DanaC 01-21-2010 11:16 AM

But the company has been doing this forever, they couldn't/can't predict who the sights would be used against.

I wasn't saying that's why the company put them on. Just that it is obvious why it might be seen as offensive/dodgy.

But unless it's intentional, then making any offensive connection is tenuous, ie reaching.

He wore new suit, and immediately got run over by a bus carrying an ad for a rival suitmaker. Should the widow be offended by the rival suitmaker?

Oh and . . . . :sniper:

John:8:12 “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’”

2COR4:6, a reference to part of the second letter of Paul to the Corinthians: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ,"


Of course it is referring to the Christian God bringing light. Whoever follows Jesus will never walk in darkness: the flipside to that is that those who don't follow him, may well walk in darkness.

People who have a flashlight will never walk in darkness does not mean, people without a flashlight will walk in darkness.

DanaC 01-21-2010 12:16 PM

Now I think you're reaching :P

xoxoxoBruce 01-21-2010 12:24 PM

au contraire, I'm the one not reaching. I accept 2 + 2, without trying to make 4.

classicman 01-21-2010 12:32 PM

Bruce gets it.

Because "A" is true, doesn't necessarily mean that the inverse of "A" is false.

Damn...how are specific references to New Testament passages - Second Corinthians 4:6 and John 8:12 - not references to Christianity?

It's not a question of where they come from, but what the passages say, and more importantly to Dana, what they imply.

They imply light is provided through Jesus Christ.

But we've reached that point of agreeing to disagree.

And to Dana:
