Panera Employee Allegedly Fired for Pagan Beliefs

Nothing odd at all. It was a hypothetical to try to demonstrate your bias against and stereotyping of Christians. I suspect you feel one way about one situation (religion) and a different way of it we’re race. In other words, you belief or disbelieve the allegations in a lawsuit based merely on your preconceived notions about particular groups.

I don't deny I'm biased against it. Nor do I hide that I do consider myself an anti-Christ. That's why I keep bringing up stories and examples and links to support my claims, things that give me no reason to doubt the OP.
And of course not all of them are such cretins, but it still stands they believe in a god who wants so many of us dead. A god who stands for and permits things we see and heinously cruel and illegal. Some Christians may not be bad people, but their "holy book" still uses the term "righteous" to refer to a man who volunteered his daughters to be gang raped. They still promote a book that promotes values that inherently and fundamentally incompatible with modern values, such as freedom of religion.
She should shrink his head, which would, of course, verify that her religion is real, and it would make his voice much softer and higher in pitch.
You are warm and compassionate. You bristle at rape and death. The smug believe themselves to be going to a blissful afterlife next to the right hand of a God that has smote armies. It seems to me that the good will be going to good places.
She quoted the bible (about rape), and that is not a preconceived notion.
And none of that has anything to do with whether THIS particular Panera manager said or did the things alleged in a lawsuit. Maybe he did. Maybe he didn’t. And most likely, the company will settle the case before we ever find out, not necessarily because there is liability, but perhaps because settling early is more cost effective than protracted litigation.
Whatever the Bible says about rape is irrelevant to this particular lawsuit. Or are you suggesting that the allegations against the Panera manager MUST be true because of what the Bible says about rape???
and for the record, I’m not a Christian so I don’t fall into the “smug” stereotype you apparently have for Christians.
Oh, so you believe the allegations too?
It always amazes me that people can say something in a lawsuit and others automatically believe it’s true without question. No wonder most companies pay to settle rather than putting their fate in the hands of 12 strangers.

It is supporting why I do not doubt the OP. To me I see nothing that seems made up or fabricated, and I'll keep going on to support my claim if you want.
I am merely pointing out Christians have all sorts of justifications for their wickedness in the Bible. And, indeed, for many centuries women in the Christian West did suffer from their being no concept of domestic abuse and rape. Women are, after all, according to the Bible, supposed to be subservient to men to be fully submissive to them.
It's only when we say god and the Bible are wrong does anything get better, and Christians generally do go along with it. Like those Christians who abolitionists, but that did require them to proclaim that which god permits and condones is wrong. Doesn't seem very "Christian" to me. But many of them become self-righteous and judgemental, believing the world is theirs to judge and shape. Thus we get stories like the one in the OP and the reputation of Christianity becomes further tarnished.
