Eggland's Holiest [View all]
I just had to drive behind a big truck with the entire back emblazoned with Christ on the cross and a paragraph or two from the Gospel of John. The truck was transporting Eggland eggs....as the logo on the side informed me.
I find it obnoxious and bad business to use the very visible, with a sorta captive audience (driving behind the truck), shoving their religion down my throat rather than advertising their product. It's that inserting religion into everything that irks me. Are they selling eggs or Christ? I don't mind bill boards for Jesus or churches advertising, but this trumpeting that you are a "christian company"... like that is some kind of asset.... you see much more than ever I don't get. Will I be looked down on by Eggland for being an atheist or, even, a Jew or Hindu. It seems like bad business, smug and somehow divisive to me.
I know this is just eggs, but what if your optometrist, say, had a jesus fish on his business card. (I went to one that did....once) Do you really want a doctor that wears his beliefs in Bronze Age superstitions on his sleeve to operate on your eyes?
To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven, y'know. Sometimes, a 10 foot crucifix is not in the "season". It's just tacky!
Anyway..... just needed to complain.... not about religion putting itself out there, but loudly pushing into every little thing, like eggs and trucking. Meanwhile, mild mannered Richard Dawkins is a rabid radical screaming atheist! Uh huh......
Be sure to get Eggland's best! They taste more holy!
