A co-worker's spouse took a job at a company like that. I heard about it at a company dinner. I knew that they were quite religious so I had to ask how that squared, and the response was, "Oh, I would never use the product". It made me feel really uneasy, since I knew I'm fairly libertarian and I'd have a problem sleeping on it. The argument is always, if I don't take the money, someone else will. I guess I wouldn't like working in a liquor store or a bank either.

When I was religious I was uncomfortable with gambling and always voted to outlaw or heavily regulate it. Yet I can see folks I knew easily justifying taking such a job. The mentality was work for the heathen to win them to Jesus, and if you got really well paid then that's more you can tithe to the kingdom.
