I’ve seen them passed out to churches — even places I’d never go.
Just say you also put one in the atheist bulletins :)
Too bad he backed down......
But he should be free from governmental consequences, i.e., lawsuits. The Amendments are about what government can’t interfere with. One’s fellow citizens have the right to peacefully protest and to not spend their money where they don’t agree with the owner’s policies. Those are the only consequences that a owner should have to factor into how he runs his business.
It used to be fairly common. I remember there was a burger chain (Burger King ?) that made this a regular offering in the ‘70’s but am always surprised when anyone is stupid enough to try it today.
I read where at least one of the bakeries gladly served them as customers for regular stuff. As you say - it was the inscription (and purpose) of the cake.
That whole “civil rights” thing sure had a lot of unintended (?) consequences. Obviously I can see that government has to be blind to color, religion, etc.
But if some business in the south wants to keep half (or more) of the customers in their area out of the store, that should be their worry.
Same for veterans discounts. Or how about the the medical cost sharing organizations that require religious affiliation?
we get military discounts at Lowes and Homo Depot. what about that??? Draft dodgers unite!!
We used to go to a restaurant in SoCal that gave a discount with a church bulletin for that Sunday’s service. It seemed like a nice idea; we took advantage of it often.
Companies give discounts to all sorts of people including the military without a word. Why is this any different?
“Well they can go to Hell!”.
I expect that’s what will happen.
Freedom from Religion Foundation, doing Satan’s work since 1978.
Is the senior discount still ok? Student discount? Ladies day discount? Military discount? Etc., etc.?
Tough. Get used to it.
It’s a free country.
If someone offered 10% off to flaming homosexuals, the left would think it’s a great idea.
The left is all and only about control.
They CANNOT stand the thought that someone might do something they don’t approve of.
Or senior citizens discounts?
The place I get donuts from will throw in some extras if your buying for church. I don’t buy a lot of donuts, but just knowing they do that makes me loyal to them.
How about “Show us your CCW, get 10% discount”.
Kids get stuff for “A”s on report cards, what about the dumb kids ???
