Man Demands Refund After Seeing Buddha Imagery At Chinese Restaurant Because He's Christian

[edbermac]

A man turned a lunch trip into a religious protest after he spotted imagery in the restaurant that did not align with his beliefs. He then demanded a refund on his food order for all of his troubles, but many people disagree with his proclamations.

A video posted to the subreddit, "r/PublicFreakouts" depicts a male customer in a Chinese restaurant picking up a food order. However, after he allegedly spotted a statue of Buddha, an Asian spiritual master associated with the Buddhism religion, he demanded a refund since Buddhist beliefs go against his beliefs as a Christian.

The incident took place in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the Rose Garden Chinese restaurant.

In the video, the man and a little boy who is presumed to be his son stand off to the side of the counter and he can be heard arguing with other customers and restaurant staff after asking for a refund.

They’re getting nuttier by the minute.

[TheBlackAdder]

1. Hit the road, chump! You knew where you were going. Next, he'll complain about a Jewish Deli.

[comradebillyboy]

11. Albuquerque could use a good Jewish deli.

[TheBlackAdder]

13. Every city and town should have one.

[cloudbase]

78. I've got a sister in Albuquerque.

I occasionally send her a CARE package from Kenny and Ziggy's here in Houston. I do that for my brother in Mobile as well. Some cities are (unfortunately) deli deserts.

[orleans]

52. saw this reply on reddit:

How dare you remind me of any religion that's not my own! Can't you see I'm Christianing over here!

[ShazzieB]

109. LOLOLOL!!!!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

149. Perfect!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

75. I bet Jesus would have enjoyed a good Jewish deli.

Maybe he did.

But he probably never ate at a Chinese restaurant.

This is a deep theological issue, and somehow it's making me hungry.

[dflprincess]

86. But had there been a Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood

I'm sure he would have liked it. With or without a Buddha statue.

[TheBlackAdder]

94. He looks to be scamming for a free meal. He wants to be refunded 'for his troubles'

.

Not refunded to cancel the order.

.

[RocRizzo55]

150. Exactly my thought

[RVN VET71]

129. There's enough similarity in the ethics taught by the Buddha and by Christ

that there has been speculation on whether Jesus visited India during his "lost years" before he began preaching in Israel.

Buddha preceded Christ by several centuries and Christ, had he traveled to India, would have had ample occasions to explore Buddhism and Buddhist teachings.

But how far the words of Jesus faded have into the background, crowded out by bigotry and smug, narrow minded intolerance is exemplified by the dolt in this chinese restaurant.

[usonian]

139. About the same time the Lotus Sutra was compiled.

Interesting.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

144. No need to travel

300 years before the demigod was born, the troops of Alexander the Great returning from India after his death brought knowledge of Buddhism with them. Some of them had become converts themselves, and, though small in number, they were quite well-known. Some of the Greco-Bactrian rulers who had been affiliated with became Buddhist as well under the conversion campaign of Ashoka. The Bactrian area constitutes parts of modern India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan. Many of these kingdoms were quite prosperous, and thus influential far beyond their borders.

Silk Road trade with the Greco-Bactrians (and beyond) that started not long after Alexander's foray familiarized Middle Easterners and Europeans with the religion as well.

So it would have been impossible not to know about Buddhism in that day and age, given the importance and influence of countries that practiced it.

[RVN VET71]

179. The influence of Graeco-Roman civilization in the Bactrian area is quite visible

in the statuary and other sculptures of the time.

It's easy to forget that Alexander's march towards and into India left behind very significant influences as his armies advanced and conquered.

[DBoon]

169. There were Roman trading settlements in west India at the time

So travel would definitely be possible

[Otterdaemmerung]

115. Jesus

He'd challah for a good sandwich!

[dflprincess]

132. LOL

I see what you did there.

[Gore1FL]

125. He could turn water to wine.

Why not water into sweet and sour sauce?

[jaxexpat]

171. And he'd have the perfect wine to go with it as well.

Still, the big question is, would Jesus ask the staff "does that statue make me look fat?" Interested diners want to know.

[Conjuay]

92. no,

he’ll complain he couldn’t get a BLT in a Jewish deli

[Elessar Zappa]

2. So entitled.

[SharonAnn]

81. Yet he probably wants to enforce the Bible in public schools.

Even if the children attending and their parents are not Christians.

