Today in "Christian" Love

This is quite possibly one of the more outrageous stories I've run across about so-called "Christians" -- you know, the ones whose "Christianity" is firmly grounded in Leviticus.

A 20-year-old waiter provided exemplary service at an Overland Park Italian restaurant, but his anti-gay customers refused to tip him because of his sexual orientation. . . .

The man works at the Carrabba's Italian Grill near 107th Street and Metcalf Avenue. His mother also works as a hostess and she was very upset by what was written on the back of the check earlier this week after he waited on a couple.

"Thank you for your service, it was excellent. That being said, we cannot in good conscience tip you, for your homosexual lifestyle is an affront to GOD. (Homosexual slur) do not share in the wealth of GOD, and you will not share in ours," the customer wrote. "We hope you will see the tip your (homosexual slur) choices made you lose out on, and plan accordingly. It is never too late for GOD's love, but none shall be spared for (homosexual slur). May GOD have mercy on you."

I suppose they think they're being gracious for thanking him.

I think the only appropriate response to them is "Mene, mene, tekel upharsin."

The incident has gone viral over social media, and the server has gotten overwhelming support from the community -- and from total strangers. As for the couple:

"This does not represent Christianity. I called them Pharisees," [Dr. Marvin Baker] said. "God really loves us. And God does not advertise or promote hate. That is not love."

Something to keep in mind the next time you hear some "Christian" hate-group leader claiming to "love homosexuals."
