Lindasue, I am sure we CAN boycott these gay agenda companies. A dime a dozen they be. It also worked with Wal-Mart.
I have been reading the comments and some of you are reading way to much into this. The bottom line is people aren't asking Pepsi or anyone else to take sides...They're asking Pepsi to stay neutral. I am sure we can't possibly boycott every company who could care less about their customers' requests but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. It worked with Ford.
I've been boycotting Pepsi (Frito-Lay, Quaker, etc) as well as Campbell's Soup (Peppridge Farms, V8) since 2008. There are many products that I miss purchasing but as a consumer I can freely choose where my money goes. Pepsi has a clear agenda and I choose not to support them as they go against the Word of God.
Boycotting Pepsi is no easy thing! I was a daily Quaker-oatmeal-eating, Tostito-chip-dipping, and Mt. Dew-drinking addicted consumer. It was not easy to switch to other brands, especially because of all of Pepsi's marketing, sales and coupons. But I eventually found some other alternatives that not only taste as good but are healthier for me and my family. Even if I am the only one in Maryland boycotting Pepsi, they've lost big bucks from our family already!
Didnt know about some of this yet was once warned about pepsi being a satanic company.

Shocking hey...spread the message
Pepsi isn't selling a soda but promoting homosexuality as its cause. I don't buy products that sell a lifestyle that God clearly shows as a sin. Sin is acting in a way contrary to what the creator intended. It's so simple even past homosexuals that turned to God will attest to it. Even the early Christian church had ex-homosexuals that changed from Satins evil ways. Pepsi is promoting evil in a world that is all filled up with it. Here's a thought Pepsi, promote a strong family and lead your product toward honoring God not angering Him.
And as for the Bible verses (respectively):
Jesus changed many of the health-related Old Testament laws.
And the Hebrew word translated "rape" in some English translations of the Bible is a very general term that literally means "lay", but in context is usually translated as either "lay with" or "rape". The former certainly sounds more reasonable.
And the stories of Horus and Zoroaster really bear little resemblance to that of Jesus. Although if you looked hard enough, I'm sure you could eventually find some mythology that bears some resemblance to the life of Jesus. I mean heck, I have long hair and a beard. Sometimes I even dress in white and wear sandals. You could say Jesus was looking into the future and copying me, if you're really that desperate to discredit him.
"Did you know the flood story is not unique to the bible? It also appears in Gilgamesh. The relationship between David and Jonathan resembles the relationships between Alexander the Great and Hephaestion and Achilles and Patroclus."
It never fails to amaze me the extent to which some people will go to attempt to discredit Christianity.
OF COURSE the flood story is not unique to the Bible. You honestly never stopped to think that perhaps such a catastrophic event would merit a mention in more than one manuscript?
And if there were other people who were good friends either in history or in mythology, as were Jonathan and David, I'm not the least bit surprised. I assume you're trying to insinuate that the Bible "copied" some other source. You might as well tell me the word "the" appears in the Bible as well as some earlier manuscript, therefore, "the" was copied.
Whether people believe in a higher power or not this fight is againts humanities nature!! We need only to continue to fight because God says so, but because our bodies and humanities laws say so.
Dude, you just made it clear that you haven't even read your own book. Whether you like it or not, it's in there. You're free to argue that Christ's sacrifice broke the old covenant and created a new one, thus negating some, or all, of the barbaric laws in the OT. But denying it's in there is asinine.
Leviticus 11:9-12 - read it.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29
Deuteronomy 22:23-24 - two about rape. If you read, you'll find more.
I really wish those who call themselves Christians would do the world a favor and educate themselves or keep their mouths shut.
You don't do yourself or God any favors by spewing "every knee shall bow" while completely ignoring one of the major questions that surrounds those very words.
I would like to assume that you are aware of Origen and many of the early church fathers who were universalists. That is, they believed in the ultimate reconciliation of all men to God.
William Barclay wrote a brilliant essay called "I Am A Convinced Universalist" that you really should look into before you call me a liar and deny some very basic facts.
Did you know the flood story is not unique to the bible? It also appears in Gilgamesh. The relationship between David and Jonathan resembles the relationships between Alexander the Great and Hephaestion and Achilles and Patroclus.
