I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a “Designed in U.S.A.” claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country’s socio-political bullshit.

    This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

    This is actually 1 John 3:16 (from the letters of John). John 3:16 (from the gospel according to) is actually:

    For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    (Arguably the most famous new testament quote besides “Jesus wept”.)
