Free Parking For The Religious!

"If you ever happen to find yourself in Woking, Surrey, a large British town of some 100,000 people, you might be entitled to free Sunday parking in local municipal garages. But there?s a catch: the offer is valid only if you?re religious."

"In that case, local churches or mosques will validate your parking stub. So count your blessings? and your savings! Woking subsidizes ?religious? parking to the tune of ?41,000 ($64,000) a year."

"Let?s not forget that the U.K. is one of the most secular places on the planet. Fully 42 percent of Britons are agnostics or atheists. Only 12 percent frequently go to church. It?s borderline aggravating when non-churchy citizens are publicly pooh-poohed and marginalized by the likes of Ray Morgan, but it surely crosses some line when, after Hizzoner is done talking **** about them, he hits them in the pocketbook to raise money for his favored minority."

What do you all think of this nonsense?
 
It is trying to push people into believing, but entirely for the wrong purpose; this is ridiculous. And it entirely disregards the morals of faith itself.
Ah, and then people are surprised religion is so bashed. *sigh*
 
I agree. No offence to Americans but this is something I'd probably expect other there...

I've never seen something like this over here. I'm sure it exists, but not anywhere close to where I live, and my community's heavily religious. 0_0
 
That's "equality" for you.

Anyway, it's a load of bullshit. 'nuff said on my part. xD
 
In that case, let's predestine some parking spots for the following as well;

pro-nazi followers
terrorists
Corrupt world leaders
KKK
Bloods
Crypts
etc.


If not, I call discrimination.
 
I find this disgusting and I'm really surprised that this wasn't in the US. I've never seen anything like that here, but it sure as hell is more likely in this country.
