Selling on amazon

[lodius33]

I've started an ecommerce business where I sell products on Amazon.com and I really enjoy this business venture.
Amazons platform essentially makes my products available to anyone who has an amazon account in the USA & at the same time allows me to work normal hours to have time left over for family/other things. My old business was all consuming so this new career/ life style change as been great for my family and I.

The lingering question I have in the back of my mind is about Amazons views on Abortion and miscellaneous other things. Example: I've read they compensate employees for abortion travel and I'm sure there are other things I don't agree with that they support/practice.

The question I have is, is there any Biblical / Moral issue with Christians selling products on Amazon/Doing business with amazon (or any other business for that matter) when we are aware of practices they partake in that are against our beliefs?

I'm just looking for some other Christian's biblical perspective on this.

Thank you!

a lot of businesses support things that are secular. If we were to isolate ourselves from them solely because we didn't have the same views i will tell you right now there's not one store left that i would shop at.

It's understandable that your intentions are good with this question but at the end of the day it's about being in Babylon but not of babylon. God asked the israelites to be in Babylon and not of it, so too must we learn to live on this world but not be of it.

You've probably heard these common phrases and might be thinking "that's so simple a view" Sometimes it is simple. No need to overcomplicate our lives unnecessarily. God has given you a business and a way to provide for your family, no need to stop such a provision.
