“Prayer Discount”

Earlier this month, the news of a restaurant in Winston-Salem, NC offering Prayer Discount went viral. You get a 15% off your check if you said grace before your meal. Many were in support of their practice. However, there was just as many in disagreement, calling it discrimination.

Sadly, Mary’s Gourmet Diner has now discontinued the four year policy, claiming they have been threatened by a lawsuit. Apparently, the atheists at the Freedom From Religion Foundation got offended. They claim that is illegal to “charge an atheist more than a Christian."

Many restaurants and chains give discounts to seniors, military, students, single mothers, and even those with well-behaved children. Can a drop-out sue a business for not getting a student discount?

Hmmmm…
