Hobby Lobby should be run out of business

If I were going to subversively purchase a relic… And knew that I was making a black market purchase….. Wouldn’t it be foolish of me to plan to display the piece in a museum?

 

It just occurred to me. This thread is in the religion section of the forum. Is Hobby Lobby a professed Christian based business? Is that the underlying misdeed here?…… Just as an aside, my daughter lives in Oklahoma City where that company is based. Their facilities in Oklahoma are unbelievably massive. Many, many city blocks are consumed by Hobby Lobby corporate facilities. I was stunned when I saw them…. I haven’t researched this, but I would bet my bottom dollar they are likely among the largest job creators in central Oklahoma.

 

Auschwitz employed a lot of people.

 

Some people are just destined to be jerks . . .

 

you're right, they shouldn't be running a business and injecting their bigoted beliefs. We're talking about hobby lobby, right? jerks

 

Oblivious jerks, at that . . .

 

Oh you are right. Anyone that has the presence of mind to create a corporation that large certainly has no business running a business. Oh heck no….. I just wonder…. Were they, Chick-filet or any corporate facility be preaching agnostic beliefs….. Would they no longer be bigoted jerks?? Really, who is the bigot in this discussion? Go ahead. Take a peak in the mirror.

 

read em and weep, bigots

Simply do not like these types of pseudo-Christians. They think that America is their Devine right and that they literally believe God gave this country to them. They are whack jobs. American Taliban.

Hobby Lobby advocates for a Christian-run government in Independence Day ads placed in many national newspapers

On Independence Day, Hobby Lobby ran an advertisement in many newspapers across the country that advocated for a Christian-run government.

The ad, under the title "One Nation Under God," included the biblical verse: "Blessed is the Nation whose God is the lord."

The full-page ad featured three columns that quote former US presidents and other historical figures, as well as Supreme Court rulings about Christianity.

"It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor," the ad reads in part, quoting George Washington.

In a holiday message posted on its website, Hobby Lobby said they'd been placing holiday advertisements since founder David Greene felt "commissioned" by God to make them after he saw advertisements during the 1995 Christmas season.

"Before long, Hobby Lobby was placing beautiful full-page ads celebrating the real meaning of Christmas, Easter, and Independence Day in newspapers across the country. The impact and relevancy of these messages is ongoing," the message said.

Some who saw the ad were upset at the call for combining Church and State.

"A full-page ad by @HobbyLobby in newspapers today ignoring the separation of church and state. I never will set foot in a ⁦@HobbyLobby⁩, which believes America should be a theocracy," commentator Terry Blount wrote on Twitter.

An Oregon resident who saw the ad in the Register-Guard called it "absolutely frightening," and encouraged people not to shop at Hobby Lobby.

Hobby Lobby has been entangled in a number of controversies recently. In April 2020, it closed all of its stores nationwide and furloughed employees after it was caught defying coronavirus-related state lockdown and quietly reopened stores across the country.

In September, shoppers called for a boycott against the company after an image showed a display of decorative letters arranged to read "USA Vote Trump," inside a store went viral.

 

Joe, I am a professed and practicing Christian man. I have made no bones about that.... I will say that I did read the link that @FryDaddyJr posted earlier that showed headlines about these folks antics over the years. No, I was not proud. I had no idea and yes I have to agree that these folks are overstepping the boundaries of good conduct. I had no idea and won't put my good name on the line in support of their actions. I should have studied on them before I spoke.

 

I think that they are right up there with the MyPillow guy. Christianity is perfectly fine with me until they start trying to take over in the name of God. Believe anything you want to believe and I will support your right to do so right up to the moment you try to make me believe the same crap. You're not that kind of Christian. I've known a few in my life that talked the talk and walked the walk but damn few. Some of them just can't help themselves.

 

I commend your willingness to gain a better understanding of a topic and revise your position based on that understanding.

 

you are a reasonable person

 

HB is a favorite whipping boy of the left just like Chick - Filet, Home Depot and any other Christian or conservative business. Of course, rarely will anyone bash perceived good corps that donate and vote their way. I will say it’s not a good business model to bring politics or social beliefs inside a store...JMO. I urge everyone to take any supportive link for a position or belief with a grain of salt until you have done your own research regardless of who posts it. It’s human nature to read/watch/follow media that they tend to agree with. Interestingly, the link FD posted has an almost the identical news snippet as the one JN originally posted and it also sources itself, Facebook, Twitter and a couple others. Does this mean it’s wrong or it’s a political hit piece? I don’t know. But, before I took it as fact I would do a little research.
