You have a point  with boycott being the white glove slapped across the 
face. It is , for me anyway, difficult to knowingly support something that 
is blatantly against Christian values though. We can take the impositions 
to secular folks from the prayers in school to our  trust in God on our 
money. when and where does it stop being an imposition to those who don't 
share the same values we founded our country on? Somewhere there needs to 
be a point of not letting our beliefs be target practice for any hired gun 
with an agenda. But I guess we know how things will go towards the end 
anyway, it won't be easy. The problem with going too far down the road of 
not impositioning folks is then compromise will set in, and they just see 
us a weakling little Christians and I don't think that looks to attractive 
for them to jump across the line either. Like I say, even if boycotts were 
to make their point and it was the answer, we are to disorganized to make 
a good crack at it anyway so it is really a moot topic.

Well, and that's an interesting point:  is it right to impose Christian 
standards on a secular company?    Their god definitely is money and ours 
isn't.  Our whole world view is different.  So, you force them not to do 
something or not to support something because the Christians don't like 
it.  They want your money, so they might comply, but that doesn't change 
their heart.  In fact, it might even make them ore bitter toward 
Christians because, all they see is the boycott.  they don't understand 
the heart difference.

Regarding boycotts since I'm on a one post roll here. I do think they are 
good to send a message, if they can be organized to do so. However, I 
wonder how many Christians might work there trying to affect  the company 
inside or just plain need a job? How many other companies also are not 
Christian based? Sony? Proctor and Gamble?  maybe the canned food company 
you eat everyday, the farmer, who knows when and where it can end. We can 
drive ourselves crazy with it, an yet if we don't ever stand up at all to 
make a stand  against those we know are blatantly  dead set against 
Christian values, how can we stop them. Boycotts can be good, but 
they  need organization. Unfortunately our country has proven it has 
difficulty getting together to make a difference as 60% of  our country 
men and women did not vote this past election.So they are good to show a 
disapproval, but are they  an affective method in today's society of 
"taking care of #1" attitude.
