I Am A Conservative Christian And I Refuse To Boycott Disney

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
