I've always thought that the teachings of Christ applied to you on an individual basis. Turn the other cheek is a message to individuals and not to the government.
Is it fair to say that the military or the police are all going to hell because they are risking their lives in combat or out on the streets to protect us?
Is there such a thing as a Christian soldier? The world isn't black and white.

Thats the problem with religious debate right there, the goalposts are moving in this sense because everyone who is religious has slightly different beliefs under a banner of whatever their religion is.
Its why I try to just fight the battle over a real issue, because the wide field discussion of religion is so confused over how people interpret it and how they live their particular beliefs.
This issue is so small in the scope of things, but we know its wrong what that company did and it should stop.
Now where have much more pressing things to attend to.
