well the Bible never said anything about praying in greasy spoon diners, so as long as I'm praying in public there I should be ok

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;45592386]You can't sue them really unless they're on an interstate or something which was used to classify it as an "interstate commerce" issue during the civil rights era
But I wouldn't say someone's a fuckass for being annoyed that they're being punished for not being the majority religion[/QUOTE]
You might not be able to sue federally, but there's state laws too. I'd think you could sue under that.
You can be annoyed, I just feel that a lawsuit is disproportionate response.
[QUOTE=Explosions;45592039]I wonder if they would offer this deal to a Muslim who prayed in the diner.[/QUOTE]
In Britain we pay Muslims to come and eat our food, never mind a discount!
Nah but even though I don't have a religion I'd probably do this just for the discount, why not?
Always something new happening in my home state.

[QUOTE=Elfy;45592419]If I went there, I would get a prayer mat out and start doing a Muslim prayer.
Just watch their faces.[/QUOTE]
This discount is not exclusive to Christians. I remember reading on a different source (I will try t find it) that it is more about being thankful than what your beliefs are.

[quote=other source]Haugland emphasizes that it’s not about religion, it’s about being thankful.
“A lot of people on the internet right now have a lot of negative things to say about it. It’s Christian, or it’s this, or it’s that. It’s not. It’s just an attitude of gratitude,” says Haugland[/quote]
Doesn't anything technically count as praying.
