Is it okay if just Christians get the discount?

Not sure what the comment above accomplishes, it adds nothing to the conversation and is distracting to those who are interested in exchanging opinions.

The coupon is the owner's choice. He is free to offer whatever discount to whomever he wants just as the customers are free to take advantage of it or take their partonage elsewhere.

The title of the thread is a little misleading ....it doesn't say you have to be a christian...just quote the passage. Anyone can look it up and quote it if they want the discount ...or go somewhere else if the whole idea offends them. No big deal.

It is a private company. Preferrential treatment is totally perfect and legal.
Shop elswhere? Maybe that is the company's point. They are making it clear that they do not want or need your business.

I don't see it as any different from a company advertising "Mention 285Bound for a 10 percent discount...."

Really? who has done that? I don't see anyone, anywhere, not here not in the media, granting greater tolerance to muslim terrorists that want to kill us than to terrorists......or have you been reading those Iranian message boards again?

It appears Trouble has drawn out the big dogs.

And you're splicing together two of her posts, from two different threads, to make it look like she's saying something that she's really not. Here's what CG already said in this thread:

However, why would you? When I was in retail Christmas was about 50% of our sales for the year. (You would be surprised to know this ran into January too)
Anyway, I never talked about Christmas. I instructed my employees to use "Happy Holidays" because I wanted to stay neutral for my businesses sake and not turn anyone off.
I think he is cutting his business for the sake of religion. Lots of people do it so, feel free. There are lots of oil and lube places so if it were me I would stay away because most likely he will only work hard for me if he knows I am a Christian. Just seems stupid to mix them up.

What you quoted Trouble,

from another thread, is about something entirely different - trolling - but then again, you knew that didn't you?

SC, we are all good. I have no problem answering her and Archer.

First to Archer, I was (again) just coming up with a question for the subject line just for fun. It was not a statement. If you notice I do that alot. I research interesting stories and post them for everyone else to discuss and if I have the time I will add my opinion if I have one. But mostly I do it for the site I do not have an opinion on everything I post but I like to think I know alot about what the people on this site like to talk about. So I was not trying to mislead anyone. I thought it was interesting anyway. If you are not liking the subject line let me know but it appears you were fine with responding. Subject lines can be general, happens all the time.

Trouble. This was not a double standard and you know it. I do not make my opinions based on party lines. IMO, what made that offensive was the assumptions. You cannot say all Muslims are what was posted on that thread. I do not like generalities about Muslims. WE ARE AMERICA and we should never tell anyone that they are not allowed in our country because of what others have done. I have no problem with religion either. I was talking about my business and if people want to cut out a particular group from buying from them do it. After this, if you have something to say to me.... feel free to post over there I will be glad to go at it. Make my day.

And that is just a smart business decision. While I can't quote scripture nor care to, I have no problem with this one way or another. I do not feel he is cramming anything down my throat since I do have the choice of shopping elsewhere. If that makes him or her happy, fine with me. Go ahead, have a great day.
