Luiz 4,253 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 doesnt a member of a band own a restaurant that does the same thing? i think its a guy from U2 or something. good business strategy i guess but it seems like it would only be good temporarily edit: it was bon jovi http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2014/jan/28/pay-what-you-want-restaurants-around-world not exactly the same deal though I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'm shocked too. I feel like as soon as they read "God" in the title they wrote her off as crazy. She isn't charging nothing and expecting God to give her money - she's charging nothing and having faith in the good of people. Religon is about a lot more than saying "God will do it." it has to do with trusting other people and believing that they have good in their hearts. The amount of hate I see everyday - including here - for religon is kinda disgusting. you don't need to be religous, but why must they rant about how "ignorant" religous people are? So, while this woman is out helping her community by offering afforable meals what are you doing that makes you better than her? Serious question! Why is she a "mess" and why should she get help? Sorry I went off on a rant there. This endless cycle of religon hate is just sickening me. But they're free meals, not affordable. Unless people are actually giving money, her business will die.

JeffSwift 314 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 it's not about religious hate, it's disguising what this really is, a business move. Almost 80% of the country identifies with Christianity and it's a restaurant in the south. She knows who her base is and plastering faith in God all over her new proposition just makes her market base that much more active in trying to reward her money "faith" with even more income. Do you think if this was any other religion she'd be receiving such ecstatic financial support? If she were of the Islamic faith for example her income would probably be crushed. She's playing a safe market right now, that's what this really is. And then with even more income her supporters will use that as "proof" that God rewards those who live a Christian life (even though it was their own decision alone that got her that money) and more evidence of why they should proselytize even harder to non-believers. It's all been done before. This. If it was the islamic faith the building probably would have been vandalized.. Sorry that's the world we live in, anyone who disagrees needs to take the rose colored glasses off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliLilMonster 476 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I would avoid this place at all costs. I'd feel way to much pressure to come up with what to pay. If I pay too little people will judge me so then I overpay so I don't look like an ass. What a guilt trip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
