- I was going to ask whether all Christians act as you do, but since I'm a
- Catholic, which I guess makes me a Christian, I'm not going to. Please
- re-read your article and tell me it's not full of sarcasm and spite. I
- can't believe you're using your god to further your own personal interest
- at the expense of others, the vendor, the word hypocrite comes to mind.
- Do you really feel that what you did was fair & equitable because your
- god "heard" you? I dare differ. But if you insist, try pulling that stunt
- a few more times with the same vendor and let me know how it goes. Or
- better yet, ask yourself if you can keep doing what you did and still
- feel good about it. If you answer yes then I'm sorry for wasting your
- time, and mine.
