silly church, boycotts are for idiots
Ok, everywhere I turn I keep running into this article. It’s ridunkulousness taken to the max. This is being added to my “stupid christians” list as we speak.
Here’s an excerpt from the article…
A Christian group based in San Diego found grounds for outrage over the new retro-style logo for Starbucks Coffee.
The Resistance says the new image “has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute,” Mark Dice, founder of the group, said in a news release. “Need I say more? It’s extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves Slutbucks.’
The group, which claims more than 3,000 members nationwide and has found a place on the fringe advancing various conspiracy theories, is calling for a national boycott of the coffee-selling giant.
Ok, here’s my question… do you really think just because your groups calls for a national boycott that its going to happen? uh no!
And so you and your 3000 stop drinking Starbucks, will that really hurt the company? I mean Disney’s still around and “we’ve” boycotted them dozens of times.
What are they really trying to accomplish here?
I’m really hoping that when Christ looks at His bride, you know the one who’s to be beautiful, somehow he misses those that are uglying it up. I’m sure though that when he looks at the church, he’s not gonna look at the big hairy butt first.
My biggest problem with this kind of stuff is that from the outside looking in, we are all painted with the same brush. And that my friends is tragic. Because the church as a whole isn’t like that, however there are a lot of zits, bunions, and other nasty blemishes on this bride that need to be cleaned up.
Silly silly people… there are much bigger things for us to fight than a logo on a cup. And there are much more Christ-like ways to fight them than a cowardly boycott.
After reading that article, my one prayer for the church is, “make us less retarded,” or at least some of us.
I think we should boycott McDonalds too, because Ronald McDonald has red hair like Satan does, and when you turn the Golden arches upside down you have a pitchfork which is Satan’s utensil of choice, which obviously answers the question to WWSE (Where Would Satan Eat?). I’d rather boycott McDonalds than Slutbucks. Wanna go get a cup?
Ya, we’ve been discussing this on my blog this last week.
I don’t get it. The thing that pisses me off the most is that they have done further damage to the name of Jesus.
Shannon – absolutely, lets go grab a pikes place.
inWorship – I hear ya man. You’re right man, its people like this that make it so much harder for the gospel to be advanced.
Amen to your prayer.
