    Yes, but I won't shop at Target. I don't like Wal Mart either because Sam Walton doesn't own it anymore and they won't say Merry Christmas.

    Sorry, I somehow didn't read the first post.

    Anyways, here's some info on the non-christian nature of walmart. Their stuff comes at a high cost, regardless of the price on the tag. From family businesses shutting down to bad working conditions (like REALLY bad) to producing everything they sell in sweatshops, I always feel dirty when I walk in there, so I only go if I can't find what I'm looking for anywhere else.

    I like Target, its like Wal-Mart, but with better taste.

    Im not christian, and I shop at a christian grocery
    store all the time. The people give you bibles,
    gospel tapes and have a prayer box by the door.

    They dont force it, but its there. Hell, some one
    the women even wear headscarfs and long dresses,
    but they are nice, and have great prices.

    Who cares if the "dont steal" sign references
    going to hell lol.

    I know this was for christians only, but i wanted
    to offer the reverse perspective.

    Burning Bush to Moses, "I Am That I Am"

    Name of God proclaimed by Jesus, "I Am That I Am"

    AMERICA = I AM Race ... rearrange letters of america and you get "I Am Race"

    some people compare current United States of America reality with that of the Roman Empire and its collapse but one big differance they are overlooking is that the Roman Empire didn't have the mandate of God whereas the United States of America has the mandate of God... America = I Am Race

    this stuff is really quite fascinating if you think about it

    Or it could be America because of Amerigo Vespucci. What does I am race even mean? Do you think god named America? And America's not even a country it's a set of continents. Does Columbia have a mandate too?

    The Roman Empire invented your religion dipshit. It was the Roman Empire that
    spread Christianity like wild fire.

    As to "I Am that I Am" to Moses, that was Yahwehs smart assed "take my word for it" attempt to convince Moses that he was in fact the god of Abraham when Moses questioned him.

    In the Hebrew language at that time, there wasnt the abstraction of I am that I am meaning something divine, it meant "I said it, take my word for it"

    we have to claim the mandate as god's chosen people. accross this great land are heard whore moans coming from the many brothels and now whore moans are being injected into cows to increase milk production as many are drinking sin.
