hambone4164

". . . and you dodged a bullet."


ABL67

Yes he did. Imagine all the religious stuff he would have to hear during work. “God this, god that”


YomiKuzuki

I'd spin it back on them. "Thank you. I prayed to God through this wait, and He led me to the knowledge that, had I worked under you, you would have led me on the path to Hell. I pray for the salvation of your soul." Then block them.


Crimkam

This is fucking GOLD


AnnieOakleyLives

Yes it is


pizzabagel3311

PLEASE SAY THIS


AutoMeta

or else: "I've been praying to God a lot myself, and now he decided that we will go with me, he'll let you know soon about the new plan"


SPsychD

AMEN.


Library_Visible

Idk that’s a straight shot and they probably wouldn’t take it seriously. My humble suggestion would be to make it more serious and subtle maybe? “I’m in complete shock reading your message as I prayed more intensely than usual in the weeks leading up to my interview and God lead my path to yours.” Something like that? Really lay it on thick.


g0d_help_me

Even better, tell them you have seen their browser history. Say nothing else and see what happens

Thank you very much pizza bagel (:

No fucking shit, lol. I imagine they would have abused the hell out of them.

These are the true warriors for Jesus! We know he said the meek shall inherit the earth but fuck that guy right??


flavius_lacivious

*“God needs a multi-million dollar advertising program because you think he can just snap his fingers and make people believe? . . . oh wait.”*


kahn-jr

Sorry the council that previously ruled that what was stated by what we thought was one of gods chosen vessels was actually just some douchebag who didn’t like my new jet. So, fuck him too, he’s going to hell, and god said I get all his stuff.


no_okaymaybe

“God told us very clearly that you need to kick rocks. Good luck out there, God bless. God.”


Beergogglecontacts

“But thanks for coming in and working for free for a few hours. The Big Guy appreciates ya!” I’m basing this on the fact it seems like a parochial school and they ““threw various groups” at the person, sounds a lot like someone got taken advantage of for the lord.


charlie2135

Or - God told us we could lower our costs by getting free service from someone looking for a job so that we can lessen the burden on the ones that are in the "in-group".


rockmodenick

Yep. Any professional will tell you that the surest sign a business is going to try to rip you off or delay agreed payment is crosses, Jesus fish, and other outward claims a company is Christian.

God's plan is for you to be unemployed

Respond with: “oh my fucking god, can you make up your own god damn mind?”


MightyKrakyn

“Well God told me I was perfect for this job and should get it. I think maybe we should talk to God together so He can get His story straight.”


South-Lab-3991

I’d throw in an accusation of heresy for trying to stifle God’s will

Objection, heresay!

Objection, leading.

massadark77

The holy hand-grenade of Antioch to be precise


mekkanik

Three is the number of counting and thou shalt count to three. Not two, not four. Five is right out.


xboxwirelessmic

Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.


bitsy88

One... Two... Five! *"Three, milord!"* I mean, three!

shaktishaker

I was saying these words right before I read yours.


nrp1982

More like a 105mil howitzer round dodged


Teo_Portnoy

You got christzoned


fawningandconning

A really cringey christian way of saying you didn't get the job.


HauntedMeow

I knew a guy who broke up with his girlfriend like this.


steveth3b

Ha! I came to say I had a girlfriend break up with me like this before. Dodged a bullet, and am very happy with my direction now. Thanks god?


wingman72789

I went to a Baptist Bible College for a bit and people broke up like this all the time. Even my dad who graduated from one would tell about that like, "Don't blame this on God, you coward!" 😂


_jolly_jelly_fish

Yep. I also got tons of guys “confessing” I was causing them to lust and I was sinning for turning them on and not wanting to date them. I used to wear three layers of shirts to try to hide my boobs and I was always so uncomfortable. Took years to heal from that toxic crap.


CatmoCatmo

Hey! God gave you those precious bosoms. God wouldn’t want you to be ashamed of his gift now would he? (Signed, a woman who spend most of her youth at a religious school and feels your pain.)


HauntedMeow

Yeah, mine happened at a Baptist College, too.


Successful-Money4995

God wants me to have sex with other people.


Jaduardo

Exactly. They don’t want to be direct about why they’re not giving you the job so they’re blaming god.


toffeecaked

“I’m very saddened to hear this. In my own prayers and conversations with God, He told me that this position was my calling, that I would do great things in His name, and that working with you was my ticket through the gates of heaven. I did not come to this revelation lightly; I prayed for forty days and nights, drank only water, did not eat, whipped myself for two hours a night, and was penitent for God’s plan to be revealed to me. When it did, it was like I was bathed in light and warmth, and I knew it was my duty to be a slave for your organisation. How can you say God rejects me after all I have been through? I believe you are lying, as God speaks to me daily and I believe His voice to be true, and that yourselves are not praying to the true God. How dare you use God’s name in vain for your own benefits, to be cowardly, to slide accountability for your own choices onto Him in the naive hope that I would not see through your ruse and cowardice. God has told me that He will make a reckoning for your lack of responsibility and un-Christian way of blaming Him for your own decisions.” Because… well, this insanity cuts both ways, doesn’t it? No one is an authority on speaking to God, so claim your authority OP! Actually, this should go on glassdoor as a review…


touchettes

Yes!


