Seems Hobby Lobby's owner has a HUGE collection of historical Bibles and related religious texts (Dead Sea Scroll fragments, first-printing King James, famous typos, artistic renditions, etc.). Just had an exhibition thereof in Atlanta; 3 hours was a good start for perusal. Word is he's working on a permanent exhibit.

I agree with that: I’d appreciate it if you didn’t use that type of language when addressing me.

But I also have to question the Tyson connection. IIRC they were heavily in bed with the Clintons. Didn’t Hill serve on their BOD?

Trijicon was [in]famous for including abbreviated verse references in rifle scope serial numbers.
Our enemies didn’t approve, so Trijicon was compelled to stop it, and kits were issued for physical removal of the alphanumerics.

The media and the militant queer lobby decided to use his statement to invent a controversy.

The queers wanted to build a fire, then the media tried to throw gasoline on it.

Their efforts remind me of a 4th of July sky rocket with a defective fuse, it fizzled and didn't go anywhere.

Yup. The Left is outraged that right-leaning businesses may express their views, but have no qualms about left-leaning business expressing theirs.

Believe it or not, I think Hill was on the WALMART board at one time. Not sure for how long....

I think I remember something going on with Tyson, but cannot remember the details.

Amway corp. a global enterprise and a 11 billion dollar a year business in products, was started by 2 Christian men who were not shy about their faith. The company is still privately held by the 2 families. The surviving founder Rich DeVos still reads from Matthew - the account of the birth of Christ- at the annual Christmas employee celebration. They also display a life size nativity scene outside their world headquarters in Ada, Michigan.

For those of you in the Southeastern US, I heartily recommend COOKOUT, a blatantly Christian-owned/operated fast food restaurant. Here is some information about their operations.

This is what I saw at the Burlington Mall (Burlington, MA) yesterday at noon:

I estimated 200-300 people. Another Freeper who went at 1300 said it was much more, 400-500.

Maybe it isn't a lost cause up here.

Damn. Damn. Damn.

Thanks, ETL. These folks made a chocolate habanero ice cream that was great.

Won’t be eating it again. From them, at least.

Did you do that yourself? If so, nice job!

My wife and I really liked the “God’s Love” commercials for Interstate Batteries this past Christmas. This kind of thing definitely influences our purchases.

that while having a “purpose” such as a social or environmental cause can be a very good thing for a business, evoking religion can backfire.

Yes, because the left leaning media will crucify you for one mention of God or religion, but give a pass for whatever strange social or ecological stance. Apple or MS could donate a million dollars to NAMBLA and it wouldn’t get the attention that CFA did for supporting traditional marriage

“But I also have to question the Tyson connection. IIRC they were heavily in bed with the Clintons.”

I recall something like this: When Clinton was governor, he provided prisoners to Tyson as low-wage/slave labor. In return, he got Tyson’s support — TONS of support. It’s been a while, but that’s what I remember. There’s a huge Clinton-Tyson connection — so much so that we haven’t purchased Tyson products in more than a decade.

Tyson can say they’re faith focused, but Clinton carried around the biggest Bible possible — and what do we know about him?

Another company unashamed of their faith is Hodgden, the maker of gun powders. http://www.hodgdon.com/

“Our mission is to provide quality propellants, other products, and services to sportsmen, governing units, and other businesses in a manner which enhances the quality of life for our stockholders, employees, customers, associates, and suppliers. In doing so, we will deal with integrity and honesty, reflecting that people are more important than dollars and that our purpose is to bring credit to our Lord Jesus Christ.”

I’m in agreement with you; I haven’t purchased Tyson products since find this out during the Clinton era.
