Pastor: Boycott Starbucks for supporting gay rights
A Christian pastor is calling on Christians all over the nation to boycott Starbucks as long as the Seattle company continues to support gay rights.
Believe it or not, this isn’t an initiative spearheaded by Seattle’s Mark Driscoll, head of the ever-growing Mars Hill Church. The ban on Starbucks comes from Steven Andrew, president of USA Christian Ministries.
Andrew called on Christians to stop drinking Starbucks coffee as long as the company continues to support gay rights.
“Starbucks is no longer fashionable. If your church still uses Starbucks, then your pastor is a friend of the world,” Andrew said in a statement. “God calls those who oppose Him ‘haters of God.’”
You might think “haters of God” is pretty strong language, but it gets stronger. Andrew goes on to say “Starbucks can follow Satan if they want to.”
Just don’t drink their Satan juice, according to Andrew.
He estimates Starbucks would lose 80 percent of their customers if Christians purchased coffee elsewhere, and he wants churches to promote his boycott.
“This boycott is important because God blesses those who obey Him and judges those who don’t obey Him,” he said .
