Did Moses work for a minimum wage?

Here’s another reason why religion and politics shouldn’t mix.
It makes for bad religion (and not the band either…).
Thanks to The Revealer for this one.

You might think that Christians would find this sort of lame, amateurish appeal to their religion to be insulting.
Heh. Don’t hold your breath.

Those same Christians might find it laughable and sophomoric.
I wonder which Christians you have in mind, Joel. Your comment seems to lump all Christians together. It leads me to believe you can’t imagine Christians that might be insulted by this “sort of lame, amateurish appeal to their religion.” Am I reading your comment right?

I can imagine them, yes. They just seem a little thin on the ground, out here in the real world. Call it a hunch, but something tells me they aren’t targeted at Buddhists.

I agree Bos. Poor taste.

Wow, sorry to change the subject guys, I just found a small piece of paper on my bed while cleaning it, maybe .5″x 1″ in size, that says ‘inspected by 42.’ No joke. I thought it was really freakin’ wierd…

I clicked on your link, Bos, but the page is empty ‘cept for the menu. Wonder if they pulled the offensive add off.
Of all the political things they could use religious figures for… minimum wage? What dork had that idea?

Does seem odd doesn’t it GAC? Kinda like pulling out the heavy artillary to shoot rabbits.

Yeah, if you’re going to use religious figures, then use it for gay marriage or abortion or something.
Minimum wage is kinda aiming low.

click on the moses image you should see there.
I don’t have a prob w/ moses and min. wage. I have a prob with the shallow theology this commercial presents. Christians need to be talking about fair wages, fair labor, making a decent and just living etc…

Americans need to be talking about fair wages, fair labor, making a decent and just living etc…

My last comment (10:24) contradicts my initial position that politics and religion shouldn’t mix. How can they not? It’s the manner in which one brings one’s religion to bear on politics that is crucial.

Or vice versa.

I don’t think one can separate religious and political beliefs. I think we must separate religion and government. Both religious and areligious people can govern, but the rules of government must be followed, not religious rules.

Amen.
