"Imagine that you’re a time traveler. You arrive at July 27, 2012, and right away you are told that if you are a “good Christian” you will boycott the Muppets, because they decided not to have their toys included in a specific fast-food chain’s kids meals. What do you do? You climb back in the time machine and look for a time when stupid litmus tests aren’t being used to judge a person’s spirituality. (Sadly, you have a long search ahead of you.)"

-Dr. Steve Rouse, Pepperdine University
He adds: “Just to clarify. I don’t mind being asked to boycott something. I don’t even mind it when I disagree with the boycott request. But being told that I’m not a good Christian if I don’t boycott something makes me… um… surly.”
