It's the other way around for me, actually. At my job I am confronted about my Catholic faith in some way, shape or form most days. It's usually some snide remark, a passive aggressive statement, etc. I don't do the confronting unless something said is overly offensive and oppressive.
I'm quitting my job soon, though, and depriving them of their teasing they enjoy so much. :)
Actually, that's what I meant, Jen. I should have asked: "Are you confronted by atheists in daily life?"
Yeah, I'm tired of snide remarks and passive agressive statements.
Is your quitting related to this issue at all?
This particular issue is one of many reasons I am quitting. Other reasons are:
Since becoming more keen to the evils of feminism, I have shifted my outlook on what kind of work would be appropriate for me, given my current state in life. At my current place of employment I was a manager and stepped down due to my scruples with supervising men twice my age with familys to feed. One of those men actually ended up getting promoted to my position upon me stepping down. Yay! I also had issues with many injustices against employees that I refused to enforce. That was about 6 months ago. But even after stepping down, I still didn't feel right and began questioning wether it was right for me to be in the workforce. I felt as though I was feeding the beast called feminism, yet I had to support myself somehow. Wasn't sure what to do for awhile. Sought counsel from my priest, didn't find any clarification so I just prayed very persistently to God that if I needed to get out of the secular workforce, he would provide me a way to do it. Over the past few months it became clearer and clearer to me that I needed to remove myself as much as possible from the typical workforce. Being exposed to rampant feminism, vulgarity, temptations and the like was an everyday occurrence, and it was bad for my soul. Nothing about my job encouraged femininity, and I wasn't ok with that.
Long story short, after a couple years of resisting (for various reasons... some legitimate, some not), I decided to finally move back to my hometown to be with my parents. They've recently been endeavoring a hobby farm, and I am jumping on board with that. They both work, so I'll be doing a lot of the business. Selling fresh milk (kansas is one of the few places allowed to sell milk) and things made from milk such as soap, lotion, cheese, etc. I'll also be raising some livestock specifically for the fiber to spin. There's a good market for all things natural right now. With good marketing and hardwork, I think I could be successful. I've done these types of things my whole life, just haven't tried to make money with it. I'll also be teaching piano and voice lessons. The best part is, all of this can be done from home. To start off, I'll probably have to get a very part time job until things get rolling. I have several options at this point, and all are with very small family type businesses.
That was a windy response to a small question. I'm not the most concise person...
