 'her' rights were being taken away when they stopped mandatory prayer in school when she was a child I stopped discussing religion with them. One customer I told lectured me for ten minutes so I don't tell the customers either.

Im a superhero/movie star/musician/sports athlete/supermodel  

No, i don't talk about religion at work. But i also wouldn't avoid it if the topic was brought to me. 

Seriously though, i work at a bank.

Me too! XD Mine is small town only 6 people in the entire building when fully staffed.

My atheism isn't exactly a secret at work, but I don't think it's widely known. It was an issue when it first came out when I worked in another division (someone was persistent in asking me what church I attend) in that some members of my staff suddenly decided to put down that I'm unapproachable on the annual survey, but if my current staff knows, they aren't mentioning it. I know for sure at least two of my fellow managers know, and they're both very religious.

Generally, I don't think it's an appropriate topic for work, and I don't bring it up.

That is horrible! I hate how they think we are bad guys just because we don't follow their games. I'm glad your new staff is either unaware or uninterested but it still sucks that it has to be hidden to avoid this kind of stuff.

I'm so jealous of the farmers. I want to be one so bad. I feel like the only way to afford a farm is to marry into one or grow up on one. My husband's family is slowly building a ranch by adding a few animals at a time that I hope to help out with one day.

Marriage or inheritance is the best way to get one, but only if it is already paid off, and for the inheritance angle, not too big to avoid inheritance tax liability which will either force a sale of the farm you just inherited, or taking out a loan to pay the taxes and the loan will be secured by the farm so next time it doesn't rain or the administration gets a hissy fit going on about exports that make commodity prices tank and the bank winds up with your farm.

And then you can be a greater at Walmart . . .

That's horrible : just want to grow things and tend to animals. I'm sure when I am older I can have just enough to produce food for our family so maybe it won't break the bank. The father in law was an officer in the army so they have good money to get summin small started. Right now the well is being the biggest issue. I already get up at 5am so I know I can do the dawn to dusk work frame and I love getting my hands dirty and working hard makes me feel accomplished. I work inside at a desk right now and I know it is sucking the life from me.
