I like to think I put the fun in christian fundamentalist dogma. But these things are stupid.
The fact that companies must be worried that supporting a commemoration of a highly influential thinker show the distressing ineptitude of the average consumer – I think it really would hurt their sales.
All this over a guy who studied and devised a theory for something the church wasn’t equiped to explain, just so his faith would have a firmer foundation.
I figure your blog draws some decent thinkers, so maybe a third side will be analyzed on this oh-so-not black and white topic. Thanks for listening, I feel a bit better 🙂
