The comment where a member is disappointed that they can't wear their t-shirts and never says anything about not being willing to forego the t-shirt if needed? Really? And you wonder why we think you sound desperate?

Note that this isn't an employment issue, and the kitchen's site says it feeds anyone who comes, with no religious requirements.
It also doesn't say anything about religious requirements for volunteers. There's literally no clue until you ask that atheists aren't welcome to volunteer.

Yeah, like any other demographic that gets discriminated against does. Not even minority groups, you should hear the Christians squawk if someone dares to step on their toes.

We only know what was reported to have been said. So do you. We are in the enviable position of not having to imagine what might have been said or not said in order to argue our point. Verbatim quotes work fine for us.

Even I think better of most Christian organizations that you do, John, apparently.
