Unbelievable. Most of the people I know are Christians. Everyone in my family is a Christian. None of them would support this display of hatred. It is about as un-Christian as it gets. Parts of this nation have gone insane.

Paul tells Christians not to judge nonChristians, and what do the homophobe "Christians" do? Judge nonChristians.

It's almost as if their Christianity -- filled as it is with hate and judgment -- is contrary to the gospel.

Did they know the waiter or was he wearing his "I suck dicks" button on his uniform or something?

Kinda curious where they came to the conclusion that he was gay.

What begs saying here is that every day across the United States, millions of times every day, dumb, ugly crap like this doesn't happen. :roll:

So what you're saying is that when it does happen, people should just look the other way and ignore it????

You only wear that after labor day.
 
Re: Christians refuse to tip waiter because ‘homosexual lifestyle is an affront to Go

Back in the day (1999 or so, when throwing easy money around wasn't anything unusual in the red-hot boomtown of Cambridge, MA), I was served my beers at an Irish pub on Mass Av by a pretty girl wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt. So, I give her my 15% tip, and say: "It would be 10 times more, if you had the face of Friedrich Hayek here". Well, what do you know - next Friday, there she is, with a Hayek shirt AND an "I heart Robert Nozick" badge. There was no way out. Damn those MIT geek moonlighting as waitresses.

This is an example of how people practice and use religion in completely the wrong way, 180 degrees out of sink.

Oh well mentally retarded bigot morons exists, unfortunately this isn't anything new.
 
Re: Christians refuse to tip waiter because ‘homosexual lifestyle is an affront to Go


How did they know he was gay in the first place? I missed that...

Waiters, if you are a dead soldier, gay, or have ever been a vocalist for Black Sabbath, forget about it, you are not getting a tip from the Phelps party.

That's just embarrassing.

I only wish some real Christians had witnessed the theft and offered to pay for the services those false ones admittedly, and gladly received - calling it "excellent service," yet services for which they refused to pay.

Christian or not, there is a certain percentage of jerks in the world. They take some kind of perverse pleasure in being abusive. But this is a minority - what about the millions of Christians (or similar) that do good deeds all the time, put their lives at risk to help others who suffer or simply get along and aren't judgemental?

BTW I'm not even slightly religious myself but I respect those who are as long as they are kind and decent.
 
Re: Christians refuse to tip waiter because ‘homosexual lifestyle is an affront to Go

I heard a joke on the radio the other day, following a true story about someone who drove into a fast food drive up and offered to pay for the meal of the vehicle behind them. The DJ said "I always offer to pay for the vehicle in front of me, but there are never any takers."

You're right though - jerks exist everywhere. It's just disconcerting when those jerks claim to represent something that is supposed to be just the opposite.
 
Re: Christians refuse to tip waiter because ‘homosexual lifestyle is an affront to Go


There is no shortage of utterly ignorant people in this world - I have no idea how the minds of some people work, and I don't want to know. Just makes me, personally, want to be even more generous with my time and money and reward people, particularly young people, for their actions not for who they are or who I may think they are. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that at least one of this group of "Christians" was gay him/herself - all the more shame for their behaviour.

I agree, i know i would have if i was there!
 
Re: Christians refuse to tip waiter because ‘homosexual lifestyle is an affront to Go

If they were a group was the gratuity not automatic?

I don't agree with their choice but tipping is not mandatory last time I checked.

This. They're assholes, but they're not thieves.

edit: I hope the restaurant refuses to serve them in the future-- but being a corporate chain, I suspect this is unlikely.

True, tipping is not mandatory, but being a decent human being should be. A 19 year old does not need to be treated in this manner by anyone.
 
Re: Christians refuse to tip waiter because ‘homosexual lifestyle is an affront to Go

How did they know he was gay?

Im pretty sure if i was a waiter and i wore a pin saying "Bush was the best president ever"
It would effect my tips. Or if i openly talked politics in the presence of a table that clearly didn't share my views.

I generally don't know the sexual orientation of my waiters unless they choose to tell me about it.

Personally my tips depend solely on the quality of service.
