Discrimination, oppression, and the War on Christianity

[tackattack]

Um, generically speaking, coaches aren't released because they pray, they get released for getting other people to pray in their capacity as a representative for the institution they're coaching for. Protecting people from having an authority figure who may have influence over things like who starts and who gets benched is preventing the coach from oppressing them; not oppressing the coach. If I hire a Muslim or a Hindu to coach the problem with them organizing prayers seems to be readily apparent to all concerned, but if the coach is a Christian, somehow it's a mystery. If you're not capable of performing the tasks of your job as outlined by your employer, you're in the wrong job; like a Muslim bartender who refuses to mix drinks because he views it as against his religion. Well, he shouldn't be a bartender, should he?

I was an assistant volunteer coach. We having a team prayer for years and pray over our victory meals. It wasn't until an atheist parent's child joined and they felt the need to make it a point that I was released to save the drama. At no point was there discrimination or oppression of the boys based on their participation in the prayer or personal beliefs it was solely a SJW point. At no point was anyone forced to participate. I will agree that telemarketing wasn't the job for me. But I was still fired for refusing to lie. If I weren't a Christian and just refused to lie I probably would have been fired as well, so that's probably a bad example.

@Gae Bolga it was public and on the field at a team huddle pre-game. I can only guess the mother didn't want their child to be perceived as different from the rest of the team because the prayer confused him.

We can say both cases weren't because of my religion, but of other people's personal beliefs. My boss thought that I should lie to customers. The mom thought I was singling out her son. I guess there is no such thing as persecution. Glad that was solved. It's not the Christian who gets beheaded's fault it's the wrong beliefs of the regime that does it?
