Should Christians boycott movies, services or products offered by those who deny Christ?

I think you all should - why not start with not using electricity, it was discovered by an atheist - then of course that would then show that darn atheist Thomas Edison a thing or two by you not using light bulbs. And the list just continues to more glorious stuff  - heck,why not just move to the mountains and live off of the land - that would pretty much cover it.PRAISE BE TO JESUS!!!!\nIt's stupid suggestions like yours that make it impossible people to take religion seriously.

People who do lip service are not going to heaven. Christians who do what's required of them will spend eternity in heaven. Hopefully, you will be there and not be just judgmental which is lip service.

So then why are all of these Christians on the board answering questions in this forum if they feel that secular entertainment should be avoided?  hmmmm?  Isn't the use of the internet just for this purpose secular entertainment?\n\nY'all are a bunch of hypocrites.

Controversy = sales.\n\nAnd church protests may increase sales in the long run. People will want to know WHAT is so bad that they will go to hell if they watch the damn movie. LOL

Better neighbors than Christians...\n\nChristians will try to ban you from watching certain tv shows, stop you from reading some books, prevent you from buying some albums, and from having control over your own body.

People make movies for one reason and one reason only...to make money. It's the business movies makers are in. If it wasn't for the profit and fame do you really think they would spend the time and effort to do it? If there were a DaVinci code,and if it were meaningful or meant for Christians to need to know it, it would be mentioned somewhere in the Bible. Since it's not in the Bible, it nothing more than a make-believe story.

I have seen christianity mislead people.  I've seen large amounts of christians support torture and murder, I've seen vast numbers of christians support war and killing, I've seen christians that support executions like the one that killed Jesus, I've seen christians that have thrown their own children onto the street, homeless because they were born gay, to be raped and abused by criminals.  I've seen christians mothers disown their daughters for marrying outside the faith.  I've seen many high-up christians cover up the rape and abuse of children, And now there is a massive wave of moral sickness moving through the US christian community with the idea of the "undeserving poor".  Yes, now millions of american christians are promoting this corrupted ideal in order to escape from Jesus's most fundamental commandment of loving one another and caring for the poor.  Yet millions of christians in the US promote the idea that the poor take advantage of the rest of us, that they do not deserve our help, and that they are lazy.\n\nFrom where I stand, the majority of modern christians resembe the pharasees of the bible more than righteous men and women.

I am a Christian and want to let you know that many Christians are boycotting Best Buy, us included.  Our local Christian radio station announced Best Buys decision to offend the 80% of Americans who celebrate Christmas in recognition of Jesus' birth and cater to the 20% of those who don't.  Let the 20% support the store.  They'll be back to celebrating "Christmas" next year if we all take a stand.

I am in agreement with you...there is no reason to censor the movie... years ago I believe there was also an outcry over "The last temptation of Christ" as well.....religions tend not to be very tolerant of anything that could  possibly contradict any of their version of history or potentially influence people to question the version...... people have to keep in mind that all religions are man made , the bible was written by men ... which logically means that much of what is written in it must be  questioned...or at least  viewed as embellished to suit  the writers preference ......

If the Church has an income from books, tapes and so forth yes.\n\nBut if the Church is being supported by those that attend through offerings then I would have to say NO.

Nobody likes them TV Christians. \nAs long as he's not begging for money he has to give a good sermon to keep the suckers sending cash.\nIt's ok to listen but don't send money to support him.

Hahaha. I can tell you for a fact they (the Christian people, at least) would not. Their book literally prevents them from ever accepting world peace. And, in fact, if somebody were ever to try and achieve this they would call this person the "anti-christ". Watch the Left Behind movies. Or Omen. They would try to murder the one who would dare try to produce an actual peace in this world. \n\nPeace is the product of reason. Religion is the total opposite.

The one thing some Christians have against them (I am Christian as well) is how they treat others.  Our pastor recently said in a sermon,  " I'll tell you, if I was a non-believer and was thinking about becoming a Christian, the one thing that would stop me is how we treat others and ourselves."\n\nI have to agree.  The way you bring people to love Jesus is by love, prayer, and grace.  Not by bashing them for not being Christian.  Truth is:  we are all sinners and being Christian does NOT make us superior, yet we act as though it should.  We are ALL God's children.  EVERY sin is equal in God's eyes.\n\n\nWhy would anyone respect us if we approach them in an accusing, judgemental manner?!\n\nThere is hypocrisy in ALL faiths and ALL people because we are all sinners.  Please understand...no one is perfect except Jesus Christ.  Being a follower of Christ in no way makes our sins invisible.\n\nI am embarrassed and apologetic for the image some of us have portrayed.

Yes and this seems to slowly be happening in Hollywood, but on our end Christians have to support these movies to let producers know that they are worth making. Passion of the Christ and Narnia were hits but not all of them are. Movie production is more interested in making money than the beliefs put forth and if we as Christians won't spend the money to see quality movies then they will quite making them. Also remember that there are far more unsaved people than Christians so the majority rules and we at best will have only a few options.
