When? Oh when will we ever learn that atheist do no not like discounts? Yet, here we are again, bring in a Church bulletin for a 10% discount... Praise the Lord!

How long before silver jumps in saying this is religious discrimination, but that senior citizen discounts are just showing respect for old people?

I have no doubts that silver and others will join in to not only bash Fox News but the Messenger as well and accuse me of shoving religion down their throats. The debate should be on the Constitution and the rights of business owners to offer what ever discounts as well as other perks to bring in more business.

I didn't want to go to Fox News or to The Blaze for the story but I could not find an atheist site that has reported the story. Any one is welcome to present the atheist views if there are any.

One of our local ice cream parlors offers a discount if you show them a movie ticket stub. Nice idea in my opinion.

I wish some of these people/businesses would not cave in to these idiot groups, Atheists as well as sometimes ACLU. A good court fight would often put them right back in their place.

I doubt atheists would object to a discount if it was specifically for atheists. It doesn't bother me a bit if someone does not believe as I do. That is the freedom our nation is built upon. But I always wonder why non believers can't just not believe.

Ask yourself if the Non Believers are not a close kin of Larry Payne and Whole2th.... They find it absolutely impossible to accept others beliefs (on anything)

Because for some of them, Atheism becomes a "religion", in and of itself, and like fundamentalists of other faiths, they try to impose their way on non believers

I do not care if anyone on the planet accepts my beliefs on anything. All I really care about and expect is that they accept it is my right to believe as I wish.

Our church gives out military challenge coins to every military person we happen to see in public. We never ask if they are atheists, we assume they could decline receiving a coin.

Maybe we should start a rumor with AARP that someone is going to sue a business for giving out senior discounts. After all, that is age discrimination, and I take that discount every chance I can.

I don't see what the problem is, the sign does not say you have to be a Christian, only that you need to bring in a church bulletin. Anyone can go to a church and get a bulletin, they usually stack them by the door. I don't think those liberals have a leg to stand on.

As for Silver, if I were to meet him in person, and he were to tell me to check my privilege, now there would be an event worth seeing.

Apparently many atheists care or their organization would not have brought it up. There is always somebody claiming someone else is getting more of something or that they are being left out. It is usually left up to 12 year old kids but apparently not in this case.