[ShazzieB]

110. But of course!

As far as he's concerned, forcing non-Christians to be exposed to Christian beliefs would be the best part!

[CrispyQ]

3. So sick of these whackjob zealots. -nt

[roamer65]

5. Makes me wish for their fabled Antichrist and his/her/its persecution of them.

I will join in.

[dflprincess]

133. If Jesus did return

these fools would decide he was the antichrist. Too woke, y'know.

[roamer65]

141. Very true.

They would.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

145. Well, you keep wishing for that

But the book makes it clear that he wouldn't have all that many problems with it.

He was, after all, the person who called a foreign woman and her daughter dogs to the mother's face, and bragged about how he had come to bring divisiveness to the world.

Sounds MAGAt-y to me.

[DFW]

4. I'm impressed

That is one of the most original scams I ever heard of for stealing food from a restaurant.

[lame54]

9. They are hell bound heathens...

But the egg rolls are fantastic

[DFW]

12. Reason enough right there! n/t

[Bristlecone]

44. Lol

[TheBlackAdder]

19. Ask him to leave, then call the cops and trespass his ass. That's the only way these freaks learn.

[RussBLib]

21. That's where I went too

Long way to go to get a free meal.

Then again, a lot of Xtians these days are true snowflakes. Shitty snowflakes.

[IronLionZion]

34. Virgin birth is a good excuse for getting knocked up

Jesus had 2 Dads.

[MontanaMama]

71. Great point!

I’ll be borrowing that for my arsenal, thank you very much.

[ironman99]

104. Actually, Jesus had 3 dads

The Father he mentions, Joseph the cuckolded carpenter, and the "Holy Spirit" that knocked up Mary.

[PatSeg]

51. Yes

I've heard some good ones, but this is the most original one so far. It amazes me the lengths some people will go to get something for nothing and they are often people who can absolutely afford to pay. They just like the sport of it, unfortunately at other people's expense. Of course if someone was ripping THEM off, they would scream the loudest.

The restaurant business is a rough one. So much hard work goes into making a profit, then clowns like this guy come along feeling entitled to get something for nothing. When the restaurant has to raise prices because of scam artists, guess who will be the first to complain (often loudly to an unfortunate hourly employee).

[OldBaldy1701E]

151. After I worked several years in a upscale cafe...

I learned that the worst whiners and freeloaders were usually the wealthiest people in the room. The stories I could (and should) tell!

Also, there is an old saying about this industry: How do you make a small fortune in the restaurant business?

Start with a large one.

[PatSeg]

156. Also, I found that the most prosperous

customers were frequently the worst tippers. My friends and I used to say that all people should have to work for two weeks waiting tables before being allowed to eat in a restaurant. Those who have never actually had to serve people are often entitled, cheap, and demanding.

That said, the absolutely best tippers and most gracious customers were truck drivers and of course, fellow servers and/or bartenders. I'm sure there were others, but those are the ones that come to mind.

I taught my children young, if you don't have enough money for a tip, go to MacDonalds.

By the way, I still have anxiety dreams about working in a restaurant and it has been decades.

[OldBaldy1701E]

175. You and me both!

I swore that I would never work in food service or customer service ever again. I swore I would starve in the streets before I would do it again.

So, I am starving in the streets. But, I don't have to listen to sad excuses for humans acting like that are important for some idiotic reason. Like I told the last person who tried to shift me into customer service. Unless you want the truth spoken at the counter, I suggest you not consider this. Since they never want the truth spoken to a customer, you might guess what their decision was. (Yes, it was to 'let me go' since I was not doing what they wanted, i.e.: doing jobs I was not hired for while being refused any pay or perk increases because of it. You won't pay me? I am not doing it. Period.)

[PatSeg]

177. Yes, I finally reached the point

that I also swore I'd never work in food service again, though I did still work in retail for many years. If nothing else being a waitress made me a very understanding customer and an excellent tipper.

When dealing with the public, I found that they are the most demanding and rude when it comes to their food. "I ordered my eggs over-light and these eggs are over-easy." What the hell? You can imagine the look on the cook's face when I brought them back. It was a good thing that they didn't have to deal directly with the customer. Eggs were always the most difficult, as people are more particular about that food than most others. Geez people, just eat at home.

