**** Notice **** This is my opinion, and I don't care if you don't like it! **** Notice ****


CC is a business, where they are trying to make as much money.

CC is not using christianity to better their image in their market.

CC is not using christianity to sell boats.

CC is not forcing you to be christian to buy a boat.

CC IS using thier market share and dominance to spread christianity.

This is the big difference I see in most company's use of christianity. Most companies want you to think they are honest, loyal, trustworthy, etc... when they proclaim they are christians. CC just wants to let you know about the good news of Jesus Christ, and what he has done for you. The boats just allow them to do this.

CC is not saying, "Buy or boat because we are christians."

CC is saying, "You bought our boat, would you like to know Jesus Christ?"

Why not price boats at a point where all workers could be paid decently, and the suits make a very comfortable living and pass saving to their customers, maybe it is just me but I detect some greed, is that christian?

Communist?

[Onthewater]

no, that would a form of government, not a company that claims to be based on good christian beliefs.

i digress

The assumption that christians are good people or because of their religion they're better people is wrong. I simply do not believe that to be true whatsoever. Do you guys honestly believe that "Christians" are "better people" some how? Because they accepted "Jesus Christ" into their life they are somehow less foulable? It would really appear that way.

I agree with onthewater. It IS about the money.

Yes, well sort of. Not less foulable, but less likely to run afoul.

[bscott]

Either way. Kudos to CC for using an outside firm to search for a replacement.

[patoloco]

I don't think its necessarily about the money.

Considering one of Christianity's primary directives is to persuade non-believers to join the religion...I think CC believes that they can make a good profit and....maybe convert a few people along the way. Thus making a living and "pleasing God" all in the same work. Full well knowing they are probably losing a certain amount of customers because of it.

If it was only about the money, there are tons of others ways to show you are honest, trustworthy, etc. while not using something as sensitive as religion and alienating all the Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist potential customers in the US.

I got your, bud....son.

Being Catholic, I always wonder whether the people in this world who subscribe to the theory that we are here because of a lightning strike in a pond millions of years ago, will hold true to that belief at the hour of their death if they are aware that it is imminent.

That said, if CC built a junk product, I wouldn't buy it. Period!!! The fact they openly admit to being Christains, is just a plus for me.

I build high quality homes for a living............and for a fair profit for what I provide. I don't build them for wages or for the practice. Being a Christain helps drive my conscience on day to day decisions. If I had a pentagram for a logo, I suspect my business would suffer.

Just my humble opinion guys. Regards to ALL!!! :grin:

you cannot honestly tell me all christians (being one myself) act in good faith and have a consience, or are we talking about every sunday in church and then some bible thumpers?

[redelf75]

Gee, how can I comment on all the above without sounding too pompous and not offending anyone and be funny and witty at the same time, but still get a very profound message across? I can't!

Did my son elicit all this discussion? 'Cause if he did, I'm very proud of him. He is not afraid to admit he's Jewish in an open forum where it's obvious that he stands as a minority and risks heavy attack. Also, that he has accepted and acknowledges that one's religion, color or race has no effect on one's professional ability. To do this at 16, puts him way ahead in the game. Way to go Austin!

[scottrob]

wow - I am away for like 12 hours and 30 posts go by. My statement on Gary Meloon was two independent statements.

It would not surprise me if he had a shot at that role, given his experience in the business. I think his abilities used to promote CC for the past several years can meld well with establishing the strategic direction for the company. When you think about them moving in a new VP of Marketing and him moving out, now this CEO change - that seems slightly convenient, don't you think?

The comment on his values was one to echo my concurrence with comments about them being a christian / family oriented company and the statements about CC working with Church camps, etc. were true. This just sets a value image to the public that they care more about people than they do about boats. Not to be mistaken for charity - they are in the business to make money.

If you talk to the guys in Ohio - let them know - I'd love to catapult CC into the future with that job. :twisted:

[SGY]

Austin, would it have bothered you less if the news release indicated that he "is a deeply religious man" as opposed to a "Christian man"? If not, then what does your being Jewish have to do with it? In other words, what bothers you, the mention of Christianity or the mixing of business and religion? Your statement describing your religious beliefs tends to indicate that its the former.
