Hey all!
I have a quick question.
I started working at a clothing store about a month ago as a part time manager. It's really convenient for me since I'm a full time business major and I am able to gain experience without working 40 hours a week.
Interestingly enough, the owner of the store, "Walk on Water" is a Christian. And not just the average Christian, she's a hard core believer in Jesus and all that is wonderful in the Bible.
The compass in the center of the store, painted on the ceiling above the circular desk area is representative of the Bible. And under the carpet and hardwood are Bible scriptures.
Various scriptures in frames are placed in the back and in the bathroom and when we receive our store updates with our bi-monthly checks, she always says something about God. Also, at our manager meeting, she made sure to open with a prayer.
None of this really bothers me. It's a privately owned business and I am very appreciative of the opportunity that I was given.
BUT
Of course, there's a but...
My boyfriend came in to visit me one day and apparently, while I was with a customer, one of the other managers asked if he was a Christian out of the blue.
No one has asked me yet, but I am not one to lie about my beliefs. How do you think I should respond if asked about my religion? I don't follow any specific paths... I think I'm more spiritual than religious, but I am not sure how that would be taken.
Ideas or opinions?
Thankya much!
EDIT:
Thanks to all who responded, you were all quite helpful :)
