Here we go... Ryan's def.---
It seems that in every group, whether “religious” or other, there is always going to be someone giving a bad name to whatever you believe in. Christianity is not exempt of this. There are many “Christians” out there in the world doing things supposedly in the name of Christ, but ultimately pushing non-believers further and further away from accepting the truth of Jesus and the bible. Now I know that no one is perfect, and legitimate, God-fearing Christians can make some of the worst mistakes, but I think there is a difference between these mistakes and taking a big part in jeopardizing the validity of Christ to the people around you.
One thing Christ is not, is a product. There is a fine line between selling Christian products as a witnessing tool and selling Christian products purely for personal profit. I believe that there are ways to make a comfortable living within the Christian business world and still be focused on the spreading of the gospel. I think that some people need to evaluate just what they’re selling when it has Jesus’ name stamped on it. Is it something that is going to make Him look much less important than He really is?

@knocloo27 makes the condemning words "another nail you'll get" seem all that much more of a scary thought.
