Now you see, this is homophobic, and it makes Christianity look bad, and I feel ashamed by association.

Please explain. Don't they add value by delivering the pizza so you don't have to get off your lazy ass and pick it up yourself?

Some places include that in the price. If they don't i usually tip 10% but i dont order a lot of places without a delivery fee (some reason only pizza places do free delivery here).

Also I'm just cheap.

It's one guy carrying potentially hundreds of dollars who you can call up to come wherever and whenever you want him to and his busiest time (with the most cash) is in the evening and night.

Busiest times are when folks are likely to be out and about too- Friday and Saturday night.

The payout is not unlike what you'd get from a 7-11 but you have the benefit of no cameras, place/time of your choosing, and no one else around to intervene.

Especially at the end of the shift with the change becausee we carry our float plus whatever we made that day.

Most pizza shops don't accept deliveries from blocked number callers, though, because of this.

Unfortunately it usually takes a prior incident to get blacklisted.

Well, that's very different. Free delivery is simply a driver who's paid to work for the store itself and not a freelancer that I was - working for a driver pool. There's absolutely no expectation of you having to do anything except pay for the pizza.

I've given Sava a final warning about some of his posts in this thread. They really cross the line.

Orthodox have priests.

Pastors are for heathen cracker religions.

I was just trying to help you integrate in heathen cracker Chicago

I think it's cute when atheists try to argue with Christians and use the Old Testament as their cite. I mean, how stupid is that?

To be fair, it usually comes after some idiot Christian uses some Leviticus text to justify anti-homosexual stuff, etc. Once that door is opened, its fair game for it to swing the other way in a discussion.

So I was stressing the Jewish identity of Yeshua, the charismatic Jewish rabbi and prophet, one of a long line or heritage of such teachers and foretellers, encouraging his fellow Jews to purify themselves with ritual immersion, respect for the spirit of the Law rather than rote observance of the dead letter of the law- people like Nehemiah and John The Baptist.

Which was also St. Paul's point. Of course, he is writing in a completely different cultural context, and for that context, he was ridiculously progressive. I think he may be shocked that we are treating his letters to other churches 2000 years as if they applied to our culture the same exact way (he'd agitate to look at the spirit of his letters rather than the dead letter of them - as was Jesus's point with the Law).

Wasn't your education free?

Which part ?

I suggest you keep your day job.

So now you're fortune telling as well as mind reading.

Good thing to branch out I suppose. Will you be dressing up in drag as a gypsy woman and rubbing some crystal balls ?

Worked in a bindery for awhile - worked as an office assistant as well. And yes the pay was better and work conditions much better.

It's like 'Little House On The Priairie' or 'When The Boat Comes In' for sheer drama and down to earth grittiness.

MRT's attitude is pretty common among liberals.

Is it ? Unlike you, I have never made a survey of this country's, Australia's or Canada's 'liberals', so I wouldn't know.

[molly bloom]

This. The drivers don't get nearly enough.

So instead of acting to change those abysmal conditions of service and pay, you'd rather whine about the supposed tipping habits of 'liberals'.

My, how logical.

What are you? A Cafeteria Christian? All parts of the Holy Bible are relevant to discussing Christianity.

A job is better than no job at all. Liberals can help or they can hinder.

I think his point is more about taking planks out of your own eye.
