#3In this article, the author doesn't provide any concrete example of the religious discrimination that he's allegedly experienced, or how it's impacted him in any way. It seems that he's very eager to play the victim.
A good example of his rush to victimhood is when he tells how he confronted leadership about why Google hasn't opened an engineering office in Louisiana. He seems to take the fact that Google doesn't have a office there as proof of their anti-Southern, anti-Christian bias. It's all very far-fetched.

Yeah. I'm open to believing there's more religious discrimination at Google -- and I have no trouble believing that being very Christian could make you a bit of a social pariah within the company -- but the lack of concrete examples is concerning.
In the US, it's very common for right-wing Christians to exaggerate claims of religious discrimination. For example, many consider not allowing public school teachers/coaches to lead prayer in schools to be religious discrimination.

So it sounds like they think Google's chatbot is sentient?
...okay.

#8This is funny to me as someone who participates in Christians @ Google and weekly prayer. The few coworkers outside of that who know of my faith are very accepting.
I have never personally experienced any kind of discrimination, but perhaps I could have if I had different teammates.

Let me replace the word religious with racial:
"In this article, the author doesn't provide any concrete example of the racial discrimination that he's allegedly experienced, or how it's impacted him in any way. It seems that he's very eager to play the victim."
Sounds familiar now doesn't it? Claims like that have been dismissed for decades. Don't be so quick to get on the dismissal train.

#10> Mysticism within the Abrahamic religions should not be such a strange thing to encounter that people would literally question my sanity for holding such beliefs
I think the author misses how rare it is to find highly educated, rational people who literally think they can talk to God. For most Google engineers, talking to the author would be the first time they encounter a person like that.