Some people really are very picky, but for so many, it is really about power. They love the opportunity to look down on other people. I was annoyed the most by customers who picked on my teenage employees, often talking to them in a way they'd never talk to an adult.

Overall, I will say it was a learning experience, but I'm not sure I wanted to know that much about human nature. It could be very depressing.

[OldBaldy1701E]

178. It was certainly more than I ever wanted to know. (n/t)

[The Unmitigated Gall]

6. Sleaze.

I feel bad for that little kid.

[RockRaven]

7. Caveat emptor, dickweed! Maybe you should "do your own research" before patronizing a business.

[Coventina]

8. What an ignorant putz. News flash: Christianity is not the majority religion in China.

[Walleye]

10. Dude, Jesus would be so proud of you

[The Blue Flower]

14. I'd say even Jesus goes against whatever his religion is

Does he know anything at all about buddhism? What part of that belief system is offensive to him? I'd bet anything he couldn't say.

[LiberalFighter]

15. Does he have an employer or self-employed.

Either way complain to the employer about their stupid employee or boycott the self-employed person's business.

[sanatanadharma]

16. Yes, sir. We can give you 50% off ...

Yes, sir. We can give you 50% off
Be advised, we charge all Christians double because your beliefs offend my rationality.

[niyad]

91. Snort!!

[TheBlackAdder]

17. It's convenient he only noticed it after ordering and paying. Not sure if he ate it or kept it.

.

Since he's asking for a refund "for his troubles" I assume he kept or ate it.

.

[usonian]

18. Buddha imagery preceded this nut job by a few centuries.

What changed?

[Celerity]

20. more sky-being bullshit, there's no love like christian hate

[Martin Eden]

22. If a restaurant has Christian imagery ...

... should Buddhist/Muslim/Hindu/Jewish/atheist /etc patrons demand THEIR money back?

[barbtries]

24. no, of course not.

they should stay there, eat, and listen to the gospel, agree to be baptized before they leave. OTC and all that - they can feed their bodies and save their souls at the same time.

in case

[Martin Eden]

27. MY personal religion is THE ONE that should have a restaurant

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Pastafarians unite!

rAmen.

[IronLionZion]

30. Would it be cannibalism to eat spaghetti though?

Many Christians like symbolic cannibalism of eating the body and blood of Christ every Sunday

[Martin Eden]

61. Eating Spaghetti is encouraged

But not required. Basically just to yourself, to others, and to this beautiful planet and the life within it.

[Sogo]

126. Catholics don't believe it as symolism; they believe in "transubstantiation,"

the actual change of substance of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ.

OMG, that makes me wonder what my mother (RIP) would have done
if I had told her I couldn't take communion because I'm vegetarian....

[DBoon]

170. Pastafarian transubstantiation means ...

... transforming pasta into pasts

A true miracle of faith!

[EarnestPutz]

39. "Praise be His Noodly Goodness!"

[Martin Eden]

62. rAmen to that, Brother

Or Sister
Or Gender Other
(All are accepted and respected)

[barbtries]

90. ah, but it does.

they call it Italian is all.

[Red Mountain]

128. I'm pretty sure there is one

unlimited bread sticks, too.

Not sure what the name is, haven't visited.

I'm not religious.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

137. Would macaroni and cheese

With elbow pasta be acceptable to honor his noodly appendages?

[Mopar151]

142. Sho' nuff!

Our monster knows many squiggly paths to enlightenment! Some of our congregants speak of the Shrine of Saint Alfredo, may you find your own way.

[Chi67]

23. Idiot

I would tell him to get the fuck out.

[barbtries]

25. is that in the bible

that you can't eat food unless it's prepared by a "christian"?

i mean where does this guy come from? disclosure did not look at the link.

[ChazInAz]

130. Saint Peter solved that problem.

He had a vision in which God told him that everything was Kosher.
It occurred when he took a bit of a nap on hot day, when he was really hungry. ("Acts", I think. Been a while since I read a Bible.)

[maxsolomon]

26. News flash, dumbass:

BUDDHA IS NOT A GOD.

[geardaddy]

57. This

and there isn't just one Buddha. Chances are the statue was of Budai - the Laughing Buddha.

