One just might close up shop and walk away- if their God was big enough.
The solution to the problems, for some of us, is let God have all of it. If it were me, I would use the opportunity to make a big splashy stand- and let everyone know.

You can sit here posturing on Free Republic from the comfort of your armchair, but you've never faced what the owners of Hobby Lobby are facing. Proclamations such as yours aren't borne from real world experience, but small-minded, solidified personal views.
Walk a mile in a business owner's shoes before you cast judgment on what they should or should not do in this case.
