Religion has been used as an excuse for a very long time. That’s not to say that all manipulation is wrong; for instance, heart surgery patients who fervently prayed to a “higher power” and worked on their belief ended up having a survival rate three times higher than those who didn’t.
But then there are folks like this teacher/TikToker’s former Principal, who use God as a means of what sounds like them justifying their personal retaliatory attacks against others, aka, doing crumby things in the Lord’s name.
Cassidy Elise (@cassidyeliseco) posted a viral TikTok where she talks about her experience in working for a “mission” based religious institution, enthusiastically stating how much she loved her job, even if she wasn’t in love with the pay.
So, after two years of working with the school, she brought up in her year-end review that she would like to receive more money, but ultimately decided to sign her contract and continue teaching there.
