This is why I roll my eyes at evangelicals. They use the Bible as a weapon to defend that which they don't agree with but they will elect Trump who does much worse and now this:
"The Department of Justice filed a civil complaint in New York, and announced that Hobby Lobby had agreed to the fine and to forfeit thousands of antiquities including cuneiform tablets and clay bullae that prosecutors said were smuggled through the United Arab Emirates and Israel to the United States using deliberately false labeling practices."
You mean one of your many excuses for the robbery here?
PizzaGate did not steal millions in PRE-CHRIST antiquities which belonged to another country and people.
I'm sure you would approve if some "christians" bought Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell under the pretense that they were ceramic samples for their shop.
You don't rise to a level worthy of debate. Next....
"Hobby Lobby wired $1.6 million to seven different bank accounts associated with five different people to pay for the items. The artifacts were shipped to the United States in multiple packages falsely labeled “Tiles (Sample).†They were also sent to multiple locations. As the complaint notes, “The use of multiple shipping addresses for a single recipient is consistent with methods used by cultural property smugglers to avoid scrutiny by Customs.†On customs forms, the UAE dealer supplied false invoices that substantially undervalued the pieces, presumably as a way to avoid customs inspection."
And, their excuse is that they didn't know much about importing stuff. Looks like they learned really fast on how to import that kind of stuff. Wonder how on earth they actually manage to import the products for their stores if they are so "naive".

Agree, it's a very lame excuse.
Almost or just as lame as 'Speaker Paul Ryan has tried to explain away Donald Trump's behaviour towards former FBI Director James Comey by saying that the President is "new at this, new to government"."
Hobby Lobby doesn't support whorish women, what's the problem with that?
They support whorish men, right? Do they pay for Rx for viagra or any ED stuff?
I guess what you are saying is that Corporations are above the law. Which, according to the present leadership of this country and the SCOTUS, is 100% true.
That doesn't make it right.
In any case I'll never walk into that store again...but this thread is about them and their 9 commandments. Or, we can make it about their support of a serial adulterer - or someone who bears false witness and steals. You know - our POTUS.
Orthodox Christian belief is that one can lose their salvation due to bad intent or action. This requires repeated examination of conscience, the firm ongoing intention to avoid sin in all forms and positive acts of love and kindness toward others as if they were Christ Himself. We all fall short of this lofty measure in some way because of our inherent flaws but we must recognize that, seek forgiveness and work to overcome them.
Some unorthodox apparently believe that once saved a person can not lose their salvation, incredible as it may seem there are even those who believe that material prosperity is a sign of God's favor, it seems to have been very popular belief among some Protestants at times, perhaps even now.
In other words, Hobby Lobby kept illegally buying artifacts cause he believes he already has a first class pass to heaven.
