That's what you think. Actually, it's the perfect way to force something on someone. Ever trained a dog? Commandment .. snack ... commandment .. snack ...

So you equate the intellect of humans to that of dogs?

Why, have you been trained differently?

You may have been trained as a dog, but I wasn't. I used my brain to decide what to believe, as do most humans.

we just didnt see it when we came in


second point you hit and i was gonna bring up was , this wouldnt fly on the left, and east coast , it hit me when i was driving home last night...wouldnt fly at all

What really surprised me about Hobby Lobby is that they don't have a store in West Virginia. Most folks I know from there (including numerous relatives) are very religious.

Perhaps you're still a moldable lump of clay, but I am not. Perhaps you equate your existence to that of a dog, but I do not.

If you don't want to go to a place like that, for whatever reason, don't. But if they have good food, I couldn't give a fuck what's written on the tables or what signs are on the walls...

How could it be "forced" if someone is there volentarily and free to leave and eat elsewhere whenever they want?

Kids?

If parents don't want children exposed to the religion in the restaurant, they simply won't take them there.

Perhaps you could stop with the insults already.

I could, though. I would go in there once, take a look around and then bolt.

The businesses have a right to do as they please on this one, but it's stupid as hell neverthless ...

What about them?
To the best of my knowledge, restaurants don't even force kids to come inside or forcibly keep them there if they should wander in.

Perhaps you could fucking pay attention and see that I wasn't the one who equated "training" an adult human to training a dog...

That's because you're deathly afraid of anything that's different from you or what you believe...

And, yet, they remain in business...

No, but parents can force kids to eat there. Just like they can and do force religion down childrens throats in many other ways...

I wonder what happened if I started a my own franchise KKK Chicken - white meat for white people. Guess "whatever theme I want" for a business doesn't count then huh?

So the problem is with the parents, not the store.
Parents can force their kids to experience certain points of view on religion (not to mention politics and morality)!

Or should no business ever express any point of view on religion, politics, morality or whatever just because some parent might force their child to be within the confines of the building and thus "force" that perspective "down their kids throats"?

No, I think you can still have whatever theme you want, even if its a KKK themed restaurant (though I bet you'd go out of business real fast).

Now if you started mistreating black people or Jews in your restaurant, that would be another matter. Just as it would be another matter if the restaurant in this thread started mistreating non-Christians.
But you can put whatever you darn well please on the walls...provided you don't violate a health ordinance, of course

Honestly, it sounds like some people are actually upset because there's this restaurant out there that actually has religiously themed material on the walls. Why should any of us care what some burger guy in TN puts up in his own store?
