Why should I boycott a business

[Joe S]

for not honoring the word "Christmas"? Should I refuse to shop at a store owned by Muslims, or Jews, or Atheists? Have we become "the beast" by forcing people to take the Christmas mark before they can buy or sell?

That last thing may have been "over the top", but this boycott campaign seems outright ignorant foolishness to me. Christmas was not even celebrated by Reformed Protestants until relatively recently, as it is an invention of Roman Catholicism for their blasphemous mass.

I for one feel free to shop at businesses owned by people from all beliefs, depending on what they are selling, even Roman Catholics.

I'm with you. I've never felt it was right for Christians to boycott anything like that. It just makes Christianity look like one more religion that wants to dominate the masses. That isn't what we're about.

I don't par any attention to that nonsense, really. I find it is usually driven by a fundie mindset and more political than faith based. It wouldn't hurt me if we did away with Christmas and Easter, niether fit the modern Protestant mindset in my opinion.

Now comes the protesters. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_7.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824MNUS)
