Is it wise to mix religion with family business?

[Anonymous]

Or it is better to leave religion out of problems and family business?

I have a aunt who is Christian and for her everything is God here Go there. At this moment my aunt and the rest of my aunts (who all are elderly) are dealing with some problems with some property for many many years now and it seems the problems are not stopping., always new problems arise. So this aunt always bring God when they are discussing the problems they have. That the family is separated beacuse we dont have God in our hearts, that wwe have to put God first for everything. I mean I am Catholic and I blieve in God, but my aunt like to mix God with the business and I told her that that do not bring God to her family issues they need to resolve and she told me I dont have God in my heart and that is why our family is behaving like we are behaving.

This one has a very clear answer. Keep religion out of the family business.

The family business will give you enough to think and worry about. The very last thing you need is "God" coming into the equasion.

Nothing whatsoever will be made easier by mixing religion with your buiness.

Literally everything becomes more complicated (if not just silly) with your business if you mix religion into it.

This one is a very very clear answer: DO NOT mix religion with your business.

In general you are right but this instance she said "the family is separated beacuse we dont have God in our hearts" and that accurately describes your problems and attitude. don't act like god can't see you... same as you tell kids "god knows if you are lying," to scare them

Not at all, unless you are in a locale where almost everyone follows the same religion. Even then probably to keep your beliefs separate from your business. A business in Seattle displaying religious imagery would have a difficult time.

Seems you're a confused family wearing a mask of religion. Not a religious family trying to run a business.
