Fired from my job because of a post I made on a forum here

Its been a while since I've posted, but some of you might remember this post I made back in August when I was debating about taking the job because of its religious affiliations. Well, last night my boss googled my name. Who knows why. She fired me for it. She wanted me to delete it, but I refused. I'm really feeling like shit right now. I probably shouldn't be writing this as she will probably look for a legal way to make me remove the first post I made.

Before you do anything - did you have a formal employment contract ? If you did, read it VERY carefully. Preferably with a lawyer if you know one.

Ashley thanks for contacting me. I have begun inquiring to others about your situation (including Margaret Downy as someone suggested). I have friends with ties to the upper echelons of the ACLU who I am contacting as well. The only concern I have is that the school was religiously oriented. They may be protected like they are with homosexuals. I'll be in touch.

Isn't discrimination, based on religion, illegal? If so, I wonder what your chances are of a law suit.

You have a mind like a steel trap.

I googled my name (though Sonny isn't my legal name, it is actual James{ick}) and the first things to come up was my Atheist nexus page. Bring it on, I say.

I googled my name and everything that came up was about killing songbirds. Yikes!

I'd like to suggest that, once someone changes their name on site that people interacting with said person don't continue to use their old name.

Please keep us posted, lost in translation.

Wow! First, my thoughts on your original post are that: 1) there's clearly nothing offensive in it and 2) 18k - 20k is too little money for a McDonald's burger flipper, let alone someone with a college degree.

I wish you luck with any legal action you take, and I hope you take all the legal action available to you. I agree with a poster who suggested it might be time for an atheist legal defense fund; I wonder how we'd set such a thing up. Also, perhaps it's time for a letter-writing campaign. If you post the e-mail addresses of your supervisor, of her supervisor and of your congresspeople I'm sure many people on these boards (myself included) would be happy to send e-mails explaining exactly how we feel about this situation.

I don't even think should be just about being atheist, but about anyone whose employer discriminates based on their personal life.

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 5 Comments

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

anti-atheist rant from an Orthodox Mormon part 2

What do you think of this,

 

Nathan Young,

 

No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it.  The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs.  I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance.  The letter was a mockery of atheism.  Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
