Drop the dead ~~donkey~~ lion!

I don't like the new design, and I like the old Victorian design.

Helen Edwards, adjunct associate professor of marketing at London Business School, said the rebrand would help to reduce the risk of excluding potential buyers."The story of it coming from religious belief could put the brand in an exclusionary space, especially if it was to go viral on X or TikTok," she told the BBC.

When I'm shopping, I definitely look closely at the quote on the can, then look it up, and decide not to buy syrup because it turns out to be a bible verse...

Actually that just shows exactly why we don't need a savior in any sense. If a savior were in fact real, and was in fact meant to save us from ourselves - why isn't he/she doing their job? Why should it be some god's job to protect us from ourselves? It never has, and it never will.

We should spend much less on superstitious beliefs and more time investing in working toward peace. It won't happen from "on high." It happens from the ground on up.

We have been saved. And our salvation is not of this earth. For God so loved the world that He sent His one and only son - that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life.

We will never manage to achieve peace on earth. And putting away "superstitious beliefs" will just make your life very short. You can still work for peace and be a Christian, as well. I don't see why it needs to be one or the other.

It's a very nice thought and if that is what works for you that's great. As long as you find peace and love along the way, that really is what matters most of all.
