I have all kinds of issues with the owners of Hobby Lobby, and I know what they did here was illegal, but I'm going to cut them some slack on this one. Antiquities are being destroyed all over the Middle-East right now. (Some of the destruction of Assyrian sites by ISIL is beyond the pale and so depressing...) "The West" has a long history (right or wrong) of taking artifacts back to museums and similar. It may not be right, but at least those artifacts are preserved. The number of things that have been destroyed just in the last couple of years over there is appalling.
That is the rationalization they will run with. The ends justifies the means.
And you are right - it is appalling what is going on in many of those mid-east countries - and so much of it perpetrated, or at least encouraged, by us. One good wrong deserves another... Perhaps what we could have done is NOT create situations that give rise to those groups...going back hundreds of years or so...?
Still lying. Still stealing. Still coveting what someone else has. (3 out of 10!) Still cheating. It is the massive hubris as shown by many years of previous 'good works' of the Green family.
Now, the big question...will I still buy there. Yeah, probably will. I will hold my nose at their hypocrisy and go on with life. But in addition to their past, from this, I know incontrovertibly what they are inside - and what they are NOT. But I deal with many non-Christians on a daily basis, because we live in a secular world for the most part. Eyes open - wide awake - always the best path.
