    Why I will not buy a Ford

    Bob, to take your analogy to the ridiculous extreem, are you saying Christians should sleep with prostitutes so that we are not seen to be boycotting them? Because that would be condescending. Your argument makes no sense.

    Why I will not buy a Ford

    I believe that it is. As parents we scold our children when they do something wrong because we love them, and expect them to apologize for their misdeed. Think of a boycott as sending a child to 'time out'. When that child returns and apologizes (repents), they are then embraced.

    Sounds like an Atheist playing pranks.

    Why I will not buy a Ford

    I completely agree with this. However, so many of the shares are owned institutionally (through funds) that we need to lobby the funds as well.

    Why I will not buy a Ford

    Given the market share in some catagories... it is difficult. Yes we do try to avoid these brands however. Actually Kerrie, I am trying to do something. Here, in the books I've published, in my investment reccomendations, and in direct letters to some of the more flagrant offenders...

    Why I will not buy a Ford

    You write as if companies have a right to my business, and that I am depriving them of my consumerism. No one company has a right to our loyalty. If they are behaving badly, in a way that directly offends Christian morals (and me), why on earth would I support them. The best way I can 'love...

    Why I will not buy a Ford

    The AFA has lifted the Boycott of Ford because they have begun to abide by the 2006 agreement not to be active advocates of the homosexual lifestyle. http://www.afa.net/emails/transform.asp?x=ford_031008&s=browser&y=2008&m=03 Personally, I'm doubtful that Ford will stick to the agreement (with...

    Abortion and Breast Cancer

    As of 2006, eight medical organizations recognize that abortion raises a woman's risk for breast cancer, independently of the risk of delaying the birth of a first child (a secondary effect that all experts already acknowledge). An additional medical organization, the Association of American...

    Supererogation Allocations: Indulgences Attrocious

    Nothing wrong with acts which, as you say, bring one closer to God. Fasting, prayer... but the concept of allocating other 'saints' supererogation - which is the theological underpinning - is simply unbiblical. If I'm wrong - please give me the verses on which you base your dispute.

    Supererogation Allocations: Indulgences Attrocious

    Didn't Mary Poppins say this? Seriously, I write this not out of disdain for the Catholic church – for I love all fellow Christians and members of the bride of Christ – but as a warning against a specific doctrine which is itself un-biblical.... From the depths and lofty heights He catches...
