Reply #176: sure, if I give things only to people named mary [View All]

then certainly muslims don't have a shot, right? or asians?

why are you so obsessed with this? why is it worse, ethically, to give something to people who went to church, and not to do it to people who speak french? or Latin? or, in an aformentioned example, people who voted? Is the Macy's early bird special on friday night discriminatory towards jews and muslims? since they can't take advantage of that? what about my local movie theatre that has really cheap movies on sunday mornings, discriminatory towards christians who are in church? Heck, anyone who does anything only on a saturday is discriminating against observant Jews, right? how far are you willing to take this? is a solstice sale discriminatory towards Wiccans who may be otherwise occupied that day? Does DU discriminate against the Amish, who don't have access to the site, based on their religion? how dare you participate in such a thing!

so walk into the store, hand them a program from your local secular humanist meeting and see if you get the discount. if not, they are discriminating. but if so, please report back that they are, in fact, simply marketing. or does that discriminate against people who go to meetings?
