Restaurant refuses service to Christian group, citing staff ‘dignity’

[Adeptus Astartes]

To an Alien or a Chinese man for example the KKK and the Panthers are probably the same thing.

I’m a Black Alien when it comes to your restaurant fags and the racists. Both are hypocritical in their refusal to extent kindness to one another.

Get it?

You're not an alien though. You exist in the system that these groups operate in. Only one of these groups is fighting to be able to legally discriminate. Legal discrimination has, and likely will, affect Black folk. Refusing to serve those who are fighting to legally refuse service is not hypocritical.

I’ve got a question though

Racism and discrimination is anti Christian, you can’t be a Christian practicing sun and bad deeds, so


Why do you say Christianity is launching an assault on womens rights when that is anti Christian? Wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume that it’s not Christians doing that and just another group using Christianity as a cover?



Like if for example, white people made themselves look like green people who don’t believe in killing, and went around killing people

It’s not the green people killing, it’s white people, they’re just under cover

Is it anti Christian? Like Slavery was literally a good thing in the Christian bible at one point man.

It’s anti gay but it doesn’t say go persecute people like that, it just says don’t be gay. As a Christian you can’t FORCE anyone to do anything, you can try to influence someone sure but that’s like a default of social groups in general.

That's great in theory but in practice why do millions of Christians oppress those people and actively try and fukk up their lives? What the hell is going on in the church that has perverted a message of "hey don't do this" to "Hey fukk up the people who do this"

You’re telling me that if God says something is wrong in your society and that will imperil souls for an eternity, that your religion doesn’t compel you to uphold the word of God?

TLDR

intolerance of intolerance isn't intolerance

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

No. The overturning of the ruling is.

If what I'm saying isn't clear, you could just ask me to explain instead of assuming my meaning to create a strawman.​

Your reasoning has become postmodern itself, as it’s not coherent or in line with what postmodernism actually is…which is ironically postmodernist.

I guess you’re a postmodernist

 

[ExodusNirvana]

I don't know about that, because this statement makes white oppression of minorities and lgbtq folks seem accidental, which it is not

It's not accidental at all...it just is what it is

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Your reasoning has become postmodern itself, as it’s not coherent or in line with what postmodernism actually is

That's your opinion.

See how it works?

'Truth' is relative.​

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

The slippery slope is real.

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

That's your opinion.

See how it works?

'Truth' is relative.​

Again, it’s ironic because you’re actually postmodern.

American conservatives are not postmodern. They believe in absolute rights/wrongs. No pluralism of thought, like you’re espousing

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Atheists are a hate group more than Christians. You guys stay whining and crying all day when nobody even brings you up.

Christianity is the leader in hate in America.
People use it as a base for their prejudices

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Again, it’s ironic because you’re actually postmodern.

The actual irony is that I will submit to authorities on subjects rather than my own experience/feelings.

Postmodernists do the opposite.

I also believe 'objective truth' exists. Not in just logical or mathematical reasoning.

Now, are we done arguing this strawman you created?​

It’s anti gay but it doesn’t say go persecute people like that, it just says don’t be gay. As a Christian you can’t FORCE anyone to do anything, you can try to influence someone sure but that’s like a default of social groups in general.

The bible literally says in Leviticus that if two guys are sleeping together, that they're committing an abomination and should be killed

You brought more clarity to this for me. I can admit when I learn something new.

A restaurant is not associating itself simply by feeding people for money, unless they are advertising this event on their behalf. It’s not like they are sponsoring them or letting them use the space for free. However, I don’t know what type of event this was, but if they were in fact planning on putting up signage and things like that, then I’d be understanding. If this was an intimate gathering like a luncheon or holiday dinner or something, then this doesn’t make sense to me. For example, my job has holiday parties and often times rents out a restaurant. I’m sure they book it under the name of the company, but if you just walked in on the party you’d have no idea who it’s for or what we do. It’s just a holiday party. And that restaurant isn’t “associating” itself with us just because they let us have the party there. They don’t know us from Adam’s house cat, unless they were already knowledgeable about the company

The group, the Family Foundation, was set to host a dessert reception for supporters on Nov. 30, the group’s president, Victoria Cobb, wrote in a blog post describing the incident.

I mean the article clearly states that the event was for "supporters", meaning it wasn't even only for people from the organization, but for people who support it, as in align with their politics. And you can't really compare it with your company, because this is a religious group that openly advertises their political stance on a whole group of people and women issues. Does your company have public positions they hold on a whole group of people or women issues on their website?
