I never thought there would be a great deal of support for the Homosexual agenda amongst the Apple products fans of Free Republic. Apple products are very well made products, and I do not fault anyone for wanting the best.
while at the very same time as that ... They do like and buy Apple products, as do I. That will continue.
I just like to point out that the Germans made very good products too. Nobody could beat Zeiss Optics. Other German manufactures produced superior and excellent products as well.
But I think that is beside the point. I think each of us must do what they feel comfortable with. For me, anything Apple, or Google, or Starbucks, or Mozilla, has acquired a taint to it. As you have pointed out, It's getting virtually impossible to buy products that don't have this taint.
If you have found a way to accept this, then I congratulate you. You will likely have an easier time with the future than will I.
I accept that it’s a fallen world that we live in and that a Christian will not be able to change that fallen world, except by spreading the Gospel of Salvation to everyone that they come across. The more that are saved means the better this fallen world will be, as those saved ones will act out in the real world, their salvation.
But in the end, there is no changing this fallen world, by Christians. That is something that only the Messiah of Israel does, when he returns to earth and sets up his one-world government over all the nations of the world.
Here’s a relevant parable that Jesus gave ...
Matthew 13
24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;
25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.
27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’
28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’
29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ‘ “

When the Angels come, who are the reapers, then the problem will be solved.
