Perhaps it's because I don't think the guy was that offended. This is a bunch of people blowing it out of proportion. It's a manufactured issue.

Perhaps because you have no idea what it's like for homeless people living on the street who have to beg for food to fill their bellies.

How on earth would you know if he was offended? Do you have special spidey powers that allow you to know the feelings of random homeless people who get their pictures posted on FB?

A good man would have simply given the homeless man lunch. It is a terrible thing to beg. There is no reason to hold the man hostage. It is narcissistic. It became about the person praying. Pharisee comes to mind.

It is revolting. When you give, there should never be something attached to it. You give because of someone's need, and your ability to provide. I do not think you do get it, Viz.

Neither does the fast food manager.

When does it stop being about Chris and start being about oneself?

Who's Chris ?

I called him a fast food manager. His place of business is only important to you.

I am concerned about his actions, which you seem to applaud. That makes me a little sad, Viz.

You weren't in the picture, being offered food and prayer.

Have you read any comments about what the man receiving food and being prayed for thought of it?

The point, Vizio, is that that kind of psychic rape is disgusting to any witness with sensibility.
