This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. There are an amazing amount of people that ride the DC Metro that read the bible to pass the time. I don't have a problem with that. Good for them, in fact, for reading words inspired by their imaginary friend. There are some good stories in there and that Jesus character can be pretty interesting.
However, I sometimes wonder, what would Jesus do (WWJD)? Would Jesus sit in a seat designated for the handicapped -- to read his biography? Somehow, that seems to smack of being a hypocrite. Ya think?
To be fair, this lady did leave a bit of space beside her, and I didn't see any handicapped people looking for seats. But I have seen people on crutches and very old people standing while there were young and seemingly healthy people making themselves very comfortable in the handicapped seats. I'm sure if they were to look up from their bibles for a moment, they might realize that their seat reserved for the handicapped is needed for the handicapped person struggling to stand nearby; but they have bible study on their minds and looking up is not in the cards.
