Should I wear my pentgram to work? (beliefs, bible, faith)

[Kcnorwood]

I have tomorrow off maybe I'll go in for some reason like checking what time I go in Thursday & wear it & see how it goes. People might not even notice but if I get some stange looks I won't wear it again. YOu all are right I should be able to wear it & not get into trouble but then again knowing my luck!

I'm just about to get past my 90 days there & get promoted to the dept I want to me, I've had nothing bad ever said about me, just that I'm a hard worker. Any advice would be good please!

So just you newcomers out there I am not doing this for shock value I want to be able to show my faith just like anyone else.

OH, I do live in the biblebelt.

Be very weary of letting anyone see it or know your beliefs at work. I also live in the bible belt and you will be judged more times than not. I wear a symbol that is offensive to christians myself. I am just very discrete so that it is never seen.

When I go out to eat or to a movie I wear it but I know what you mean. Work is a very different thing, like I said before it's not so much the people I work with it's the customers.

If you are asking whether you should be able to wear it then yes! Absolutely!

Realistically, people will make you wish you hadn't. That is my experience anyway and coming from Godless England. Maybe in a couple more generations.

Edit: The way I look at it is even if the vast majority of your customers are open minded and tolerant, it only takes one bigot to screw up your day.

After reading all you post I think I'lll wait until after I get my promation,thanks for the advice. It is a shame that out in the real world that some times we still get chaisted for what we believe in. No matter what they faith might be. At this point & time I don't think it's a good idea to wear it.

Next thing I know I was let go, the night mamager said I had tried to run over him with a pallet jack! Just so you know this is IMPOSSIBLE with pallet jacks have wheehs as big has a skateboard.

I could see a foot getting run over, and crushed, but not run over someone. I don't even think it would be possible with a sto jack.

Open their minds and if not their minds tell them to open their hearts we all have a right to display our differences

People should be able to like you and respect you for who you are and what faith you follow. Wear it and if people do have a problem with it ask them why and explain to them why you wear it.

Should I wear my pentgram to work?

I don't assign any significance to pentagrams. Do US people in general?

Yup. By wearing one, you can expect the follow to be said;
You are a devil worshipper
You are demonically possesed
You are in need of salvation
You steal kids and kill and eat them
I think I covered the main ones.
