1. When they start talkin' about Jesus,

ya better hang onto your wallet.

[leftchick]

3. no, no!

[KoKo]

21. I don't know WHY this was moved to Lounge..because it's such a

great read that all of us could understand and want to know about. But, I will give it a BIG KICK for my FUNDIE RELATIVES!

Thanks for the find. One stop shopping...I guess. :eyes:

Thanks!

[leftchick]

23. it is strange

I can not for the life of me figure out the censorship. oh well.

:hi:

[KoKo]

24. It's "transition time"

probably that's what it was...with the mods....New Jobs, etc. :shrug:

anyway thanks again for the post...:hi:

[rpannier]

2. That is one of the most inane things I've seen in years

150 years ago he'd be riding into town in a wagon with his 'Miracle Cure Ointments'

PT Barnum was right...There's a sucker born every minute.

on edit:
You can tell I'm a good christian because I say I am and I love you.

[niyad]

4. when are people going to learn the difference between "who" and

"that"

[niyad]

5. we should thank them for letting us know who to avoid.

[leftchick]

6. lol!

good point. I check property online daily and just ran across this. I thought wtf? I imagine it turns off a lot more folks than it appeals to.

[Big Kahuna]

7. This has nothing to do with Christian Realtors

since it is obviously the lendors that the ones that are sinning.. :puke:

but I wonder how they feel about lendors charging interest? Loaning money with interest is clearly discouraged in the bible and the Koran. Judging by our current situation, of living in an economy that requires the unrealistic expectation of exponential growth all the time, to not collapse... Maybe those old codgers had a good point?

[AlamoDemoc]

12. from the movie "The Big Kahuna" the character in the movie Larry sais:

Larry Man: Do I strike you as a particularly religious man, Phil?

Phil Cooper: Not even the slightest.

Larry Mann: Then why am I seized with a sudden overwhelming desire to pray?

Phil... man, we're in Witchita, Kansas. What does it matter whether we're on the 1st floor or the 500th floor? It all looks the same!

Larry Mann: When Jesus comes back he's going to have to give them a 2 day advanced notice, so they can make one of those little graph things.

Larry Mann: Did you mention perhaps what line of industrial lubricants Jesus would have endorsed?

[MazeRat7]

8. If you want to make money, pander to the faithful. Religion sells. (n/t)

[jriles]

9. Not New At All

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out but Christians have been selling real estate for years. Can you guess where?

[Raine]

10. This is the last one

I would ever trust to do business with, they'll screw you over every time.

[etherealtruth]

11. This is one of those things that I shrug my shoulders and say "whatever"

... I prefer that they advertise this way. I can then make an informed decision and stay the hell away from them. It's the ones that catch me unaware and proselytize that I can't take.

[Human Torch]

13. Here's a little secret about "real" Christians...

...when they see a business advertise itself with slogans like "Looking for a Real Estate Agent that answers to a Higher Authority," they avoid that business like the plague.

It really is a "red flag," a "what is this person trying to hide" warning signal.

:patriot:

[Evoman]

27. Um...actually...there is a christian on this board who

will pick a christian company over a non-christian company because they are ...um...aknowledgeding their humility.

[Zebedeo]

28. Thank you

for acknowledging me ;)

[Evoman]

29. Lol

I would never say your name or call you out in any way, but since you freely acknowledge it....

I'm REALLY suprised that you choose christian companies (who advertise their christianity). Next your going to tell me you like Christian rock...lol.

I do respect your honesty, however.

[beam me up scottie]

30. I would LOVE to make people who support christian workplaces work in a

"muslim" workplace for a month or so, just to see how THEY like having to involuntarily practice someone else's religion.

Or what it's like to fear losing your job if you come out of the closet.

[Zebedeo]

33. I wouldn't choose to work for an employer that forced

the employees to practice Islam. It's that simple. I would never have to worry about losing my job, because I wouldn't take the job in the first place.

[beam me up scottie]

35. So you do support intolerance and discrimination at christian workplaces.

What a shock.

I suppose it's useless to point out how illiberal and un-American that is.

[Zebedeo]

32. Creed is awesome

So is Casting Crowns. Here's one of their hits from this year:

Praise You in This Storm
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms

I was sure by now, God You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.