[ShazzieB]

111. I didn't know any of this!

I just googled Budai and learned a lot, so thanks (because I love learning stuff)!

[geardaddy]

166. You bet!

I lived in Beijing for a year and Taipei for four and was married to Buddhist from Taiwan. So, I got schooled.

[Snooper9]

28. best comment

I’d have disrespected the Buddha statue too, when I shoved it up his ass.

[IronLionZion]

29. Dude could GTFO

Try Chick-Fil-A

Eating Chinese food makes him a communist so we should send him to the gulag

[Aristus]

31. "I'm sorry, sir; but we can't give you your money back. But in the spirit of Christianity

we will give it to the poor. Have a nice day."

[area51]

134. Nice one.

[rsdsharp]

32. What's the over/under on him having finished his meal, before he noticed the "heathen" imagery?

He reminds me of the guy on our trip to China who complained to the AMEX tour leader that there were “too many Chinese.”

[Celerity]

43. almost certain that if you put that bloke's life under the microscope it would show 'true shitbag'

[hoosierspud]

33. Damn! I should have asked for

A refund when I got a pedicure last week

[iluvtennis]

35. Just asinine. I'd surmise that he's never been to a Chinese restaurant

before as they often have Buddha statues and goldfish aquariums as they are good luck for them.

[Evolve Dammit]

36. Look for the Christo-fascists to start coming after all kinds of "issues." On fire after Roe.

[ShazzieB]

112. All those so-called "religious freedom" laws allowing businesses to refuse service to LGBTQ+ folks

have probably emboldened people like this, too, by making them feel even more special than they already did.

[Evolve Dammit]

117. Orange Julius made it OK to treat people like shit & be a criminal cuz only losers and suckers don't

[ironflange]

37. Poor kid, he really looks embarrassed

"Aw, c'mon Dad, not this shit again!"

[keopeli]

38. This restaurant is just 5 min. from me. Friendly service, nice people, garden variety food.

I hate when people like this man pierce my fantasy of all my neighbors being kind and friendly so that I have to acknowledge how fu*ked up many members of my community really are.

This man could have been my brother-in-law!

[Traildogbob]

40. Has he

Ever seen Trump sitting naked on the golden thrown without his spanks? About a Buddha as you get. He would demand a refund for all the cash he is sending for legal fees, to his billionaire Messiah.

[no_hypocrisy]

41. Hey Dude! Stay out of kosher delis

[TeamProg]

42. It's about CONTOL. 'Sure, have a restaurant but we don't want you to be free'. nt

[onetexan]

45. Excuse not to pay?

[JanLip]

114. That's what I think

Just wanted a free meal. This is so asinine and so republican. If I was the owner. I would take the food back and tell him to leave. If he refused I’d call the cops.

Jan.

[IronLionZion]

46. In the Christian spirit, we're going to nail you to cross and see if you come back to life in 3 days

since this man is clearly being oppressed for his beliefs

[I_UndergroundPanther]

138. Lol

I would pay to see that

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

146. Back in 1597, the Japanese had seen enough of

'christian love' from their first missionaries.

Priests kept telling them how unworthy they were, and how they needed to be more like the demi-god. So the Japanese said, "Well, if you think people need to be more like your demi-god--You F'n first, padre."

And they promptly nailed 26 priests to trees, so they could practice what they preached.

Ever since then, chrisitianity has floundered in Japan.

[Prairie_Seagull]

47. WTF ishly second 'Ignorant putz'.

[jmowreader]

48. Oh my...

"I demand a refund! I see a Buddha statue! That's offensive to my Christian beliefs!"

"You're in a Chinese restaurant. What the hell did you expect to see?"

[world wide wally]

49. Sir?

Please step over here and then fuck off

[dalton99a]

50. Fucker is doing an Evangelical version of dine and dash

[hunter]

140. Evangelical Christianity celebrates entire lifetimes of "dine and dash."

You can fuck up an entire world, consume and pollute all you can of it, be an ignorant bigoted asshole.... and then fine, a very small, cruel, and capricious god forgives you in the end and welcomes you into his boring heaven if you accept some twisted mythical Jesus, supposedly his son, into your heart.

No thanks.

[Demobrat]

53. I sure hope they have his picture, name and number

next to the phone with a big Do Not Take Order sign. And if he tries to walk in they call the cops.

