A devout Christian lab worker at MIT, machinist Mark A. Peterson, has filed a lawsuit contending that supervisors failed to stop a 15-year campaign of harassment and ridicule against his religious beliefs, but instead joined in "'openly telling jokes about God.'" J.M. Lawrence of The Boston Herald reports on the complaints listed in the lawsuit, which include co-workers wearing phony clerical collars, calling Peterson "Jesus," blasting Rolling Stones' songs at him, making verbal threats and stealing his property. Lawrence can't resist his own jibe though, noting the lawsuit's incorrect listing of the Stones' song in question as "Symphony for the Devil."
