Not WWJD, but DBAD
His points are quite valid. My asshat (this witch's new favorite word) ex wondered why I always thanked the "service" person - I do it because I have BEEN that person on that side of the counter. Even when a mistake is made - if the serviceperson has a good attitude, I can be nice about asking it to be fixed. Give me attitude, I am not a Nice Customer - as I *know* what is expected on that side of the counter/phone/kitchen.
I'm quite active on the USAToday's Faith & Reason forum... got some hard-core Bible-thumpers, conservatives, as well as our share of gays, Wiccans & atheists and combinations thereof.
But I've also been blessed to have some good Christian friends - who walk the talk. We don't agree on certain points, but overall, have the same morals & values - it's only the religious basis/origin of those values that differ.

My grandmother always said that no one should ever have to ask if you have faith and values, they should be able to tell by your actions alone. She never wore a cross, or harped upon the minute details of religion, and she taught me kindness and acceptance of those that I might not agree with.
You can tell alot about a person by the way that they treat waiters and waitresses.
