Meh...I have been an atheist all my life but I have learned to understand and accept that 90% of the population believes there is a giant white-haired spaghetti monster in the sky. Given that, I don't see a problem with people making a buck off it...

a lot of churches are all about money--what's the contradiction here?

in the photographic industry you see it all the time
and 99% of the time the work is crap

IMHO I think that Christians feel more comfotable working with Christians sometimes. I guess there is a common sense of priorities, and you would hope they have a similar sense of right and wrong.

P.S. I have more of a problem with "Christians" who advocate death penalty, war and fucking poor people.

seems to me if you are saying you are a christian in any business you are using god to make money.

Partially unrelated side story -
Years ago whilst working in a convenience store, a regular customer handed me a business card to drop in the "Win a week of Free Coffee" fishbowl. When I examined the card, it was so bright with the shiny purple foil on it. I soon realized it was a card for a cleaning service. On it was a silhouette of a person holding a vacuum in one hand and a bible in the other raised hand.
The tagline read "We not only cleanse bowls, we cleanse souls."
I wish I had kept it.

I think the point of calling yourself a "Christian Design Agency" is that you know the "Christ market". As in, any church or whatever that hires you can be confident you'll be communicating well and coming up with compatible ideas. I personally think it's silly, but I'm not hostile towards them or anything...

is there a reason for the random hate?
from past posts, you guys have made fun of christian sites for their crappy design. now you are bothered when christians have christian companies that cater to christians and (hopefully raise the standard of) design for christians/ministries/outreaches... from what i have seen, a LOT of christian companies need help in the design department.
if you have actual beef with a christian design agency, then explain yourself. if it's another random attack on christianity and those who practice christianity, why are you beating a dead horse?
- They are using religion to make money, aren't they?mrdobolina
- I thought I did explain myself?detritus
- if i were a ministry, i'd want to work with someone who did quality work and shared my beliefs.ender79
- how about if it was someone who just said they did? How would you know the difference?mrdobolina
- if it's a company that works only with ministries, i would assume they were telling me the truth.ender79
- hence marketing yourself as a "christian design agency." see how that works? :)ender79
- shit, I am going to start telling people I am a christian, seems pretty lucrative.mrdobolina

All I'm thinking is the "church" has historically never been short on cash. Yet, regardless, they have commissioned some mighty nice works of art through the years, of which I might remind us all that the artist has, like many an alter boy, been screwed in the end.
Take a trip to the cleaners if you can.
