Bible.com Investor Sues Company For Lack Of Profit

Posted by samzenpus on from the isn't-it-ironic dept.

The board of Bible.com claims that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than to make money on the domain name, but an angry shareholder disagrees. From the article: "James Solakian filed the lawsuit in Delaware's Chancery Court against the board of Bible.com for breaching their duty by refusing to sell the site or run the company in a profitable way. The lawsuit cites a valuation done by a potential purchaser that estimated bible.com could be worth more than dictionary.com, which recently sold for more than $100 million."

    All you need to make a camel pass through a needle's eye is to grind it very finely.

      The translators of the bible got it wrong. What they were supposed to say is:

      "It is easier for a man to enter a camel if he stands upon a box."

    Money in religion comes from donations, not advertising.

    I wish you had told my church's finance committee this before they looked into buying a 15ft tall caveman cartoon to advertise tithing. Thankfully they balked at the quote, but they printed tons of fliers and some 6ft standups. :(

    It should be a .org, and based in Ireland. Bible.org.ie!
