Who would be so foolish to buy magic weight-loss pills from a fat woman?

Comment on Dog, the Bounty Hunter by kelley

I love the whole show.. it’s serious comments, sometime over reacting and using prayer for guidance is wonderful. Dog and family should inspire those who have chosen a life of crime to know they too can pick up and have a better life. For heaven’s sake.. from drug abuse and crime to helping others and living in amazing luxury. There truly is a way for all of us to take the bad we lived and turn it around and use it to make good.

Religion is free - scientology is neither.

Comment on Cause-Related Marketing (CRM) vs. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by Tanmoy

Thanks for the differences.It has been ages that I have been confused on
these 2.Though I understand CRM now,CSR is still a bit of a grey area for me.Associating a brand to a social cause through CRM,well,as stated above,might not be more honest for the corporate brand,but yes,on the other hand,we should not forget that the social cause also gets a brand upliftment through the association of it with a commercial brand,which is extremely useful for the non-profit partner.These are reasons due to which not any and every non-profit brand makes a successful impact.I am able to say these stuff after being associated with the non-profit sector for a couple of years now.

I’ve heard both excellent and bad about Scientology. Allow me to believe some of every simply because I’ve seen it. But let’s talk about that. Compared to Christianity, Scientology is rather bland about controversy and terrible deeds. The Crusades, the Inquisition, the murder in the Cathars, the Salem witch trials. Heck, also the house arrest of Galileo was pretty awful. I am not going to dispute some of the bad points I’ve found out about Scientology which may or might not be true. All I can say is, I really hope the church cleans up its act. Any organization is made up of people, and some folks get carried away.

We deliver door hangers. We just had our first church customer the other day. It’s interesting to see how the world works.

Comment on Relate– a new tween magazine by Mara

Mimi,

There are different philosophies when it comes to faith–one suggests that God, or whatever you would like to call that force, is part of everything; the other sees that the sacred and the secular are held in two separate spaces. I write about the blending of the sacred and the secular often, and I don’t always think that is a bad thing (though I lean toward keeping them separate). However, seeing corporate logos on an altar goes over the line for me.

Why does there need to be such a separation? Isn’t faith about who we are and how we live? It’s a piece of the fabric of our lives. Separation is not the goal, but merging faith into everyday living. Or were you just justifying your new work?
