They called her an "ignorant c*nt" and eventually allowed her to leave. They had ripped the feet off the fish.

No the store does not have video. No she did not take a photo of these excellent Christians.

If they were truly prohibiting her from leaving she should have called the police. Even if she felt the least bit threatened she should have called the police.

In the heat of such an outrageous assault one is challenged to think clearly and act fast. Too bad she could not have taken a video of what happened - with sound!

I like this one. Google Image Result for https://www.evolvefish.com/thumbnail.asp?file=assets/images/AutoEmblems/EF-EMB-P-00023.jpg&maxx=300&maxy=0

If you want to believe that God created the World in six days then so be it, but there are a few "serious holes" with that theory too, and I don't see things improving there over the next 138 years.

Sorry this happened to your wife.

I’m just really glad that it wasn’t Mrs. KC; the rest of their day probably wouldn’t have gone very well.

The serious holes have been discovered much more recently than you are aware of. I suggest you look up holes in Darwin’s theory. As a brief summary Evolution is a very slow process. The rapid expansion of life and its diversity would require a much longer time than the earth has existed. Then there is the problem of atoms assembling to form the basic building blocks of life especially proteins. In turn these basic building must combine in the proper way. Finally what transforms non living compounds into living compounds. Some theories exist but no proof. Finally there is the issue of quantum theory which started in the early 1920s but today has completely upended the common sense notion some have of evolution. Currently it has been shown to mathematically approach 0 for life to have formed unless there is an external factor then the probability is one. There is no theory of what that external factor. I believe it is an intelligent force you can believe otherwise. But Albert Einstein believed in a God as did Issac Newton.

99% of the people can be attacked like this and the perpetrators get to walk away. They're lucky they haven't done this to the 1%.

Did you think the perps deserved to be shot for this act or that Mrs Blueash did the RIGHT THING by walking away and not looking for a confrontation that could have become worse ?

Mocking a religion isn’t appropriate behavior. It is not only rude but potentially dangerous as you found out.

I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school for 12 years. We were taught evolution in biology class. Catholics do not believe in a literal interpretation of the bible. Many Christian denominations have no problem with evolution.

Sorry, Blueash.

I had a "Choose Wisely" Star Wars decal on my cart that some people seemed to interpret as a political statement. I've been asked (accosted?) twice in parking lots by women who seemed to believe it was saying something about abortion. I scraped it off after the second time, but can attest that some people do take an interest and feel free to butt in!

We have volumes of data and other proof of Evolution, but Zero proof of religion. Consider the violence caused by religion over the centuries. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Yet each religion mocks other religions and those of no religion to a degree. Most christians seem to believe that christianity is the only religion and their God is the only God.

[JimJohnson]

7 plus Billion people on earth.
2 plus Billion Christians.

Does that mean God will send 5 plus Billion of his/her children to burn in hell for eternity? Really?

In my opinion, earth would be better off if everyone kept their religion private. Religious prejudice is no different than Racial prejudice.

[GOLFER54]

The whole thing sounds Fishy to me.

Theres not a whole lot of difference between Christian radicals and Moslem radicals.
