       It’s not manly to cut up others at the potential damage of relationships. I have also witnessed bullying among Christians in the form of sales. We know salespeople can be high pressure at times. Personally, I don’t think it’s ever appropriate for the Christian salesperson to be ‘high pressure.’ I need time to think, as do others, and the Bible calls us to have patience. Most of the time, I don’t make any decision fast. I take my time to think about it. As a matter of fact, I had a Christian working personally for me on a certain project, and he just became too pushy about the business. So, what did I do? Well, I fired him of course. I don’t care how good of a reputation he had had, for me he was too pushy, and he ended up not getting any more of my business as a result. I am a firm believer in that the more a group jokes, the more something is wrong. There shouldn’t be a need for excessive joking, even good natured joking. If you’re part of a Bible study that is full of joking, then something is wrong.
