Here's an article about the culture.

LINK

That experience was in 2004. It completely changed my worldview.

Martin Luther had a quote - "The Christian shoemaker does not show that he is a Christian by sewing little crosses into his shoes. He shows he is a Christian by making good shoes."

I am skeptical of businesses and individuals that make the Christian aspect of business the main selling point. Not talking about places like Chick-fil-A and In-n-Out, Im talking about people that are in your face about it.

It seems any business, Christian centered or not, that focuses on their culture is cult-like.


I interviewed for a homebuilder in Houston once that my friend works at. I spent more time taking personality tests and seeing if I'd fit in with their culture than if I had the skills necessary to do the job.

They also made a comment about me wearing a suit. "We don't see people in suits here very often."

It made sense that my friend works there, as he and I have different views about the workplace, but it was extremely off-putting to me.

Additionally, the "culture" places pay like shite.

After reading that article, his reported paranoia makes sense. Word gets out on the house of cards he's built, and it could come crumbling down.


As others have said, I too am skeptical of businesses that emphasize their Christianity.

If you are doing business with a person who brings up church often or has conspicuously displayed christian jewelry you should beware. My experience anyway.

Also, if your financial advisor is a big vocal christian....run. Run far away.

Here's a line you can use. When I was in grad school having lunch a guy walked up to me and said "Do you know Jesus?"

I said "Do you know the opera singer Leontyne Price?"

He became befuddled and walked away.
