6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Hmmm.... What does that have to do with God Bless the USA?

. I'm sure the business put it on there on purpose, which I suppose is the business owner's perogative, but the message is a strange one with the attribution to the bible and all.

6. Everybody knows God favors America. It says so in the Bible. |
|
Actually, what Galatians 6:10 says is this: "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."

9. Not disputing whether it's their right or not. |
|
The message and the attribution to the bible is just strange.
That's all.

11. Ah the sword drill...how did that go. |
|
Attention, salute, draw swords....or something like that.
Galations 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Hey, what about the rest of us.

14. After shopping and hearing kids and parents scream at |
|
each other half the day at various stores, I really don't remember WHAT they tasted like.
So unremarkable is what they were, but for the strange message on the wrapper.

21. either one of the most sublimely brilliant jokes (and PR) this decade... |
|
or one of the most laughable displays of stupidity fostered through belligerant nationalism.
honestly, this belongs up there with 'morans.' unbelievable. and i really don't know which is it, a joke or a... 'joke.'

20. I assume the owner is trying to say that s/he is both... |
|
a patriot and a bible lover. A bit scary, though I doubt s/he was trying to say that that phrase was actually in the bible, though it may appear so. Note that the statement and the Bible citation are in different colors of ink.

23. No, it doesn't have anything to do with law & religion merging. |
|
Maybe more like religion, nationalism, and corporatism merging.
