Should Christians Boycott Starbucks?




A respected pro-family organization announced a boycott of Starbucks coffee. The group, which supports legal protection for traditional marriage, launched the "Dump Starbucks" campaign after a national board meeting in which the Seattle-based coffee company mentioned support for same-sex marriage as a core value of the company. Some Christians are wondering whether we ought to join in the boycott. I say no.

It's not that I'm saying a boycott in and of itself is always evil or wrong. It's just that, in this case (and in many like it) a boycott exposes us to all of our worst tendencies. Christians are tempted, again and again, to fight like the devil to please the Lord.

I get what the article is trying to say, but ... the whole "economic oppression" thing seems a bit shifty to me.

I try to make a difference in everything I do, including spending money, and if I suspect someone's using my dollars for ill, I'll spend them elsewhere, boycott or no.

It goes without saying that I respect your right to see things differently.
