But as Genesis ends off, I'm reminded that what is abrasive and harsh in the text - the things I'd rather not read about - God uses it and even intendeds it all for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.Peter & Jen Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14616820526555352856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571296038401395494.post-23161093601136012582012-07-12T23:53:52.381-04:002012-07-12T23:53:52.381-04:00Dare I say this, but this controversy does seem a ...Dare I say this, but this controversy does seem a little like "holier than thou." Granted, the man who first objected is well within his SB right to motion for it, but to call for it to be removed on the basis of illogical principles escapes me. It does not follow that seeing or hearing profanities will produce the will to act in kind.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978242901338043731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571296038401395494.post-42075196940322358112012-07-12T21:04:25.272-04:002012-07-12T21:04:25.272-04:00I knew there was a post coming....
I need to read...I knew there was a post coming....<br /><br />I need to read through these links; thanks for putting them out there. From a strictly PR perspective, it wouldn't surprise me if Lifeway didn't want to do anything. Popular movie, popular stars. Maybe they didn't see the need to address the concerns of one person or contingent in the presence of solid sales and the possibility of bringing in a non-Christian buying audience.<br /><br />But, the larger question, which you asked, is why did Lifeway go ahead with selling this from the beginning? What are their standards for items featured in their stores? What was the lobbying point that made the tables turn?<br /><br />Denominations owning bookstores. There's probably a book in that, too....Sue J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08668691234427771146noreply@blogger.com
