I rarely use Facebook, but I have a ton of Christian friends on there due to my Catholic background. They usually post stupid things about god, but never anything like that. You should post a reply, assuming it wouldn't affect your job. Virtual fights and stalking are what that site is intended for, or at least used for.

I use Facebook, but I keep the list pretty trim. No religious wackos on mine!
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

I don't understand why people feel the need to add bosses or coworkers to their fb. o__o

My daughter does this.  I've told her I think she's insane.

I generally don't socialize face to face with bosses or co-workers either.  I just don't see the point.  I can't be myself without fear of repercussions, and this goes beyond atheism to just about anything. 

However, every once in a blue moon I encounter a co-worker who's cool.  There's a guy on my floor who's in that category.  We don't socialize but I wouldn't be afraid to, if asked.  The key here is, exceptions need to be made on a case by case basis, and the standards for trustworthiness and tolerance need to be very high.

My only real office experience is in places where it is common to be friends with co-workers; even those that are your supervisor.  Those kind of friendships have lead us to stick together and help each other through the recession as the firm started breaking up (through both layoffs and by choice).  I also feel that many of us have built up the foundation for life long friendships from our time working together. So, there is something to be said for office friendships if the social dynamic of the office allows for it.  It does take a special kind of understanding if you boss is also your friend...as is my case currently.

I don't view fb as a good platform for welcoming debates ...

If it can't fit on a postcard, then it's too long for Facebook.

That's amusing, because someone at a party gave me  coupon for dunkin donuts, but they expired today. I didn't use them in time!! DAMN YOU LUCIFER!! :(

But seriously, that is the thing I hate the most about fundies. When good happens, it's god, when bad happens, it'd Lucifer. Well then, if I buy a bad cup.of joe, the devil did it? ???

You just don't get it do you? You missing the expiration date was not the work of Lucifer. But rather the work of god! Had you eaten some dunkin donuts you may have gained some weight, raised your cholesterol and been one more day closer to death. You should be on your knees praying your heart out thanking god for one extra day on this earth.
Wait a minute, if you would have eaten those donuts you would have lost a day on this earth which means you would have been one more day closer to meeting him. Maybe that's what you should have been praying for. I get so confused.

The thing with fundies is, they can take whatever happens and put some sort of spin on it either for god, or against Satan. When you aren't working with logic "Anythings possible".

Seriously, I'm just waiting for the day she thanks god for chocolate and multiple orgasms.


Okay, yes, but if god gave you chocolate and MOs, well, it would be rude not to say thank you..... :D

You make a valid point.  I'd be pretty grateful myself.   ;)
