Looks like Home Depot's got themselves a microMartyr on their hands.
Last month, when Trevor Keezer started bringing his Bible to work, Keezer says his manager confronted him about the ["One nation under God, indivisible"] button. "That's when I was told it had to come off or I would be sent home. So they sent me home for six straight days without pay. And then they terminated me."
This is just the kind of thing that I intended to talk about in the O.P. This is what they fear, and are mad to stamp out; for if they can so intimidate Christians that none are willing to make the small "sacrifices", it's a safe bet none will be willing to make the big ones either.
I've been reading some of the blogs, and in typical pretend-to-be-stupid style, all who support the Depot are pretending it's about the dress code. Nobody cared a bit about the pin until they found out the young man was a believer.
Neither do the freaks manage a very convincing job pretending to be stupid. Many of the comments are anti-God and anti-Christian; everyone knows. It's no secret.
Of course in today's America, it is
two strikes against a person if they love both God and country.
There is boycott talk, and the counter-talk is predictably lame: "Lowe's is just as bad". Well, that remains to be seen. If they somehow manage to be just as anti-American and anti-God, maybe - just maybe - other retailers exist. This is really a bluff at claiming total victory: "We control it all". I don't think they do, just yet.
As much as I support efforts to boycott this crew, it is unrealistic to expect too much. Satan has proven capable of supplying money to those who serve him. It may be they won't miss the money at all. That doesn't make it futile, by any means; just don't expect too much direct worldly impact. It's still high time people quit letting all this stuff "slide".
