The things that religion makes you do.
#7
RE: The things that religion makes you do.
I've mentioned this before, a Jewish friend of mine would pick the meat of his pizza slice at work, and I asked about if it would have been OK to have ordered hamburger instead of sausage. No as it turns out, milk (in the form of cheese) and beef together is a problem too. He said he really didn't mind, he found comfort in participating in his religion through out the day. As a Jew working in a 90% Christian environment at a US defense contractor it didn't seem unreasonable to me he wanted to do things that way. I don't think he had to put up with any crap from the Christers at work, but management was clearly top heavy with Christers and the board was quite (notably) conservative too. We had Bork (really) on the board for a while. As a gay man working at a defense contractor with a board member publishing a book titled 'Slouching Towards Gomorrah" I had probably more 'interesting' and stressful days there than did our Jewish tech analyst.

We had a lesbian in out department too, she was pretty serious about her career path there. I was pretty neutral on the topic, LOL.
