Rev. Barry Lynn Understands Double Talk
clip
My final example concerns a table that, while privately owned, could
be big enough for lots of people – if only its owners had a more
charitable vision. According to reports in the Kansas City Star, the
Kansas City Rescue Mission has decided not to accept the offer of the
Kansas City Atheist Coalition to help with distribution of 2,000
Thanksgiving meals to the poor and elderly.
The Mission apparently decided to include a religious message in this year’s meal boxes, and it was unclear if the atheists would go along with that. It seemed irrelevant anyway, as the Mission made it abundantly clear that it didn’t want the non-believers’ help, calling the partnership a bad fit. And that was the end of any communication.
