Yeah, unlike most here who think the 10 commandments were nailed to the cross, here’s a guy who doesn’t fall for that lie. And he’s willing to lose a job for his conviction to keep the Sabbath which is for him......Sunday. I admire that. So rare.

He keeps the wrong day, but good for him, he’s showing conviction. Read the comments here, these, today’s evangelicals keep no day because they think the 10 commandmets were nailed to the cross. LOL....yeah, until I steal their car.

This guy keeps the Sabbath the way Protestants used to keep it and I respect that. Problem is you can’t find any protestants today who even keep Sunday. They have talked themselves out of the 10 commandmants all because of the Sabbath! funny, they ain’t kiddin anyone.

I’ts not the law they hate.....just the Sabbath. They got laws against abortion, Homosexuality, etc. They are picky choosey on their laws.......this guy isn’t! Good for him! I think God honors his conviction at this time too.

Can you translate that into the common English vernacular?

The Postal worker just out Christianed everyone on FR who has a different religious belief in the opinion of vespa300.

IN YOUR FACE!

That is what he or she said.

Not sure that is a very Christian attitude.

I'd like to know how the postal service works as far as job assignments and seniority. I worked for NY State. The Department I worked for was uniformed and jobs were based on seniority. Officers were different from supervisors when it came to what vacation groups you were assigned to, but you still had to bid a job and win it by seniority. If you chose not to bid a job, you would be extra, and would work at the pleasure of the Staffing Lieutenant. That meant you might work a couple of days on the day shift, but then would be required to come back in that night for the midnight shift, which was actually considered the next day.

Depending on the facility, uniformed staff would work a rotating 6 days on, two days off, which would eventually rotate around to having two weekends off back to back. Then you'd start the 6 days on, and two days off cycle again. The better jobs of course went to the more senior people who bid on them. Jobs with weekends and holidays off were the prime jobs, but there were only a handful of those, and the most senior people would win them. When you originally took the job, you knew you would be working weekends, and sometimes double shifts if necessary. And, when you took the job, you would have known that you may be sent to a facility clear across the state, with the chance that you wouldn't be able to transfer back closer to home for at least three years. If you couldn't handle that. Then you didn't take the job. When I took the job in 1980, you had to have a year on the job before you could request a transfer. That rule was eventually changed.

There was never an accommodation made for any religious groups represented in the uniform staff, but of course, the department made religious accommodations for the convicts.
