I just installed 4 Bull Ring retractable hooks, and they work great. A very nice product. However, I was dismayed to see an obvious christianfish symbol proudly displayed under the hook. I take offense to anyone taking my money while at the same time forcing thier idolatry and religious views on me.
Does anyone know if the Ford-branded versions have the Jesus fish on them?

where did you purchase them from... you could request a replacement without the marking...?

As a Christian, I think is funny you blame the manufacturer for you buying their product . I think if you strongly disbelieve in God that you should send them back with a letter saying why you are sending them back. Maybe look for a product that says Made in China those should be easy to find.

Let's take these statements one at a time:

1) Where do you see that I said I blame the manufacturer for me buying thier product? I don't blame anyone for me buying the product: I bought them because I wanted them, as I should be allowed to do, right? What I specifically accused them of was forcing thier religious views on me in a sneaky and underhanded way. If they feel strongly enough about thier beliefs that they want to make it a mandatory requirement for all thier customers to also share in and display thier agreement with those beliefs, then I feel they should make that known to any potential customer before-hand. Which they do not.

2) Why do you assume that I "strongly disbelieve in God"? I never made that statement or any statement even insinuating that. What I find funny (to paraphrase you) is that you, "as a Christian" make the assumption that because you obviously think I do not share your particular opinions about personal preference and my right to practice any belief I choose, or none at all, that I must be a disbeliever.

3) On principle, I probably will send them back.

4) Why do you seem to make the statement that if someone doesn't want some company's religious beliefs forced upon them without thier consent, that the only other option is buy something made in China? Are you claiming that a high-quality, American-made product can only be so if it also includes a strong religious component? And that by extension anyone who willingly buys a Chinese-made product is a disbeliver and therefore un-Amrican?

How would you react if you bought an accessory for your truck and discovered after the fact that it was emblazoned with the Star of David? "As a Christian", are you going to feel comfortable and agreeable displaying an opposing symbol of religious belief on your vehicle? What if the item displayed the athiestic atomic symbol...would you be willing to display and appear to endorse those beliefs on your vehicle for all to clearly see without your previous consent?

I have no issue with anyone's beliefs either public or private, whether they agree or disagree with whatever I personally believe in. The owners of "Chic Fil-A" take a lot of heat publicly for thier strong religious beliefs and the fact that they run all aspects of thier business accordingly. I applaud them for having the courage to stand up strongly for what they believe in, and to proudly display and let be known why they make the seemingly bad-for-business decisions others accuse them of. They have the courage of thier convictions. And they don't hide them or try to sneak them in on anyone.

If Bull-Ring feels so strongly about thier specific religious beliefs to the exclusion of any of thier customers possible opposing beliefs, and that they are going to make it a part of thier product, then they should openly disclose that in thier advertyising and sales literature.

Zoom in under the bar you'll see it. Right next to the screw

Wow, not impressed. As a non-christian that is.

HoustonRider

what a reach. I guess we see what somehow we want to see.

I see a fish shape rise (to keep the bar from dropping so far down you can't pick it up) but its not this:



I wonder if they buy BullRings in India?
