The sign outside Town and Country Lanes in Keizer, Oregon, read, Judges making decisions contrary to the word of God will they themselves be judged, reports local station KATU. But by the time the news stations reporter arrived at the scene Wednesday, the sign had been changed.

People outraged by the sign went to Town and Countrys Facebook review page to put in their own two cents.
For such bible thumpers, I find it strange that they have poker machines in the facility, wrote Amanda Baker. Oh no wait, that brings them profit so who cares right. No, I care because the crack heads who spend their money are addicts and thieves and just not very Godly. I guess in todays society, you get to pick and choose what sins are ok or not.
Thanks for posting your support of inequality, wrote Sam Novak. Saves you the trouble and expense of buying a white hood.
Glenda Beckintard chimed in with, I hope their business tanks because they think they should play the role of God, which I doubt he appreciates!
Come for the dirty bathrooms and depressing ambiance. Stay for the bigotry and to stand with the owner on the wrong side of history, Andrew Smith added.
A shitty bowling alley full of sanctimonious charlatans living in a very small bowling bubble. A side of Jesus comes with the nachos, Curt Struebin wrote.
An employee wrote on the review page that its the staff taking the heat for the owners sign choice.
Weve been cussed at since weve walked in this is so wrong!!!, she wrote. Later, she added, Look this is exactly what I was talking about. Every employee is dealing with backlash. That owner doesnt stand at the counter how unfair to his employees.

"Town and Country employees support the gay right movement please don't think we're being judgmental we are sorry"
"The sign has been removed this is horrible"

It's hard to imagine such a person qualifies for a lottery license, his business announces that it is not in fact open to the entire public. Those who discriminate should not get to profit from State programs.