Chorus:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away

Chorus

I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Chorus

Here's a Creed song from 1999:

Higher

When dreaming I'm guided through another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To the place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine


How about this one, written by Todd Rundgren and performed famously by England Dan and John Ford Coley:

Name your price
A ticket to paradise
I can't stay here any more
And I've looked high and low
I've been from shore, to shore, to shore
If there's a short cut I'd have found it
But there is no easy way around it

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer

Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls
And we are never heard
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world
People turn their heads
And walk on by
Tell me is it worth just another try

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer

Tell me, are we alive
Or just a dying planet
(What are the chances)

Ask the man in your heart
For the answer

And when you feel afraid
(Love one another)
When you've lost your way
(Love one another)
And when you're all alone
(Love one another)
And when you're far from home
(Love one another)
And when you're down and out
(Love one another)
And when your hopes run out
(Love one another)
And when you need a friend
(Love one another)
And when you're near the end
(Love)
(We've got to love)
(We've got to love one another)

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all
Set us free
Love is the answer...



Yeah, Christian rock is great. Beats the hell out of death metal.

[beam me up scottie]

37. Creed sucked.

Stapp is nothing but a lousy Eddie Vedder wanna-be.


Eddie's the man.

Just ask T.G. Grannie.

[karlrschneider]

14. I do believe Jesus had a few things to say about money lending and

profits...
:eyes:

[leftchick]

16. exactly!

:thumbsup:

[TechBear_Seattle]

26. When God loves you, you will be very rich?

The "gospel of prosperity" has been around for centuries, and has made quite a revival (pardon) on the televangelist circuit in the last few decades.

[beam me up scottie]

31. Can I get an Amen for Brother Dollar?

:rofl:

I swear I thought his infomercial was a spoof the first time I saw one.

[varkam]

34. Ahhh yess...the good Rev. Bling-bling.

:D

[beam me up scottie]

36. Creflo Dollar, God's banker.

Motto:

Because He wants you to be rich.

And hey, someone has to de-fleece the flock!

[and-justice-for-all]

15. They're selling Jesus again..nt

[Generic Other]

17. Will they have covenants on their deeds restricting sales by creed?

No Jews allowed kind of thing? That's how it used to be in many neighborhoods. Is this a code for that kind of realtor? One who will find you the right kind of neighbors?

[leftchick]

19. those are very valid questions

sadly. :(

[kevinbgoode]

18. Hahaha. . .do they screen buyers for religious correctness?

We have one in our area called "Divine Realty" I think. . .another inspired business from God.

[mr_hat]

20. Jesus actually was a realtor

during those lost years.

Sold the shit out of lots around Lake Gesthemane.

[patrice]

22. I refuse to do business with those who trade on the name of the Lord of

Love.

Is there NOTHING that isn't about Money?

[Random_Australian]

25. *giggle* My scam detector just went off the scale!

And what further is there to say? Pretty much nothing, really.

[ikojo]

38. At least if they advertise their fundie status I know I'm going to

get ripped off from day one....forewarned is forearmed or so they say.

I will not secure the services of anyone who feels the need to advertise their religiosity. I prefer to let actions speak for their devotion. Too often, from what I've seen, claiming a born again faith is carte blanche for engaging in all types of malfeasance but not expecting to be held accountable.

[SPKrazy]

39. I Think "Christian" Businesses Is Such A Lame Marketing Strategy

that I find it comical everytime I see something like this.

I'll have to admit, this is a good one! LOL

When I buy my Christian built house, from my Christian realtor, and have my Christian plumber come and work on my Christian house, does this please God?

Those who prey on those who are gullible in this respect have been around for as long as there have been humans (much longer than 6000 years I imagine)

Martin Luther stood up to exploitation by the church, now we can stand up to these charlatans by speaking out against them, and certainly by not using their services.

[beam me up scottie]

40. 99% of the businesses here are owned by christians.

The ones who choose to advertise that fact don't get mine.

They seem to think their fishies let others know that not only are they better than non-christians, they're better than the other christians who don't advertise as well.

What it lets me know is that they're bigots and more likely to be dishonest because of their hypocrisy.