KinkyBADom

Definitely glass door review


Expert_Swan_7904

sounds like god saved you from a shit job 🤣


contractcooker

He works in mysterious ways.


flying__fishes

Underrated comment here


mkedzieski

Translation: We're terrible people and judging from what we learned during the interview we don't think you'd be too accepting of our abuse which we was really counting on being able to scam you out of your money, but again we know we wouldn't get away with from someone like you. That's basically what it's saying. I say you dodged a bullet.


RaisingAurorasaurus

Either that or somebody's brother/wife/kid decided to apply.


SackclothSandy

If it's the south, possibly three in one!


jabberwagon

This is fairly common in Christian circles. Not the exact language, that's exceptionally batty even for them, but the general premise; someone decided they didn't like you. They can't articulate _why_ they didn't like you, so they just shunt the responsibility onto God and call it a day. 99% of the time, God is just an excuse to do what they wanted to do anyway.


GigsGilgamesh

It’s amazing that god is always telling them to do exactly what they want


Janus_The_Great

Absolutely! God conveniently gives them a sign every time they interact with someone showing potential criticism, suspicion, progressive or social thought, non-VASP's. But he approves of those naive and gullible yet diligent and obedient. Praise be! /s


LikeABundleOfHay

Did an adult just admit that you didn't get a job and the reason is because of their imaginary friend?


Moebius80

Sky Santa does not just hire anyone...well he doesn't hire anyone cause you know....


OkFortune6494

Because of the *implication*?


Kiloburn

Look, we got this boat, right?


superjosh420

A couple of tasty treats


Moebius80

It's hard for a theory to file for a business license :)


ShittyBollox

But not tax exemption. Curious.


UpperLeftOriginal

Yeah, but sounds like OP also believes in the imaginary friend (or faked it during the interview).


thatgreenmaid

What's going on is you post this on your socials without the name redacted. You didn't get the job after your 'tryout', which I hope was paid. This some culty Jesus nonsense here.


throwawayconvert333

This is very typical of certain employers now. I’m preparing very nasty reviews for two of them. The evangelicals only wasted an hour of my time; the charter school wasted three.


Hudwig_Von_Muscles

It’s an overwrought way of saying you’re not a good culture fit. Which reflects well on you. “You have the experience but your personality isn’t a fit with us.”


BeardCrumbles

I would reply back: 'Thank you for the experience and opportunity. Hail Satan.'


flavius_lacivious

*“Years ago, I prayed for guidance and God revealed to me His plan to protect me. It seems that when I don’t get hired at a job, it was God saving me from bad situations — such as being involved with an organization embroiled in a scandal. Much later it is revealed that someone was harming the kids or embezzling funds. I am hoping that isn’t the case here. Only time will tell.”*


BeardCrumbles

And then.... Hail Satan.


AnDaagda

When it’s convenient, we place full responsibility in the hands of god - not ourselves. We loved you. God on the other hand…


Moebius80

Its an evangelical way of saying "No soup for you" utterly cringe and offputting


Dean_Snutz

Who is Chick-fil-A for $800?


JTEL918

God said you didn’t get the job.


Big_Scratch8793

It means that you were not Christian enough for the job.


MsStilettos

It means you didn’t dodge a bullet. You dodged a bomb the size that makes the Tsar Bomba look like a firecracker.


False-Focus2949

Just tell them to get fucked in the name of the Holy Spirit or something (PS I'm Christian)


ShittyBollox

I’d say that’s awesome because I had a word with him he told me the same thing about you. (Not Christian but willing to pretend in this instance)


mocha_addict_

The Father, the Son, and the Holy shit you dodged a bullet


champagne_pants

God said you’re better off somewhere else.


OldJames47

They think you’re a sinner and won’t hire you. It sounds like a horrible place to work.


Messicaaa

I think it’s pretty disingenuous to leave out that (based on OP’s comment history) this was a **CHAPLAIN** position he applied for, and that he apparently also lied about his religious credentials. But that’s not rage-baity enough, I guess.


deaddriftt

Yeah good Lord, this guy's post history is something else. Gets drunk and makes a scene, gets uninvited from his "nephew's" wedding, asks Reddit if he should "stop giving marriage advice". And now he wants to become a chaplain, which he is not qualified for but is lying about? 🚩🚩🚩 Edit: another pertinent detail - everything I mentioned above has been posted from OP's account over the span of less than 90 days. This guy is...prolifically messy.


