There is a love for diversity here. The free marketplace of ideas. Tolerance flows freely.

"...people who exploit Christianity with ANY sort of marketing ploy..."
is what I should've said.
- so any christian on television? Im looking at you Kirk Cameron!mrdobolina

I tolerate you.

Here at the office we get all these Small Business mags for some reason. And I remember they did a whole article on Faith Based businesses - whole networks of banks, real estate agents, insurance companies, etc. that just cater to the christian evangelicals. They had to deal with some lawsuits when people who weren't christians were hired and consequently not given promotions, raises, etc. But it was one of those shiny happy articles about how advertising and marketing and setting up a Jesus business was Good Business!

mrdobolina, as you have been told before, the 10 commandments were designed to demonstrate our sin and perfection of God's law. But they cannot save us. The purpose of the 10 commandments is to drive us to the foot of the cross, seeking mercy.
- at what point will you realize I am not buying what you are selling?mrdobolina
- Hey Dobs, no offense, but maybe at the point when you realise he aint selling what you're resisting!Spookytim
- When you stop asking your skeptic 101 style questions?teleos
- your juvenile attempts at razzing actually provide a nice springboard for...teleos
- ...demonstrating important points to honest lurkers.teleos
- yeah I am the only one who does it.mrdobolina
- No, you're just the worst at it. Please try a little bit harder. D for effort.teleos
- Its a non arguement. You're both on different side of the fence. Neither will change the other's POV. LALD.Spookytim
- someone needs to combat the nonsense.mrdobolina
- But they feel the same way Dobs. You both generate the nonsense attempting to neutralise each others POV.Spookytim
- combat the nonsense! ...but don't ask me errr... why I should. -mrdobolinateleos
- dobs pushes his opinion on everyone the way that he says religious people push their religion onto others.kona
- and conveniently never states what he believes. He's a coward and quite sad really.teleos
- my opinions can be tested. religious dogma can't.mrdobolina
- tell us how the scientific method works, mrdobs. And what specific "opinions" of your's can be tested.teleos
- go ahead, we're all ears.teleos
- my opinions could potentially be proved wrong is what I mean, religion just can';t I guess?mrdobolina
- you're using to general of terms. How could one test "religion"?teleos
- you're missing the point.mrdobolina

Jesus Inc.

http://www.christianpost.com/art…- There are fantastic biblical principles that can be applied to operating a business.teleos
- Like not paying taxes.czawada
- Nope. Jesus held up a coin and said "render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's". We gotta pay.teleos
- your church doesnt though, even though it isn't a religion in your estimation.mrdobolina
- faith based organizations which do not generate revenue are not taxed in this country. Should this change?teleos
- yes.mrdobolina
- good luck with that. ;)teleos
- Oh I know. but it is stupid. Untaxed money is used to buy television networks to solicit more donations. that is building a business.mrdobolina
- the definition of a business.mrdobolina
- But that is an unwarranted generalization. Most churches don't have TV ministries.teleos
- I know, but they have the same rules, that is wrong.mrdobolina
- what is "wrong" in this context? Tell why, epistemologically, something is "wrong"?teleos
- you see no difference between Pat Robertson's Outfit and a small church?mrdobolina
- Do you really use the word "epistemologically" in casual conversation?mrdobolina

- Spookytim0
Wow
- teleos0
seems like a joke.
- Kinda like the religion.czawada
- Yes. Religion is like a joke in many ways. Which is why I have no need for it.teleos
- Christianity not a religion anymore?czawada
- Never was. It's always been a personal relationship wiht Jesus.teleos
- Kinda like Islam is a personal relationship with Muhammud?mrdobolina
- teleos? whats teh dictionary definition of religion?ephix
- Oh shit, I forgot. It's a cult. I guess it's only a religion when it's for personal gain of the church... like come tax time.czawada
- i guess we shouldnt expect a response to these questions thenephix
- No. Islam is not a personal relationship with Muhamed. Mrdobs is showing his ignorance again.teleos
- you have a personal relationship with jesus huh? you sure its not ur subconscious talking back to u?Antonelli

Mmmhmmm, those Godly refreshments have got me swung - I entreat to ye, dear Lord, partake of my commercial vehicle and share unto yon worshipful folk - blessed be my brand!
or something.
That's, so far, the best site of 2008 (sorry, coldy).

These are the sort of people Jesus drove out of the temple when he caught them peddling their wares to worshippers. Sickening.

Uh-Oh, I fear another round of Christian bashing on the horizon.

Reminds me of the businesses that support Christian talk radio so people will think they're reputable car dealers, transmission repair, etc.

So the maze is designed for the mentally handicapped to help them through the perils of life?
