I Am A Conservative Christian And I Refuse To Boycott Disney

A response to "This Modest Mom."

I Am A Conservative Christian And I Refuse To Boycott Disney
amessagewithabottle

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.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