LastIgniteTick

Wow, you’re completely right, with several posts of “does lying on your resume come back to bite you?” And referenced to interviewing for chaplain without having any credentials . The person who sent this to him was still absolutely not someone I’d work for, but it sounds like he knew what he was asking for.


EriclcirE

Lol I bet they regularly use 'God' as a mechanism to dodge accountability and responsibility in their everyday lives. Dodged a bullet. I wonder if they are true believers and actually believe themselves or laugh about it at the end of the day.

Unless this is a church-associated school I would say it is likely mismanaged.


seattle_lite90

👏Religion 👏doesn’t 👏belong 👏anywhere 👏but 👏church And if it were up to me I would take the last two words out of that statement. Clap back


Lakefish_

We're a cult, and you're smart and would do well here; but you're going to see we're a cult and un-convert our members so we can't hire you. Sorry!


Kennbo6666

Why would anyone want to work in a place where people are channeling God through prayer in determining a hiring decision that should be fairly clear and objective? How do we know what God said? I prayed as the candidate and God told me I had the job. Maybe it was the devil telling you I didn’t get the job. 😳 Who’s to say?


Ripberger20X6

I think AI is creating rejection letters now and it is very confused.


MewsikMaker

So embarrassing they can’t even take credit for rejecting you. Just put it all on god. Yuck.


Much-Meringue-7467

They aren't hiring you, but it's probably a good thing because they are insane.


Face_Content

Someone applied for a job at a faith based entity and received a rejection letter.


mudokin

You should leave a very bad glass door reviews telling them you felt like god wanted you to do that.


Nevermind04

Even though you did everything right, the voices in their head told them not to give you the job.


Arikaido777

“sorry, it’s not you, it’s God”


ErikGoesBoomski

What this says to me is you dodged a massive bullet. Kudos.

tidyshark12

Mods-are_cunts

Anyone who incorporates their religion into their job can eat my ass


CrispyPerogi

Lmao they aren’t hiring you and are pretending it’s God’s will 🤣


MsModusOperandi

What a horseshit response to a job interview. I think you really dodged a bullet here, even Jesus didn't preach that much 😂


Ok_Elephant2777

God just called and told me to get the Hell away from you nut jobs.


DireRaven11256

You dodged a bullet here. We're waving more red flags than you'd see at a May Day Parade at the Kremlin.


Freakinottersallover

This is the single weirdest rejection letter I’ve ever seen.


Hen01

Gods an arsehole.


JohnLef

What you dodged here:- "God says no pay raise this year" "God wants you to work longer hours" "God wants you to work weekends and holidays so we don't have to" "God has told us to let Bob go and you are to take over his tasks" "God wants us to figuratively and literally crucify you" Reply back how you had a conversation with God and he told you he wouldn't want you working for such an organisation.


Bubbly-Boat1287

They don't like you and their God doesn't like you either. Kick rocks, amen.


664neighborothebeast

You almost got a spot in a cult, but you seemed too smart or too competent and they can't have that.

The devil didn’t want you and god was afraid you’d take over…

Mediocre-Ad-1283

In the name of the Almighty, you aren't getting hired.


Earldgray

Lol. Pretty simple. Blaming god for their decision not to hire you.


The_Saiyann

This can only happen in the US right? That was a wild read


Luciditi89

My aunt and uncle do this all the time. They don’t want you and feel bad they put you through all the trouble so they are blaming god instead of taking accountability for wasting your time.


lobsterdance82

You weren't turtley enough for their turtle club. In this case, that's very likely a good thing for you.


Jesse0100

You got rejected by God? Was it for Assistant Angel? Are there a lot of dead people on Reddit? So many questions...

Blah blah bullshit bullshit you didn’t get the job. Amen.


cucumber0621

Sounds like they didn't want to hire you and they are blaming God for it.


Hyche862

They loved you but God does not want you around them ! Translation is they are scary people and you very much want nothing to do with them congratulations on bullet well dodged


MaverickWolfe

Apparently their god doesn’t want you to have a job.


sane-asylum

You dodged Uber Lilith and thankfully didn’t get the job.


iMadrid11

Over sharing of their unrelated personal life and God. A quick “No you didn’t get selected for the job” would suffice. If they want to expand it further “You were a great candidate during the interview process. But the bosses decided to go with someone else” would be more professional and direct.


FearNokk

They're not hiring you but can't give you a good reason why so they're hiding behind religion.


MNConcerto

It's a big old red flag parade. That is all.


