Christians tend to pick and choose more and more everyday which ones they feel need to be followed. I wish the traffic court judge would afford me as much leeway. So far, it hasn't worked out.
I guess it was more of a statement about the way the church has allowed pagan influence in - ostensibly to compete with those pagan religions over hundreds of years but especially lately. If you think about it, it's kind of like the one drop rule. One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel. I was raised a Southern Baptist and always wondered why we celebrated halloween in the basement banquet hall where we had our Wednesday night pot luck dinners - with cardboard witches taped to the door to the church. Just never really made sense to me, you know? The older members were livid over it.
I remember a kid I went to church with getting mad at his parents because he had just found out that santa wasn't real. He made a huge scene that night in the same banquet hall during the the christmas gift exchange screaming at them asking when they were going to tell him that Jesus was made up as well.
Now, the Methodist church is allowing gay clergy. It just seems like everything is falling apart and it didn't just happen overnight. That same all white church I went to as a child now has inter-species couples in attendance.
It just seems like anything goes nowadays and standards are gone.
Maybe it's just me.
P.S. I misspelled "wear the shoes." I was out in the sun too long today.

I saw shit like that in spades during my enlistment. Some of it was legitimate. Most was not. More money was spent on disposal of Hazmat/Hazwaste than was spent on product actually being used. I never saw drill bits with an exp. date but I've seen shit just as stupid if not worse. I've seen cases of GP cleaner tossed. ITS JUST DETERGENT for cleaning the sinks and urinals in the head FFS!!! Oh, and HEAVEN FORBID you get caught with a locker with a few extras you needed so you don't have to down the squadron that's about to deploy for 9volt batteries to put in their damn Fluke meters. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Either way, some QA prick would put it in his evals when he dinged you on an audit for it and now you've got to explain yourself to the Div O or worse.
As far as an explanation, the only reasons I could ever come up with were regulations (FAA and DOD alike) built around keeping the unions employed.

Your expired car paint jogged my memory about all the airline Gibbs I got.
I'm inclined to believe your theory about keeping additional union workers on the payroll.
Store room police needed to look for expired stock. Extra store room clerk to haul exp'd shit out to dumpster and to restock bins. Another clerk to order replacement stock.
Drill bit supplier gets another order. Napkin supplier likewise. Truck driver delivers.
Millions spent on a full circle of nothing except keeping people employed!

Yeah, it reminds me of a story I read years back about life in USSR, before the (mostly) fall of the communism and coming soon to a nation surrounding YOU!
Factories would produce truck loads of nuts and bolts, load them up into dump trucks and ship them out to landfills - just to keep people employed.
Sure... that sounds logical - right?
It's amazing to me that anyone actually believes socialism/communism can work. They always explain that "It just hasn't been implemented by the right people yet!" As if to say that we just need some honest socialists in office to make it work, not all those bad guys who ran things up until now.
Hey, let's just give it another shot, shall we?!! Joe ̶S̶t̶a̶l̶i̶n̶ Biden can do it! I'm just sure of it!!

We're gettting off-topic, but I'll just say that 1 Cor. 8 tells us that it's about the spirit in which something's done, not the name. Now, I didn't know the origin of the Nike name. I thought it was Japanese and related to Nikkei. Not knowing the origin shows my point: is a Christian wearing Nikes to don footwear, or to purposely honor a Greek god and thus want to make other Christians stumble?
Halloween may have started as a pagan holiday (there's some dispute there) but has become so secular that I have no problem with giving treats and my neighborhood's traditional party at the park. Around here, neighbors have good enough taste to know what their children shouldn't wear. When I was growing up, once in a while a girl would be sent home for dressing as, I'm not kidding, a prostitute. My old church would have a party for children where they could have treats and bob for apples, but with restrictions on costumes. Ghosts, witches and vampires were specifically mentioned as inappropriate.
We know the world is messed up when a Kenya-born Muslim returns as President, Snowden fled to HK and Russia to escape the U.S. govt, George Zimmerman was put on trial, Colin Kapernick was GQ's Citizen of the Year, Dems steal a presidential election, and BLM is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Speaking of, I was trying to remember where I heard of this nigger and I knew that I remembered that it had something to do with some country singer. Since I really don't keep up with entertainers, I had to google him and found this Wiki:
"Old Town Road" spent nineteen weeks atop the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the longest-running number-one song since the chart debuted in 1958. Several remixes of the song were released, the most popular of which featured country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Nas X came out as gay while "Old Town Road" was atop the Hot 100, becoming the only artist to do so while having a number-one record.
Now it makes a little more sense.
This is an openly gay nigger with occult leanings with weird connections to Disney thru Billy Ray Cyrus. The same guy that let his daughter swing naked from a wrecking ball and many other bad father of the decade choices.
Billy is nothing but a pimp.
It would seem that this nigger's video of him sliding down a pole to give a lap dance to the devil was more than just some kind of Spinal Tap type joke which was what I assumed (don't know, haven't / won't watch it). It's more of an admission.
Won't he be surprised when he does get to hell and gets his first pineapple shoved up his queer nigger ass.

Here's another connection. The whore daughter's now wearing those Satanic shoes and even asked, "Can you see Satan?"

I worked at a champs store at the mall when I was a teenager. Had a nigger try on a pair of shoes and just take off running with them right through the mall. The stupid nigger came back a couple weeks later wearing the damn shoes. I called security and nigger got hauled off. They aren’t very bright as we all know.

Christians are at a crossroads. One one side, they're told to luv thy neighbor, even if it's a dirty nigger. On the other, they see the ruination of their families when the kids come home with a nigger mate and mulatto in tow. Tea leaves are more clear on what to do about rampant violent niggardry than the Bible is, unfortunately.
A nigger is the only creature in all of God's creation that can commit heinous and violent crimes, and then have the gall to petition for laws meant to restrain society's response to that criminality. Even a terrorist understands that bad things will happen if they're caught.