[Torchlight]

54. An entitled, triggered snowflake. Distilled down to its true essence.

Which is ironically, a phrase this guy probably throws round a lot.

[James48]

55. Say WHAt???

Um, I’m not a Buddhist, but I can’t think of anything that Buddha teaches that would conflict with Jesus. I’ve only been in a real Buddhist temple three times (in Korea), and only learned a small amount- but it all was consistent with what Jesus taught as described in the Bible. Just saying….

[LiberalArkie]

56. If he knew anything about Jesus, he would know Buddhist beliefs do not go against his beliefs

There has been a lot written about how Jesus's teachings on the sermon on the mount are inline with Buddha's. In fact a pretty good discussion that Jesus did learn Buddhists teachings during his absence from Judea.

[Bettie]

58. I'm willing to bet he's just a dick

everywhere he goes.

We need to find a way to get it through the thick skulls of these people that they have the right to their own religion, but they don't have a right to decide other people's religion! SO tired of this attitude.

[peppertree]

59. And that he listens to Hate Radio non-stop

I hope he gets a good kick in the Buddha.

[amb123]

60. Every time I saw a Buddha at a Chinese Restaurant ...

I rubbed it's belly for good luck!

What next, Banning Fortune cookies (invented in America, BTW) because it "encourages devil worship" by Fortune telling?

[dalton99a]

63. NEXT: "The sweet and sour pork I ate is not in the Bible. I am offended! I demand a REFUND!!!"

[IronLionZion]

73. The Bible explicitly bans pork several times

Deuteronomy 14:8
The pig, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh nor touch their carcasses.

Luke 8:33

And the demons came out of the man and entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

Trying telling that to the BBQ loving Bible belt and see what happens

[OnlinePoker]

77. And where would those swine have come from?

Presumably, if they are unclean and Judea was a Jewish region, there wouldn't be any swine to send those demons into in the first place.

[Retrograde]

83. The Romans?

I've often wondered about that myself. But then the Romans occupied Palestine at the time, and may well have brought some unclean animals and other stuff with them.

[Otterdaemmerung]

118. Other Middle-Eastern cultures.

[Polybius]

122. They will say that the New Testament nullified it

That's what I heard one Christian say when she was asked.

[IronLionZion]

131. OK, but it doesn't nullify any of the smiting and wrath for those they don't like

[Blue Owl]

64. To that man: Fuck off and get lost

[Warpy]

65. I would say he's SOL on that if he ordered and ate the food

I hope the manager very cheerfully told him to go to hell and banned him from the restaurant.

Maybe his church will feed him.

Ha.

[Ilsa]

66. So, the owner brought a Buddha statue to the table,

and told the man he wasn't allowed to eat until he prayed "thanks" to Buddha, and then told him he'd never get into heaven, right? No? Did the restaurant owner insist he give money to Buddhist causes? No? Demand he work to free Tibet? No?

How many times a week does he try to get this chinese food freebie?

[keithbvadu2]

67. Christian imagery. NOT a drag queen.

[burrowowl]

136. Yes find the horns!

[Iggo]

68. How does that entitle him to free food?

[Marcuse]

69. "Red Lobster served me detestable lobster even though Leviticus 11 forbids it. I want a refund!"

9
"`Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales.
10
But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales--whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water--you are to detest.
11
And since you are to detest them, you must not eat their meat and you must detest their carcasses.
12
Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be detestable to you.

[bucolic_frolic]

70. Presumably avoids Kosher in supermarkets? Or did he just want a free meal?

[Richard D]

72. Dear God . .

. . . please rapture these a-holes already.

[Ferrets are Cool]

74. Stupid MF'er

[dawn5651]

76. he just wanted a free meal and thought that whining about buddha was the way to go.

[dchill]

79. Seems like a mutated form of hydrophobia.

[elleng]

80. CLOSE YOUR DAMN EYES, IDIOT!

[Chili Pepper]

82. But yet somehow

liberals are the snowflakes

[tiredtoo]

84. Religion.... the root of all evil. EOM

[OnlinePoker]

95. Christians don't want to hear or acknowledge their god created the evil they despise

Isaiah 45 : 7 - I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

[3catwoman3]

85. Jesus H. Christ - sorry, couldn't resist.

What an idiot! And what a lame approach.

