Boycotts are biblically troubling to me because there is no mandate. That’s different from an unequal yoking situation or an endorsement situation.

If the idea of shopping at Grzzyfco because they support HRC is personally revolting, don’t shop. But to gin up the hate... please pardon me for saying so... is not the Christ approach. We soon find the naughty list is virtually universal. We already see that analogous kind of conundrum in the Search For The Acceptable Conservative.

Trying to boycott companies that promote mental illness as normal or support planned parenthood is not hate. It's taking action. As we're told in James, "faith without deeds is dead".

On that I agree. We're not going to get perfect, or even agree on what perfect is.

“But to gin up the hate...”

How is a boycott hate? You mean there is NO PLACE or NO BUSINESS you would not patronize? Not at all? Is refusing to attend a lewd club hatred on your part? And if it is not okay for you, why is everyone else obligated to attend to prove they don’t hate? Boycotting is a New Testament principle.
