Cynthia Fernandez says she wasn't doing anything wrong. She says she was just offering a polite gesture from her Christian faith. She would tell drivers "God bless", and not when they sneezed. Just all the time. Her boss asked her to stop. Now it's making news, and I know what most people will say. "What's wrong with trying to wish people well?" "What's wrong with someone exercising their religious beliefs?"

These same people would have a meltdown if a different toll collector exercised their different belief by saying "Allah is great" to passing drivers. Or an atheist toll collector expressing their view by telling a Parkway patron to "have a Godless day." They'd call for immediate firings. Believe what you want, but there's a time and a place and not everyone thinks like you think. Not every random thought and belief has to be expressed on the job to total strangers.
