This (hindu) girl at my work mentioned that they announced a new Pope, and I said 'Who, Michael Jackson?'. The next day some egotistical manager called me in to his office mentioning how I need to be very cautious of my opinions, and to consider the array of diverse religions and cultures of the people around me. I guess he's a hard-core evangelical christian type, which struck me as funny since I was raised in a Catholic house, went to Catholic School, and had Catholicism shoved down my throat. I guess none of that matters now anyhow, as I consider myself Agnostic. I had to stand my ground and remind him that... A) I'm 'technically' Catholic B) People shouldn't discuss religion at work C) He should respect the opinions of others, just as he expects them to respect his. sheeple I had an incident at a new job around the time of the Michael Jackson scandel…
