I disagree.
As we have seen most recently with Cracker Barrel, big business is at the mercy of the consumer. Big business, in social matters, is a follower, not a leader. They will happily sell you a condom or a chastity belt.
Voters don't look to big business for voting advice. Management rarely tells the workers who to vote for unless the ballot issues directly & materially affect the business. Big business, by virtue of nondiscrimination laws, has been forced to accept behavior & dress in the workplace that no serious businessman would ever tolerate.
I fault priests & pastors for changing their message from sin & salvation to inclusion & tolerance. Phil Robertson has shamed them. He speaks the truth the pastors & priests avoid. He confronts sin & sinners head on, simple & straightforward. It hard to make that claim about our current religious leaders, whose words are so vague they are routinely interpreted in opposing ways. We see how the Pope's words are so ambiguous that Nancy Pelosi believes she is doing God's work, a Catholic in good standing. We see Christian leaders equating Christianity with islam, its avowed mortal enemy & moral opposite.
Phil is trying to save individual souls, while Christian leaders seem more interested in their own power & influence. Phil exposes this hypocrisy, as does the deafening silence from the pulpit re. the A&E persecution of Phil R. Solid Christian leaders should stand up & say, "You are going to Hell & you are NOT taking us with you".
There are a lot of church leaders who continue to confront sin head on while offering the path to repentance. At least in my neck of the woods, there are.
