Women ordered to stop praying inside mall

I thought he was a she!

It's so hard to tell the difference with s.

That's actually a good point -- if it was done as a theatrical thing to draw attention, it might be more akin to the Pharisee in the tower. But if they just stopped along the way and had prayer, that's different.

it wasn't though this was normal for them to do.

A few weeks ago the Dublin Girls had gathered inside the local mall for an evening power walk. They formed a small circle and as they had done many times before, they bowed their heads to petition the Almighty.
But before one of the runners could say, “Lord Jesus,” she was interrupted by a mall cop barreling down a corridor.
“The security guard came running toward us and said, ‘You are not allowed to pray at the mall. That’s against the policy,’” Tammy told me.

So, if they were comparing lottery tickets, or discussing abortions.... they'd be good!

yep unfortunately looks like the bullying folks at Freedom From Religion and their ilk are winning because the mall like this and that restaurant offering discounts to those who prayed by using greenmail tactics against folks by threatening lawsuits against them if they allow legal and constitutionally protected speech on their premises. I wish folks would just stand up to those Bullies like that high school valedictorian did earlier this year.

What about the Judge that we will all answer to someday?

I think I might start a restaurant called "I give discounts to whomsoever I wish and if you don't like it don't eat here".

I loved the crispy bacon they served.

One of these days I should tell you the story about an acquaintance of mine who was going to open a liquor store on Beaver Ruin Road near Norcross but there was a weird rule here in Georgia that prohibited putting Liquor on the sign (you had to call it a package store) ruining his nasty plan.

Thank you free market. After a protest at the mall this happened:

--
However, after the matter made headlines, MCK Properties, the owners of Dublin Mall, stated that mall employees misunderstood the rules and that MCK Properties takes no issue with prayer at the establishment—as long as it is not “imposed” on the shopper.

“The mall first and foremost has no issues or objection whatsoever with anyone of any religion denomination privately and quietly praying over their food before they eat or showing devotion towards their religion of choice provided it does not impose itself on others or take away from the overall shopping experience,” John Engler, vice president of MCK Properties, wrote in a statement.
