Is it wrong to profit from Christian stupidity?
I live in the Bible Belt of North Carolina. There is a place called The Christian Family Book Store near me. I briefly had a girlfriend who worked there, so I visited several times. What I saw amazed me. In this weak economy, they had three cash registers with three lines of customers wrapped around the store all day, every day. The store sold Christian books, but also tons of "sanctified" household items. There were Jesus lamps, fish ashtrays, Jesus board games, and crosses painted on or attached to just about anything you can think of.
My point is, I could go to the Dollar Tree and fill my van with low budget items. By adding crosses, fish, or other Christian symbols to the items, I increase their value by ridiculous amounts. A three dollar hammer becomes a 18 dollar hammer. A five dollar broom becomes a 25 dollar broom.

I had no idea you were in NC Edward! Hey neighbor! BTW I think we should do it and use it to help Atheists who are underwater on their mortgages and have unpaid college loans! Freaks need to be paying taxes anyway...

I say go for it. If that's what trips their trigger, then make a profit! You're not MAKING them buy the stuff.

It'd be like selling Dallas Cowboys memorabilia to fans in Texas. Yeah, you know it is crap, but you're providing something to the ignorant masses that they really & truly want, at a "fair" price. What's immoral about that? Supply & demand.

Randall Smith posted a blog postThe Rednecks are coming, the Rednecks are coming
Actually, the rednecks are here and everywhere. Let me say, I'm not a big fan of these people. That's putting it mildly. Need I describe them? You know who I mean.This seems to be the time of year when they come out of the woodwork. Here in Indiana, as the weather gets nice, the motorcyclists are out in full force. I hate the noise cycles make. Then there's the Indianapolis 500 fans, the majority of which are rednecks. Interview them or a typical Pacer fan (big news as they face the Miami…See More
