Your point?

You know what they say about glass houses, right?

The Latest Trend In Christianity: Beating Your Wife For Jesus | Crooks and Liars

Jesus wept: There were 12 reported incidents of Christian pastors molesting kids

"A conference to arrange child marriages for Christian homeschoolers will be held in Kansas this fall.
Fundamentalist and conservative evangelical parents will meet in Wichita, Kansas, this November to arrange marriages for their teen daughters."


Conference Will Arrange Child Marriages For Christian Homeschoolers

We aren't judging ALL Christians by these outliers are we?

As for the OP, do what feels right to you.
I doubt that an organized boycott will take off, particularly at this time of year, but hey, worth a try if you feel that strongly.
Statistically speaking you can't compare what wide swaths of Muslims believe and the human right violations they commit to a handful of examples above.


That is the difference. These issues are not equivalent. Not in the year 2016.

Didn't realize this was a thing... Watch movies, listen to "videos"... I have had Amazon Prime for a long time to know its movies are crap, its music service is great but too proprietary... I don't know what "reup" means perhaps you are going to spend an extra 10-20k a year...

For those that tend to be thoughtful about what their money supports boycotting Amazon won't be difficult especially if they don't use it much anyway. If you don't use it. Don't start. You won't miss a thing. Some may find other avenues and pursuing them a better choice. Many people doing a little bit has an overall impact. It was easy for me stop buying on Amazon. I can get the same items without them often at equal or better price. I stopped using them two years ago and haven't suffered in the least.
Can you please expand on how Amazon, or is it liberalism, is an " anti-American scourge bent on destruction of this sovereign nation and citizenship in favor of globalism and world citizenship." Maybe give some examples but first define liberalism and how it is connected to Amazon Prime. This should be interesting if you are up for the task!

If Trump says anything anti-Muslim, he is branded a xenophobic. This topic is about Amazon/Jeff Bezos and IMO the oversimplification of Christian/Muslim relations in that commercial just released.

Many Christians in America sure give Christ a bad name.

Oh, and OP, trust me on this, Amazon doesn't give a crap that you canceled your account.
Nice add, message of peace and acceptance.


AMZ now selling at $788 per share up $8, no noticeable effect from this large boycott across the land. LOL

amazon prime actually has in my opinion a better movie catalog then netflix. prime now has spectre and series that netflix makes you rent dvd's like the americans, wire and other hbo shows. i know as i have both.

and like i said, i can order whatever i want at the best price and have it delivered to my house in 2 hrs.

have fun driving to your local mall and paying 10 percent more.
I don't buy movies... "re up" means you continue your membership... so let me explain a little something... last week, Amazon had 2 memberships (me and you) and now this week they have 1 membership (just you)... in December (memberships are auto-renew, so you don't need to "re up" it) it will still be 1... it doesn't make my cancellation irrelevant... now if you said, that you are a NEW member, than it would but it really won't because you don't spend nearly as much as I do... I have SlingTV and will likely switch to Hulu Live Streaming TV later... I am not saying that Amazon is going to be hurt by me leaving... 10-20k a year is not much to them, but it will hurt if more people leave... which is where I am getting at...
