(135,425 posts)You aren't "defending" shit when you curse at and put down someone with no power--you're just being an ass. People who do that sort of stuff are telling us way more about themselves than they realize--and none of it is particularly laudable. Everyone, I'm betting, who saw the interaction between the OP and the cashier came down on the side of the cashier--and it has nothing to do with religion, it has everything to do with civility and essential human decency, which the OP plainly has in short supply.
And speaking of open minds, what ever happened to "Pick your battles?" I'd say beating up on a powerless lady whose religious affiliations are in no way clear based on her utterances is an example of letting one's brains fall out and go splat!
But hey, knock yourself out. Be proud of your boorishness. Being a jerk isn't against the law.