Related story - When our older son took driver's ed many years ago, we used a private service rather than waste time in his high school schedule. I walked into the place, and was rather taken aback to see a very large black and white poster of Jesus with the crown of thorns, prominently displayed on the wall behind the counter. The business cards had a cross on them, and the little dish that held them had a crucifix projecting from the far edge of the rim. There was one other in-your-face display but I can't now remember what is was. Their belief system was most apparent.

I felt compelled to ask the proprietors if students of all faiths were welcome at their school. (I did not share that we are agnostics.) They assured me that everyone was welcome. We did go ahead and use them, and my son told me there was never any praying before going on the road, or proselytizing of any kind, in which case we would have gone elsewhere, but without pitching a public fit about it.

It was a very odd experience.

[niyad]

87. How sad that his faith is so weak, so uncertain, so fragile, so tenuous,

that it can be threatened by a mere image.

F'n arrogant performance art.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

88. Wadda Snowflake!!

89. Fuck you

You demented sunovbitch.@ an take your t Ian shit with you..

93. Was this the latest tik tok challenge or some equally insane bs? And who

filmed it?

[Skittles]

96. acting like an asshole aligns with his "beliefs"

yes INDEED

[EnergizedLib]

97. How does The Onion stay in business

When nothing they come up with as ridiculous as reality.

I wonder who this genius voted for.

[Hassler]

98. Up next: MAGAt demands refund over the fortune in his fortune cookie

[Renew Deal]

99. Somebody hit him with "love thy neighbor."

But I think he needs to speak to a priest to get permission to live his life and understand other cultures. Getting lunch from people of a different religion does not compromise his beliefs.

Wait till he finds out who created bagels…

[cab67]

100. Did he eat the food?

[housecat]

101. I hope the publicity will bring more customers to dine there

[Beastly Boy]

102. If I understand Buddhism,

the dude will spend his next lifetime as a very successful salesman, making millions for himself, and then having to refund every penny of it.

[treestar]

103. That has zero to do with the contract

food for money. This guy is nuts.

[malaise]

105. WTF is right

Stay home

[ShazzieB]

106. To me, this is the funniest part.

Underlining added for emphasis by me:

However, after he allegedly spotted a statue of Buddha, an Asian spiritual master associated with the Buddhism religion, he demanded a refund since Buddhist beliefs go against his beliefs as a Christian.

Why is this funny? Because I'd bet any amount of money that nimrod couldn't even name ONE Buddhist belief if he tried! But he just knows they go against his "Christian" beliefs.

[ShazzieB]

107. And now I'm dying for some Chinese food, goshdarnit! 🤣

[IronLionZion]

116. For extra fun, ask him to name which Christian beliefs it goes against

[ShazzieB]

147. Great idea!

Should be lots of fun.

[sakabatou]

108. *facepalm*

What an ignorant asshole.

[kimbutgar]

113. Something tells me this guy just ruined his life !

This video will go viral and he will be identified. I wonder what his boss will think of him?

Dude just wrecked his life with his bigotry !

[NotANeocon]

119. "he demanded a refund since Buddhist beliefs go against his beliefs as a Christian"????

Poor ignoramt fool obviously has no knowledge of the teachings of The Buddah OR The Christ

[dalton99a]

120. Perhaps the restaurant should use a different Buddha

This one:

The seller also sells a Trump toilet brush

[Xipe Totec]

121. Just give him a refund and ban him for life. nt

[Xolodno]

123. I'll add a joke....

...why hasn't Christ returned? If you saw the instrument of your death on every house of worship, would you return?

[TNNurse]

124. Did someone tell him he was too stupid and fragile to leave home???

127. Can't bear to watch these psycho freaks anymore.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

135. What gives christians the right to

Dictate that other religions should be erased in places they do not own?

Who the fuck do these assholes think they are?
I am sick to death of bullying,censorious,control freak,stupid ,ignorant scared christian assholes.

If I owned a restaurant or a club ,A policy would be no christian proselytizing and christians not welcome.

Any karen or ken would be taken out the door and told not to come back. If they did they'd get tossed out again.

No business owner should have to cater to anyone else's beliefs or obnoxious behavior.

143. Which Buddhist beliefs don't align with your alleged Christian beliefs.

I'll be over here waiting.

