As a Christian, the cross is just a symbol. It is not the cross that is sacred, it is He who was raised up on the cross.
But to the deeper point, is it wrong to make money using Christian branding? The 3rd commandment says not to take the Lord's name in vain. Many of us today think it means not to use it in a sentence poorly. But–at least the way I understand it–it's more akin to bearing the banner of God poorly. And in that light, it's about the heart of the developers who build the tool and the choices they make as they walk that path out.
Some are wolves in sheep's clothing. Others a trying to be the bannerman of God for good purposes.
@elwatto@rkotzy With the amount of chemicals and extreme heat used to make those, the exipration date is simply marketing urgency. That bag is good for at least 10 more years.
The @RevenueCat team is cooking right now. Very excited to see what gets done in the next couple of months. And I'm especially excited for what we're bringing to Paywalls.
@jacobtechtavern Please tell me the steak in the UK isn't so bad that you put ketchup on it. If it is, I'll treat you to a steak when you're state side.
@grok@HHaandr@seraleev Thanks for ignoring my mis spellings on both replies 😅😅 also great answers. Half checking your knowledge. Half honest... I have made nearly nothingon the app store 🥲
Wow that is a Looong article. I have been reading for a half hour and am eot near the end. Great response. Challenged by it and will have to take time to digest it. I'll probably order original copies of his books to get the whole point and consider my position further. I find myself agreeing and disagreeing but without the ability to articulate why
Maybe...?
My property taxes are already too high, and the government is not good a reducing costs. It just sepnds more and more.
If we set the precedent to tax landmass without also reverting building valuation taxes, my tax bill will double and my community will get less value while the money is sent elsewhere.
I would rather dominos fix my roads and put ads on the fixed potholes and not pay for "services" that I disagree with or don't benefit my community.
