NOT your territory!

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
Today's post is in regards to a gross error in judgment made by a spokesman from the Church of Jesus Christ/Latter-Day Saints. I am not "slamming" any one's faith; this is just another example about how the Church in America, regardless of denomination, brazenly enters realms that do NOT belong to them. If you are likely to be offended by this post, do not read on. However, it is my hope to stimulate rational thinking, and that the reader should realize that I am not "poking fun" at the LDS; rather, I am only pointing out that people should always keep church in its place and business in theirs.
Oh, come ON. You CAN'T be serious. Here's another case (from the AP) on... treading where angels fear to tread, pardon the pun.
Mormon church objects to angel T-shirt
TAYLORSVILLE, Utah - For a coffee shop, T-shirts of a Mormon angel with java flowing into his trumpet are selling well. But they don't have the blessing of religious leaders.
The shirts have upset the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Not only is Moroni a revered figure — Mormons believe he appeared to church founder Joseph Smith — but LDS members are discouraged from drinking coffee.
The shirts show the angel Moroni, a male figure in a robe blowing a trumpet. The trumpet is turned up at an angle as coffee is poured in.
"They've been the best-selling T-shirts we've ever done," said Just Add Coffee co-owner Ed Beazer.
The church informed Beazer that the angel's image is a registered trademark.
"If they provide proof, we're going to comply," Beazer said. "We don't want to break any laws or anything."
Just Add Coffee put the image on greeting cards about a year ago and started selling the shirts before Christmas. Moroni also appeared in ads that caught the church's attention.
Church spokesman Scott Trotter said the image is a trademark.
"It was a spoof," Beazer said. "It was meant to be fun."
OK. Here's the low-down on this. First, if you are a practising member of the LDS church, you can't ingest caffeine, anyway. So why should a coffee house's advertisement technique get your undies in a bunch? It would be like my getting all contorted out of shape anytime someone uses the phrase, "Dancing with the devil."
Second, and most seriously, Scott Trotter has the audacity to attempt to put a revenue-yielding trademark on an angelic being? Gee, Scott, did you get Jesus's permission for that? I'm sure the powerful and ordained Moroni would just be thrilled to know that someone wants to use him for personal gain.

Just more proof that the church (again, REGARDLESS of denomination) needs to keep their pious noses out of the business world.

Remember, this post was not an attempt to poke fun at a faith-group, rather to simply point out an error. When I have attained perfection, I will no longer post the stupid things I do and say.