148. Perhaps the one about there being no God?

Buddhists do not believe in any kind of deity or god, although there are supernatural figures who can help or hinder people on the path towards enlightenment.

152. I wonder if he's related to that angry screaming "God Warrior" woman from TV.

[vercetti2021]

153. I saw this a few days ago on that sub

These Christians are complete fucking snowflake turds. Your bullshit religion isn't the superior one. Sounds like just some fucking jackass using his religion to get a free meal. Typical grifting POS. Bet ya know who he voted for

[Xavier Breath]

154. Reminds me of that old song we'd sing at vacation bible school when I was a kid

Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching like General Tso,
With the soup of egg drop,
available after four....

[Zambero]

155. And (gasp), those horrific occult fortune cookies

Woo-hoo! Free chow for friggin' freepin' freeloaders. Gotta love this grievance shit!!

[MissMillie]

157. I'll bet my bottom Buddha...

that the offended customer has ordered food from this restaurant before.

It's just that now, the climate is such that he thinks he can get away w/ this crap.

[The Wizard]

158. Then victimhood culture

has caused some to have a mental shutdown. If he paid and then wanted a refund he could have asked politely. Something stinks.

[raging moderate]

159. No sound.

Whatever he said, oh well. If you say so. I can't get any film with sound.

[SouthernDem4ever]

160. I moved Flying Spaghetti Monster statue to the front of my restaurant

Just in case. That way he can just turn around and leave if he doesn't like it.

[Earth-shine]

163. If it's an Italian restaurant, the religion-neutralizing spaghetti monster could be confused

with advertising.

It might attract unsuspecting Christians to come inside for a pasta dinner.

They would eat the blasphemous, yet holy meatballs.

[SouthernDem4ever]

173. Chuckle

Sorry, couldn't help it. I wasn't trying to detract from the seriousness of the situation.

[Earth-shine]

174. Being a fellow believer in the FSM, I was trying to distact from the seriousness of it all.

Isn't that why the FSM was created -- to distract from the seriousness by creating a creator in the image of our dinners?

I'm hungry!

[llashram]

161. this extremism

about one's beliefs and perceived offence to those beliefs driving me crazy. In fact, Buddhism saved my sanity while I was serving in Vietnam. Anyone can believe and is entitled to believe what they shall about the worship of God. These types of Christians are misled about their rights concerning their beliefs.

Everyone on this planet is entitled to love whom they love and worship God in any manner chosen. When every damn one of us shuffles off this mortal coil, we'll see. Period.

[Jakes Progress]

162. I guess I get free food from any restaurant with a rebel flag.

And every Muslim and Buddhist eats free at most American diners.

[beat.raven]

164. I'm a number of years...

....beyond my time as a scholar. But when I wuz, I conceived the notion, several have already mentioned above, that Jesus might have toured India a while before Rudyard Kipling and the Beatles. Lots of others before and smarter than me have realized the same possibility.

Hinduism predates Christianity by several thousand years and had a Trinity, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, long before Christianity came up with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Buddhism was also started there 500 years BCE, mas o menos, by a prince named Siddhartha Gautama who never claimed to be a god. He was made one by later converts to his teachings, and one Buddha not being enough for them they went on to invent other Buddhas, manifestations of him, to the point that Gautama is now known as the "historical" Buddha.

Gautama got let out of his palace at some point and found out that everybody didn't have his personal buttwiper and that some people were (gasp) poor. He famously went off and meditated about it under a tree and came up with lots of stuff similar to what Christ taught.

I've got no quarrel with Buddha's teachings or those of Jesus, but those lately who profess to be Christians display amazing ignorance of his teachings.

[RussBLib]

165. I would echo another customer...

STFU! and GTFO!

[raging moderate]

167. No sound.

I cannot get any sound with any of these films.

[Vinca]

168. Guess the fool needs to go looking for a good Chinese restaurant with a picture of

Jesus doing a stir fry.

[Oopsie Daisy]

172. It's DARK SIDED!! PSYCHICS!! DEMONS!! 🤣😂

[we can do it]

176. Another scamming xtian asshole.

He’s probably eaten there (or another Chinese restaurant with similar art) many times and it occurred to him that there was a free food scam right before his eyes.
