So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

re: So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

Frankly I think there is way too much spin about the number 666, and frankly I don't think anyone really understands it's context and exact meaning as it pertains to Revelation 13:18.
 
re: So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

I would gladly wear a 666 sticker, on my forhead.
 
re: So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

where in the bible does it say man should not wear 666?

I don't see how he has a leg to stand on. is it stupid to fire over this? yes.

but I don't see how he has any reason to demand he can't be fired over it. no christian religion I am aware of forbids the practice of displaying 666.

1. I don't think he should have been fired over it.
2. I think he might have a religious discrimination case, maybe.
3. He's a religious nut.
 
re: So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

this is a simple math problem,no?
 
re: So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

Worrying about 666 is idol worship. A life that is faith first and obedience second would not fret.
 
re: So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

They most cetainly should not have fired him over something like this to be sure. He should have stated it was something he would not do for religious reason and considering it didnt cause any direct harm to the company or workforce I do not see why they made such an issue of it.

A man was fired from his plant job for refusing to wear a "666" to mark the number of safe days and has filed a federal lawsuit. I can see why he wouldn't have wanted to wear the sticker, but I wonder why he and others didn't speak up well in advance of the 666th day. (Or maybe they did, and I'm just not aware of all the facts.)

Well if nothing else, the guy's an idiot. He could have simply just taken the day off from work and he'd still have a job.
 
re: So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

I swear everyone involved is retarded. The company is wasting money on stickers every day. The employee wasn't smart enough to put a decimal point on the sticker, wear it upside down, put a second sticker over the first so it could read something different, call in to work, or actually understand that wearing a stupid sticker celebrating accident free days doesn't go against their religion.

It's not like the sticker was reenacting the murder of his Messiah.
 
re: So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

unless they wear a sticker every day, then I wouldn't wear one for 666 and would sue their pants off over firing me for it. however, if I wore a 665 sticker yesterday and was going to wear a 667 sticker tomorrow, I'd wear the 666 sticker today. and then I'd ask for a raise, using the logic that if the company can afford to waste money on stupid stickers for every employee to wear every day, they can surely afford to pay me more

not at all
the employee was opposed to wearing no number other than 666
he expressed that concern because of his religious beliefs
his faith would not permit him to wear the mark of the beast
he believed that the issue had been resolved
read that again
he believed that the issue had been resolved

it is for that reason that he cannot be blamed for failing to take the day off, calling in sick, or intentionally causing an accident on or before day 665, to eliminate the prospect of having to wear the mark of the beast


for the quoted poster to assume the employee's belief in 666 was a bogus one would be like me insisting your belief that Christ is the son of G-d is a bogus one. only that employee can say what his personal religious views are

the employer would be smart (less dumb might be a better term) to end this by making the employee whole and not losing an expensive court case

I would like to see where he got the idea that he could not wear the mark of the beast.

It's only the mark of the beast if the beast is wearing it.

the mark of the beast is whatever one's religious belief causes them to believe something is the mark of the beast
many were raised in the belief that '666' is the mark of the beast
i recall as a child (LONG ago), hearing some of my elders express their own belief that the social security number was the mark of the beast. they refused to get a social security number and thus, SS benefits, only because of their religious belief

the employer will lose the case because they forced the employee to chose between his religious convictions and continued employment. that is a violation of EEO law
 
re: So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

as bubba said (gods I can't believe I am agreeing with him) the guy had already talked to a manager about it and had been assured that he would not have to wear the sticker. he, justifiably, thought the matter was closed. it doesn't matter how crazy anyone thinks his belief in "the mark of the beast" may or may not be, that is really not relevent

he voiced a concern, was told he would be exempt, the management changed their mind and fired him. bad policy, at the very least he should get his job back and back pay for the time he has been away. and the two managers involved should face some kind of disciplinary action.
 
re: So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

I'd wear it upside down, and put dashes between the numbers and write "Cain for POTUS" underneath.

Not that I really support Cain, but it would be a fine joke. Of course, being afraid of the number 666 is a joke, too.
 
re: So would you wear a "666" sticker at work?[W:178]

I'd have "forgotten" to put the sticker on that day and not said anything. It's possible that nobody would have noticed.

but that's not really the point. the point is he was told not to worry about it and then when the day came they changed their mind and then fired him when he wouldn't back down.

once the employer realized that the wearing of 666 might have religious complications for some employees, they failed to act reasonably. they could have altered the number to be 665+1, 660+6, 600+66, 222*3, 333*2, square root of 443,556
we see many multi-story buildings with the elevator going from floor 12 to floor 14 with no intervening 13th floor, in an effort to prevent people from being on that "unlucky" 13th floor
making an accommodation would have been much easier and less costly than the legal drama all parties will now encounter


as a union rep, it would not surprise me if the employee was one who wasn't highly prized, and the employer then fabricated a 'justification' to terminate him for 'cause'
this is not infrequently done. and it gets the employer in trouble. if the employee is a problem, get rid of him because he sucks ... not because the employer cannot accommodate his religious beliefs
