Will Work for Salvation
...this one's for Chase.
Teaching. I go back and forth. Sometimes I want to leave the classroom and return to the corporate world where I’d work with grownups and earn a decent salary. Other times I enjoy the challenges and family time teaching allows. Plus coaches are hot.
Just for fun, I checked the job scene in Colorado Springs. A few items seemed interesting. Imagine my surprise when, upon further investigation of one particular position, I discovered the following, listed under “Duties and Responsibilities”:
Must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Is a consistent witness for Jesus Christ, maintains a courteous, Christ-like attitude in dealing with people.
Now, Jesus and I go way back, but no one would accuse me of having a “Christ-like attitude” with anyone. Still. I have it on good authority that SOG digs me. However, something tells me that this company ain’t interested in a witty Jew who talks to God while on the toilet. I found several job openings in the area with similar requirements:
Concern for the poor and needy people, particularly children, and sees our response to the needs of hurting people as a Biblical mandate.
Meaning you want to humiliate and punish the corrupt government officials who cause such hurting? Sounds Biblical to me.
Experience in relation to Christians and church leaders of all different denominational backgrounds.
I gotta family full of Catholics who barely tolerate me.
I know. I’m so screwed.

I defer to Title VII which bars employers from requiring a compatable religion from an applicant...
# Employers may not treat employees or applicants more or less favorably because of their religious beliefs or practices - except to the extent a religious accommodation is warranted. For example, an employer may not refuse to hire individuals of a certain religion, may not impose stricter promotion requirements for persons of a certain religion, and may not impose more or different work requirements on an employee because of that employee's religious beliefs or practices.
# Employees cannot be forced to participate -- or not participate -- in a religious activity as a condition of employment.
