"It's about an FDIC examiner upset by a newspaper ad the bank ran wishing readers a Merry Christmas...But the young examiner in charge of its consumer compliance exam that next May was livid. According to Pierce, the examiner admonished the bank staff, saying he had "never seen anything so blatantly Christian." Pierce says the examiner then ordered Farmers State to pull 100 loan files so that he could search them for evidence of religious bias. He found none."
