I dont see it as them pushing their religion, its not like on their website it says "buy from us or God will hate you" or something like that. If they put faith in God to help them with their business and it helped them get to the point of where they are at, then more power to them. Skyjacker is known as a "religious" company because of what they sell as far as stickers, oh and my buddy who does Jeepspeed out in California, is also sponsored by Skyjacker. Though you may think that it doesnt belong in this sport/hobby, thats your opinion but it wouldnt make me not buy something from them for their religious beliefs. Both companies dont post it all over their website, Skyjacker just sells a sticker(s) that says Jesus Rocks, which I actually have for my ZJ, because not to get way off topic here…

When we do club runs, whether it be to Cliff's, Badland, whatever and whether I am there or not, I always pray before we set off for the day(s) to make sure everyone is safe, that I am safe and the people in the park stay safe because with my line of work I do (firefighter) I see a lot of things the normal person doesnt see. I have been to ground zero-my Uncle died there that day, one of the 343 and my father who is also a 20 yr firefighter both went to New Orleans after Katrina.

So with that said just because a company may have a certain religious belief and they want to promote that on their website, thats what makes it their company and website. Its only the weak minded that would get offened by something as small as a sticker(s) or company's name. But that just me and everyone has a right to their own opinion.

I think you are mistaking my issue with people pushing their religion through a business with some kind of an issue with the faith in general.  you are also making the mistake of thinking anything about it offends me, I just feel it is not professional; I do not walk into a customer or prospective client and declair my faith because it is something that has no place in a business setting.

I believe that peoples religious belief are there business and no one else's. I choose to not do business with people who advertise their beliefs, which JCR used to do on their website.  It's my choice to do this just like it is their choice to display it and your choice to display your faith.  You have to keep in mind my issue is not with their faith but with there decision to make it a part of their business.

I find it interesting that you would call people who disagree with peoples faith or choices weak minded when you are arguing with someone for not agreeing with what you think when it comes to faith…  Just because people hold different views then you it does not make them weak minded, it just makes them different.  Please note I did not say anythign negative about people of faith just that I do not do business with people who bring it into a business setting; also notice I said I like JCRs products and think they are a good company; I just won't buy from them.

Deeds not words.
