    Well, it is a soup kitchen for the homeless. It doesn't seem fair that I should have to set aside my religious beliefs if I want to eat. They could offer an alternative, but the soup kitchen is pushing an agenda.

    I don't think they should be banned, but what they're doing is pretty tasteless -- no pun intended.

    Interesting responses guys.

    I would have thought that if you are homeless and starving you would eat anything as long as it is nutritious. At least they are disclosing that it contains pork !

    Who in their right mind would worry about religious beliefs under those circumstances ? If they don't want it they can always buy something else at a restaurant.

    Then again, perhaps this just proves how ridiculous all religious beliefs are !

    I don't know who to agree with on this one. All I can say is that if I were homeless I probably would have already given up faith in the religion I was following, so I would definitely eat whatever was available. Beggers can't be choosers, but at the same time it is the job of the soup kitchen to provide to all who enter its doors. Its staff should try their best to cater to the needs of all people who will be dropping in.

    How 'bout people who believe that dying of hunger is preferable to eternal damnation? There are people like that.

    I probably fall on the freedom-to-serve-whatever-damn-soup-they-like side of the argument, but I can still play 's advocate and see the other side. They're being cocks by not offering chicken soup, too.
