After all the hype about the article from This Modest Mom, I have made my own decision on my trip to Disney: I will be going.
“Boo... hiss... what about Jesus...” (I can hear it already)
OH, the same man who taught us to befriend sinners? The same man that was looked down for eating with tax collectors? That’s the man I want to live more like. To love the sinner, but not the sin.
Modest Mom, I understand you don’t want to expose your children to a “gay moment” in a play you hoped could fit into what you teach your children about your Christian life.
I understand it is sometimes hard to keep children sheltered from the things of the world.
Although, I do not understand why to cancel the entire trip and not just avoid the performance.
I am planning on going to my Disney trip even after reading your article. I respect you have your own opinion and this is your family. I admired how you stood up for your beliefs, but sometimes boycotting is not enough to make a point.
My mother always taught me two things that apply to this situation:
1. Love the sinner, not the sin
2. Unchurched people will act like unchurched people
Disney does not claim to be a Christian company, and I still spend money there. Starbucks does not claim to be a Christian company, and I still spend money there. Non-Christian companies will act like non-Christian companies in their beliefs, actions, and policies.
Canceling a 6,000 vacation, writing a petition, and using the reasoning of Christian beliefs will not affect a non-Christian company that is worth billions and has billions of people still going who disagree with what we believe in.
Although I disagree with boycotting Disney, I refuse to condemn you for them. To call you names for disagreeing with the LGBT lifestyle is hypocritical. I believe that everyone has their own opinion and should feel safe sharing it. I agree to disagree about boycotting Disney.
I am a conservative, I am a Christian, but I refuse to boycott the most magical place on earth.
