Anti-Christian Target

These days ya gotta love life in America.

I read a news item this morning on the CNN website, but now I can't find it. From the CNN story, it's not only TARGET that's the target, but a number of other businesses that the Christian hardcore deem 'anti-Christian'. Here's the scoop from the source, The American Family Association website:

PRESS RELEASE: On Friday (Nov. 18) the American Family Association (AFA) launched on online boycott campaign against Target, citing the retailer's decision to ban Salvation Army kettles from their store entrances as well as the use of "Merry Christmas" in their in-store promotions and retail advertising. By the following Monday, almost 300,000 individuals had "signed" an online petition indicating they planned to express their disapproval of that decision by avoiding Target Stores during the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend. At press time, that number had jumped to more than 340,000.

Target's anti-Christian slant includes heavy use of the color red -- a widely recognized indicator of direct ties to Satan. A number of actors and models in Target advertising have been identified as card-carrying gay Wiccan pro-abortionists.

Personally, I think people should call Christmas Trees Christmas trees, wear whatever headgear they wish in public and pray for rain in the middle of the mall, if they choose. But this trend, if it continues could, in effect, create "Born-Again Christian Free Zones".

I have to admit... there's something appealing about that.
