Pastor Wants Boycott of Microsoft and Others Who Support Gay Rights

A pastor on Monday called for a national boycott of Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and other companies that support a gay civil rights bill, saying the corporations have underestimated the power of religious consumers. The Rev. Ken Hutcherson, pastor of Antioch Bible Church in Seattle, said he would formally issue the boycott Thursday on the conservative radio show Focus on the Family.
Its one thing to boycott an organization that supports or provides abortions, or a tv station that depicts a pastor and his family in an unholy light, as in the case of NBC's "the book of Daniel" but THIS, this is quite something else. I can't wait for the religious and other moralists to put away their keyboards and pull out the stone tablets again.
Lets face facts here, the internet has helped express the religious and moralist views just as much as any other less desirable ones. To abandon the internet now would only be "cutting off their nose to spite their face". Even in a win, which they might even get, because its not that big a deal, would still be a loss to their bigger cause. But I'm not even sure they would get much participation in such a boycott, because like it or not the world now revolves around the internet. Nothing happens without it.
In a little side note that just struck me, did you ever realize its the emails with a religious theme that demands that you forward them or else?
Nah, they could never REALLY boycott Microsoft stamps are too expensive.
