You remember Hobby Lobby don't you? It's the company that is so Christian that they wouldn't cover employees for birth control medication because it was against their strict Christian beliefs. Well, they're in the news today, because of their strict Christian belief that it's okay to steal artifacts from the middle east.
Ya see, as evangelical Christians, the owners of Hobby Lobby felt it was okay to illegally buy artifacts from private dealers who had no right to sell them, and Hobby Lobby knew it. So now they're being forced to give them all back to Iraq and or their rightful owners. That, and pay a $3 million fine.
Now I don't know what you may think of this latest development but I think that either the evangelical Christians that own Hobby Lobby are just a tad two faced or just plain crooks playing at being pious. Either way, they don't deserve any consideration for their past calls for special treatment. Too bad the decision to let them ignore contraceptives coverage can't be reversed because they've shown themselves to be anything but the Christians they said they were. I guess you could call them CINOs (Christians In Name Only).
That's because true believers wouldn't steal anything. It's not what Christianity is all about. And it's not like one or two items happened to fall into their hands by mistake. There were 5500 pieces of antiquities involved from more then one dealer. Hardly a simple misunderstanding. Way to go. How do you feel now Two Face?
