I am a photographer, and how would you like it if I refused service to you because you are a christian? And I believe you are morally wrong for supporting discrimination.

Really? That's just stupid, I definitely can indicate the verses on in-n-out and that DOESN'T mean I am going to stop buying burgers and fries from them. I mean that is just stupid in my opinion. Really idiotic discussion topic this guy brought up and "Friendly" atheist? I don't think so.

What is with those of you whose input was that Bible verses need to stay in church, etc. If you don't like the product or its message, then don't buy it. If someone advertised using Satanic verse, I wouldn't go near it. That's why God put us here, ladies and gentlemen, freedom of choice. But I am somewhat surprised that in 2010 some of you still expect Christians to keep God to themselves in private businesses. If you don't like it-don't shop there or ignore the message or buy different eggs. But where does anyone come off thinking that they retain the freedoms to tell people to keep their views to themselves, while expressing their own view that people do so? I see, freedom of speech is fine as long as it agrees with your views, right? God isn't the censor my peeps-but some of you are well on your way! What hypocrisy!! Yuk, I'll stick with God. Unreal.

That's the problem with america. Everyone is afraid to stand for their beliefs for they might offend someone. The Holy Bible tells us not to conform to this world. And to share His message of love throughout the entire world... Does this company have a right to serve their King with all of heart, mind, soul,and strength. ABSOLUTELY! We wouldn't even be having this discussion if it wasn't a Christian company... And we want to know why this at one time mighty country is losing favor across the globe... Deny Almighty Father God and He will take His plans to a nation that wants to hear His voice not choke it out! Come on america it's always God please bless america... How about AMERICA BLESS GOD! Keep on making these eggs and send them throughout this world! God bless Goldhen Egg Farms and everyone that helps keep these eggs supplying many people with a much needed resource! In Jesus' Name, AMEN! Deny Christ and He will deny you on that final judgment day! Are you ready to meet your maker? God bless us all!

Their prices are fairly low, and they have great specials. And I love it that they have egg suppliers that have the guts to put a Bible verse on the cartons. Some of us in America still have Christian morals, and are not afraid to speak up. And for a photographer to refuse to photograph a homosexual union or whatever is showing he is not afraid to show he believes it is morally wrong, like God says it is. I really love it at Easter time, when Aldi gets in some really great chocolate. Yummy!! Personally, I love Aldi. Their prices are fairly low, and they have great specials.

It just shows how intolerant the self-righteous hypocrites on the left are. Go ahead and pay the inflated prices at a unionized grocery store. But then again, isn't this really what this is about? Union vs. Non-Union? All this fuss over an Old Testament Scripture passage on a carton of eggs!

If everyone is atheist, why all the hullabaloo? Why not simply view this verse as a sentence from a writing from an uninformed, uneducated, backwards time in the history of civilization (just like Persian, Greek, and Roman mythology). There is no stated intent on the carton so why is everyone jumping to conclusions? With no stated intent you come to your own conclusions. If you conclude that they are trying to be evangelistic about it I think you are strangely misguided.

When I first saw this, my friend and I found it amusing and proceeded to draw little angels on the eggs since they were "holy." We also drew one egg with Dumbledore on it. He looked pretty smug.

It's a privately owned company that produces the eggs. They can put swastikas on them for all I care if the product is good. They have every right to do it. Meh, there’s no issue here.
