Heinz is anti God?
Earlier today I read a nice post over at ChurchRelevance.com about the new Heinz promotion at MyHeinz.com. I could definitely see how this could be an excellent tool for promoting your church, and to fit along my church’s “God Loves You” water bottle campaign I thought I’d see if I could get some ketchup and mustard for feasts and picnics with the same slogan.

I am trying to create a label for church promotion, and your page keeps saying “The message you have entered contains language that violated Heinz’s terms and conditions . Please re-enter your message.” But your terms and conditions link is broken. I am curious as to why the message “God loves you” would violate your terms and conditions. I and the rest of the church blogging community await your reply.

Truly, life and death are in the power of the tongue.
Psalm 19:14: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer.”

Unfortunately all religious connotations are considered a violation to Heinz. We can not have anything about God or Satan on these labels. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank You,

Not that this truly surprises me, but it does sadden me a bit to see yet another company that is devoutly anti anything God.
