Guys,
Some great SF nicknames on this thread were Super Jew, Buddha, and Little Jesus--which some of y'all may recall. However, there were no religious issues associated with any of them. I knew Christians who wore a Buddha or two or more as either decoration or...hmmm...the easy answer would be for local custom and acceptance. I only know of three instances of religious beliefs causing problems amongst us as a team:
-A young medic who was a devout Mormon going off on a bunch of animists being trained by a team and resulting in their having to be recalled from an MTT
-A CSM who got religion and kept a "secret" book in his desk drawer on the exploits of any of us who were less Christian in his eyes; some guys ran afoul of him and his f'in book
-An ODA XO who was a super-conservative Baptist and never melded with our team; I never saw the guy smile, either, and as the medic diagnosed him as having an incurable case of CORDS (cranial optic rectal diarrheal syndrome)--having his head lodged so firmly in his ass that it gave him a perpetually shitty outlook on life.
For the remainder of the guys I knew in SF, religion was a non-issue. Hell, how can you fault a guy's beliefs if he's an animist...or whatever...yet one of the kindest souls you'll ever meet and is willing to lay down his life for you?
