<a href=”http://idle.slashdot.org/tale/10/10/22/1440231/Biblecom-Investor-Sues-Corporation-For-Lack-Of-Profit” target=”_blank”>Slashdot</a> points us to an amusing tale about how an investor who owns about 28% of Bible.com <a href=”http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101021/od_nm/us_biblecom_lawsuit” target=”_blank”>has sued the board for not being profitable enough</a>. Immediately, it is fair that when the owner of the domain place together a corporation to support it, he wrote in the plot “it is the goal of the board of directors of Bible.com to become very, very profitable,” however having failed at that hardly seems something that allows you to get sued. The investor is specifically claiming that a study suggested the domain designation itself could be worth over $100 million, and he wants it to be sold.
<br /><br />
I wondered if the Bible, itself, might have something to affirm on the affair, and thanks to the lovely body called the internet, there’s really an <a href=”http://www.openbible.info/topics/profit” target=”_blank”>entire sheet of Bible verses about profit</a>, with a hardly any choice quotes such as:
<blockquote><i>
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust ruin and where thieves break in and steal, however lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:19-21
<br /><br />
“For the like of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.” — 1 Timothy 6:10
<br /><br />
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will despise the one and like the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” — Matthew 6:24
</i></blockquote>
Wonder who’s going to file the amicus brief on behalf of God?<br /><br /><a href=”http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20101022/11582611548/not-very-biblical-investor-sues-bible-com-for-not-being-profitable-enough.shtml”>Permalink</a> | <a href=”http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20101022/11582611548/not-very-biblical-investor-sues-bible-com-for-not-being-profitable-enough.shtml#comments”>Comments</a> | <a href=”http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20101022/11582611548/not-very-biblical-investor-sues-bible-com-for-not-being-profitable-enough.shtml?op=sharethis”>Email This Tale</a><br />