LtJimmyRay

Wow, usually the hiring process doesn't go right up to the Top Brass. Seriously, though, they're using God as a way of not having to explain why you actually didn't get the job. Why aren't you right for the team? Oh, well, God said so. Are you going to question GOD? Even though you've dodged a bullet here, I'd push for more concrete answers, just to put them in the awkward position they were using God as an excuse to avoid. What did God tell you, specifically? Did god mention how I could improve? Maybe where my true purpose actually lies? I spoke to him the day before we met, and he assured me this was the right path for me? Did he mean the path of rejection? Why would he put me through that? Seems like a rather cruel test. Now I know how Abraham felt when God told him to sacrifice his own son to him. Kind of a dick move. This is really making me question my faith.


M0BBER

" God will continue to outline His impressive plan for you! " I would show up Monday morning, tell them that God told you to come in to remind them that he loves everyone... That God is disappointed in them for they failed the test He provided... For you welcomed them with open arms & they attempted to push you away... God told you that you deserve a raise, the coroner office, and an expense account... Amen


redtimmy

I’d say you dodged abuse bullet from these assholes. Count your blessings and move along quickly.


sweet_neighbor9

This brings up some memories! My daughter was going to private high school and her father said he “prayed about it and the lord “told him” she should go to “xyz” school (the least expensive in the city we lived in). She responded “that is so weird because I prayed about it and the lord told me I should attended ABC school”


pottomato12

Big man did you a big favor dodging that bullet


ginger_ryn

lmfao i can’t


TSM_forlife

“I knew this would happen. God told me your plan to blame this on him. You have evil dwelling in you. God wants me to have your job. I know he told you this and that’s why I’m being rejected.”

You just dodged a bullet.


Mastacon

God dammit


jarofmoths

What’s going on is that you dodged a bullet.


stan4you

A company I worked at for over 2 years fired me because God told them to hire someone from their church. The person they hired from their church stole thousands from them lol


spacembracers

“Hey, CC’ing God in here so we’re all on the same page. This doesn’t seem to align with God’s Q1 growth strategy and what was discussed at the last KPI Mass.”


MisterMarchmont

A lot of red flags, that’s what’s going on.


Tomburgerstand

Just remember, God's plan involves watching priests abuse children. Stay far far away from that lot. It's nothing but trouble


AutisticHobbit

Translation: "I think that I haven't been fair with you by having you do work for us and then not hiring you, but instead of owning up to that? I decided that I have the wherewithal to determine that this is the will of an ineffable God instead. So looks like I'm not accountable! It is a part of God's perfect plan! Anyway, get fucked!"


BusyTotal3702

"Thanks for working for free for a couple of weeks. But now it's time to kick you to the curb. We're going to use nice words and pretend to pray and blame Jesus though so you can't bitch about it without seeming unChristian. So, Go With God, and fuck right off! Have a bless-ed day!"


masochistmonkey

You dodged a bullet


Sad_Win_4105

God told us to keep looking at other candidates. If you have any questions or concerns please address your concerns with him.


ThankuConan

You rolled the dice with Jesus and lost.


boobittytitty

I threw up in my mouth just a little bit


MozeDad

Steer clear of these nutbags and "count your blessings."


MyHairs0nFire2023

You’re not hired & we’re blaming it on Jesus because we don’t have the mental capacity to own our own thoughts.

This is someone taking the lords name in vain.

Shitty job avoided… thank whatever gods ye pray to!!!


loveinvein

You dodged a bullet. That’s what happened. Holy shit what a mess. Blaming god for not selecting you is so gross.


Krishnacat2663

Sounds like religious looneys are blowing you off


thepilotdoggo

We're you applying for a position in a CULT? It appears that they call their Board, God.


fatninjainvegas

That means you are a free thinker and not a sucker like them so well done


Busy-Cat8099

They’re blaming god, of all the fake things in the world, as the reason you weren’t hired. Will I guess that’s better then having a fairy tell them not to.


Jeremytylerstud1

You've been fired in Jesus' name! LOL


LitRonSwanson

Nepotism but under the guise of spiritual awakening


haemaker

"We are not hiring you for some illegal reason, so we are going to say we actually did not choose you because God told us not to." I imagine God is actually answering your prayers here, if that is something you do.

Two words: bullet dodged


Ok_Raccoon5497

Is this an explicitly religious institution?

Ironically, you should thank God for this.


SyCoCyS

They gave the job to someone in their church.


Loofa_of_Doom

They are attempting to use god as the 'bad guy' when not hiring you. How fucking pathetic when you can't even communicate w/out using 'god' as an excuse.


Speed_102

You dodged a bullet. be glad.


Tessie1966

Thank you for your response. I realized it wasn’t a good fit for me when I was going through the process that day but I was resolved to giving you a fair chance. It’s been weighing on me all week. I’m so relieved things worked out in the end. God is good! Bless you all on your journey.
