Didn't Hobby Lobby get busted for stealing antiquities from Iraq?

1. Pretty sure the owners got caught, and had to return them

But that was it.

They are rich, white 'Christians', so ... benefit of the doubt and all. "You gave 'em back, so no harm, no foul".

I would never set foot in a Hobby Lobby and hope that nobody else here on DU would.

2. I have hated and boycotted Hobby Lobby (Satan's A-hole as we refer to it) for years.

I marvel at any company’s stupidity that blatantly discriminates against a big chunk of the country’s population that they need to spend money in their stores or risk going bankrupt. Not a real smart Capitalist move. Satan’s A-hole seems to think it is some twisted retail/church hybrid.

And they’re out and out thieves, to boot.

3. Article VI, clause 3.

“. . . but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

When Marion Robertson was running for President, he announced he would not appoint or nominate anyone to a position who was not a christian or jew. Apparently Yale Law School didn’t have a class on the Constitution.

6. Old Pat? That f'er is 92. Why is he still here. And I can't find that he said that but I believe!

9. Check this:

Pertinent excerpt:

Pat Robertson states in his 1991 book, The New World Order, that only Christians and Jews should be appointed to public office.

I know he said it in his 1988 campaign, too.

10. Hey, thanks. Wasn't doubting. I seemed to recall that. TG he lost. Now it's time to go, Pat.

4. They bought/were in possession of looted artifacts, yes. They have also bought lots of forgeries.

IIRC, they bought forgeries which were supposedly Dead Sea scrolls or akin to them, among other things. I don't recall the exact nature of the stolen Iraqi artifacts they acquired.

And by "they" in the above I don't mean Hobby Lobby the company proper, but rather the owners/founders and their pet project bible museum organization.

5. More than once actually

7. if they only want 'real' Christians to run the country

I would love to see them give TraitorTrump some kind of test to prove he was a 'christian.'

Q: What was Jesus last name?
A: Fucking Christ

Q: Who was Peter?
A: what Jesus called hi wee-wee

Q: Who was Mary?
A: some whore in Florida

Q: What is the first commandment?
A: Fuck around and find out.............................

12. Hobby Lobby should be the last ones to spew Christianity.

They stole artefacts and knew it, and, as stated on this site, more than once. Christian hypocrites. The worst kind.
Jesus would never have done that.
I’ve never been to a HL and never will.

13. Yup! Fuck Hobby Lobby!

I flat out refuse to live in a fascist totalitarian religious state. The Christian white wing can go get royally fucked.

14. Not sure how they avoided jail, but yes they did.

15. Appears HLobby was only able to keep the tacky bits that nobody wants. nt
