And only some Christians; many find the notion offensive or even blasphemous.

I worked for a firm once who employed some management consultants who
used the slogan "When Your organization is in trouble turn to GOD",
GOD being Grid Organisational Development. Their program was total bs
also.

Usually any organization that resorts to sloganeering is bs. Well,
there's a lot of that kind of bs in acronyms in the computer world
anyway...

I think that usually any organization that doesn't do any sloganeering is
doomed. The real reason you think that usually any organization that
"resorts to sloganeering" is BS is probably that 98% of organizations are
BS, period.
