1 - I'm on your side from a theological standpoint. From what you've
posted you and I probably share similar religious views. HOWEVER:
2 - Your packaging, if it was sent like in the picture, leaves a lot to be desired.
This isn't fleabay. It isn't Craigslist. Everyone here is an adult,
and because of the nature of this website most of them are adult builders buying
items that they plan to use in their own creations. Having parts somewhat organized
or at least protected against possible damage is key.
3 - Are you KIDDING me? So, you sent him your business card (which I do in most
of my orders, although I ran out a couple weeks ago). It has your phone number
so he can contact you with any issues. It happens to have a Bible verse on it.
And this is somehow propaganda that you should have to feel bad for/punished
for?
From a religious standpoint you're doing the right thing. From the Bricklink
standpoint you aren't doing anything wrong by having a Bible verse on your
business card. But from a packaging standpoint I'd consider upping the quality
of packing, at least on Bricklink. Presentation is key. Pretend you're
Cake Boss, but with orders. Make things look shiny and awesome and you'll
score points with your buyers because they know you care just as much as they
do about their bricks.
Now let's look at a similar situation, but change it from a religious thing
to something else. I'm a HUGE Kentucky Wildcats fan. The KY Wildcats basketball
team rocks, period. I can't get enough of the games and have been a fan
since I was little.
So let's say that I put a KY Wildcats sticker in every order. It's at
my own expense. I'm not charging you for it. You can throw it away if you're
a Tennessee fan or a *shudder* Cardinal 
So what's the problem in this case? I am a fan of something that not everyone
else is. What I am a fan of seems very similar to many other groups that other
people happen to be fans of. I could include a piece of paper that happens to
have my team's logo on it. Nobody would ever bat an eye. Even our forever
rivals, the Louisville Cardinals, would probably just make a lighthearted joke
"Oh no! Burn the package! It has a UK logo on it!" in the same way we joke when
we find a Mega Blok in a collection we got from Craigslist.
Yet if it's religion, even when it isn't pushed on someone (having a
Bible verse on your business card isn't exactly pushing religion on someone,
when you gave out your business card is to promote your business, not your religion),
it is somehow a problem. Let's have a bit more tolerance. If something is
included with your order you don't want, toss it. Most of us are constantly
within 20 feet of a trash can on any given day, so it isn't a huge deal to
throw away something that doesn't apply to us.
