    Where’s my colander? I need to get to work and spread the good news about being touched by His Noodley Appendage! Pastafarians, get out there and preach the good word to your fellow federal employees!

    OPM issued the guidance to restore constitutional freedoms and enable feds to practice their religious practices without fear of retaliation, the agency said.

    Fuck. You.

    I guess that means all the atheists are also welcome to tell everyone that there is no such thing as God? I could get behind that. It would be an awful place to work though. Especially considering that has nothing to do with their job haha

    Seriously, who has the time for this kind of shit on the job?

    Also, can those who are targets of the proselytizing tell people doing the proselytizing where they can stick it?

    Does nothing:

    As an example of the new policy, OPM said that during a break one employee can engage another “in polite discussion of why his faith is correct and why the non-adherent should rethink his religious beliefs." The employee should stop if the “nonadherent” colleague asks him to, according to the guidance.

    The guidance is not entirely a departure from existing federal policy. The Labor Department has for at least several years maintained guidance that suggests “employees who seek to proselytize in the workplace should cease doing so with respect to any individual who indicates that the communications are unwelcome.”

    It was a problem before trump, it’s still a problem now, but hopefully trump being a blatant ass about it makes people demand the next one actually fixes it.

      I think the “non-adherent” should be given as much time to rebut the person bothering them in the first place. Something like, “hey ding-a-ling, here is why your book club is false and the one true way is the Church of the Subgenius because…”

    Time to move my office to the top of a flight of stairs. If their god really wants me to convert, he’ll stop me from sending his messengers on a gravity-assisted trip to ground level.
