“And yes, the work place, the mall, everywhere is the place to tell people that Jesus saves.”

Actually, no. The workplace is for work. Somebody is paying for your time to do their work, not God’s work. The pastor at this particular church told them “They can’t slam the door on you. Just stay in their face until they agree to come to church.” Wow, that got old. These weren’t even people you’d like to hold a conversation with. Nobody who is focused on something bizarre is fun to talk to. I think they were some kind of David Koresh type cult. All of us breathed a sigh of relieve when the company finally came down on them.

As to what religion gets singled out; of course we know. But the military has a problem. The Marines especially are generally very Christian.

I don’t think your story is the topic of this thread. The military isn’t trying to shut down inappropriate religious activities, they want to call all religious activities inappropriate.

Nobody is suggesting you not work...but share your faith while you work.

If you can't talk about anything other than work (according to your definition) because someone is paying you to work...and if that is wrong...then you can probably courts martial every man and woman in the military...starting at the top. I've been in 26 years. I laid 5 clicks of C-Wire in Iraq. You telling me I should have just talked about C-Wire cause "I am being paid to work?"

Someone in this conversation has obviously never sat guard duty or mid night watch. The work place is for work...and chit-chat is everywhere in the military...and if we are going to say a work place is for work only...then you gotta lock up the entire military.

And what I said is true...we all know why this is being put forth...and it ain't to stop Muslims from sharing their faith.
