Interesting how they neglected to print the actual quotes from the Bible that those in this article chose to share. I guarantee that this article only got published as a venue to the obligatory Christian Bashing it could include. *Rolleyes*

"Those of us not within Christianity are not included," he said. "If it's a Jewishrun business or an atheist-run business, does that mean they don't have integrity?"

If the shoe fits, put it on! Seriously though, you can't tell. But the cry-baby thing is a dead give away!

Of course the "gay business" directories around are fine I guess. I think they are called the purple pages where I live.

In other stories of shocking discrimination, only fellow members of the Chamber of Commerce are located in the Chamber Directory and only businesses owned by women are in the Women In Business Directory (We call it the Business and Professional Women Directory out here).

I can't imagine why anyone would care if someone puts out a "Christian Business Directory." Just about every town has one. It's another form of advertising, paid for by the businesses that are listed in it.

I suppose some folks use these directories and only buy from businesses which advertise in them, but I doubt that it is very many.

For my own part, I've been treated well by some Christian-run businesses, and ripped off by others. I can say the same thing about businesses that don't identify themselves by the religious beliefs of their owners.

It's just advertising.

Sort of like the car with the "Honk if you love Jesus" bummper sticker. You honk, and the driver gives you the finger. That's happened to me...just once. You can't tell a book, or a business, by its advertizing.

Oh shut your stupid mouth. Freedom includes freedom of association. Nothing is stopping local Jewish community, or atheists or Muslims or Hindus or Buddhists or Wiccans from publishing their own community directory.

If he can't get this right why should we listen to anything else he has to say?
