I’m told that my conscience-driven choices are “extremist.” But let me just ask a simple question:
If you share conservative, Christian calues, would you do business with companies that explicitly use their profits and products to
- sterilize children,
- mutilate them,
- sexualize and exploit them, or
- just outright murder them
if you had viable alternatives to choose from that do not do these wicked things?
Most folks in my circle would instantly say an emphatic “No!” to that question.
That say no. But they practice yes. Because it’s more convenient and easier to just go with the flow. Besides, what’s a few million ruined, mutilated, twisted, and sexually exploited children compared to the inconvenience of switching – even to an alternative that is free, familiar, and easy to use, and costs nothing?
- They aren’t my children.
- I don’t mutilate, exploit, pervert, and murder my children.
- So why should I care about other people’s children? It’s none of my business.
Here’s why you should care: Your children will grow up and meet someone they want to marry. Your children will grow up and work at a company like the ones you say you wouldn’t do business with. Your children will inherit a world where evil is the norm and predominant in a culture that does not value them. If they retain your values, they will suffer persecution and even martyrdom if they fail to bow down and worship whatever golden image is set before them. If they abandon those values, they may be lost forever, and you’ll not meet them in heaven and they will not inherit the New Creation.
A little minor inconvenience may be more costly than you can imagine.
Here is just one example of just one evil company that does all those wicked, cruel, evil things to toddlers as young as three years old. Documented.
Alternatives to this company’s products are easy to find, and many of them cost no money whatsoever to use. Is that too much to ask?
I wonder who is really the extremist here.
