Well it would ruin the kosherness of the food in the deli.
In this case it looks like it was causing problems with other employees (and there were only a handful of employees there anyhow so she's a big fish in a small pond) AND with people coming in to discuss business.
I think she knew what she was doing. It doesn't sound "Christian" to me.
Well I hope she enjoys her fifteen minutes of fame *lol*
It doesn't have to be "Christian". She can still be employed if she is an atheist.
I think they stepped over the line when they messed with her choice of food.
(You mean like THIS??)
Romans 14
14. As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.
15. If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother for whom Christ died.
16. Do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil.
17. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
18. because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
19. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
20. Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.
21. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall.
22. So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