Call me sick and corrupt all you want. If name calling and ignorance is what gets you through the night, knock yourself out. It doesn't change what's actually in the bible.
Oh, you also might want to look into paganism and the many rituals modern day Christians celebrate with zeal. And while you're there? Look up Horus and Zoroaster.
Nothing about any of this negates anything Christ actually was, but it absolutely shows how ignorant certain sections of Christians really are.
Diego I'm sorry you have such a misguided corrupt view of God's Word and the Christian world view, I don't know where you found evidence for such bogus accusations, perhaps a fiction novel or perhaps your own sick corrupt mind trying to justify it's wrongdoing, either way complaining and slandering Christians doesn't make you right, any one with any real knowledge of the bible could clearly see you are lying, which will destroy any other credibility you have towards any given issue, It's people like you destroying the moral fabric of this country and this world,You know nothing about Jesus who is God, but He knows all about you! every knee will bow, every tongue confess including you Mr. Sullivan your best bet and only hope is to do it now before it's to late...
Doesn't the ignorance ever give you a headache? "A sin is a sin is a sin"? Is that from your little book? The one that says eating shrimp is an abomination and requires a rape victim to marry her rapist? Yeah, how kind and compassionate.
Get over it. You people have lost. Again. The bible has been used to defend owning slaves, misogyny, witches, Galileo and about a zillion other acts of indefensible cruelty.
God is not on your side. He's been trying to teach you people the same lesson for 2000 years and yet not one of you behaves the way Jesus did. You guys know Jesus, right? He's the one you claim to follow? The unmarried dude who broke every freaking rule the "bible" had? Surely, you've heard of him.
But, you know. Whatever. I don't know why you people want to deny others the same rights you use and abuse, but suck it up. It's not if, it's when. Progress happens. Read your history. Women can vote, black people can sit in the front of the bus and, guess what? Galileo was right.
I will thank you for one thing though. Bringing this nonsense to my attention is awesome because now I get to tell every other fag I know to support Pepsi every single day.
Y'all take care.
I don't think it's right to think, we should have to allow this behavior, either. Or act, as if its ok for our young children to think this behavior is right, when it is wrong. A sin is a sin, and we all know right from wrong. You can address this issue, anyway you like. But, it doesn't make it right. And I don't think the political move, makes it right either. Enough is enough! So let's put a stop this now.
I think that Pepsi should donate all the money that they're donating to homosexuals to something more important, like cancer research or something of that nature. It is a better use of their money because its going for something important. Homosexuals are people that can't find a person of the opposite sex to date because they don't want to be straight, they aren't born gay. I've gone for several months without Pepsi, and Coke tastes way better.
Boycott Pepsi? Yeah... good luck with that. That's like trying to boycott Google.
They're not going to run out of money.
Another thing. Pepsi sells a product. People pay to get that product. There is no small letters saying that you are using this money to donate to a cause for this that or the other and you get a soft drink as a thank you for donating. No. You are paying for the soft drink, you drink the soft drink, you got what you paid for. What they do with the money after they get it is their own free will just as how you spend your own money is your own free will.
If you are against something, like homosexuality, boycott homosexuality. Don't go boycotting Pepsi for what they do with their money or boycotting Food Lion because they sell Pepsi or all the little gas stations... etc. etc. etc.
Next thing you know you'll be dissasociating with people that drink Pepsi or people that have friends that are gay.
Or you'll start doing a background check on all the cereal brands you buy and your yogurt and your waffles making sure that whoever made those waffles don't pay anything to an organazation that is partnered with a company that supports a company that sends money to support gay marriage.
I mean really... it's waffles. Buy the waffles. Eat the waffles. You're not sinning for eating those particular waffles. Just eat the waffles.
If I were to sell you a doughnut, and then use that money to buy a lottery ticket, would you start a rally against me saying that you don't support gambling and I didn't ask you if I could buy a lottery ticket before selling you the doughnut?
Probably not and if you did I'd probably slap you.
You bought the doughnut. Eat it and go away. What I do with my money is my concern. If you don't like gambling, or any other issue, then boycott the issue. Not the doughnut.
I happen to think Pepsi is tasty and refreshing
It's not about Pepsi reaching out or others supporting the homosexual agenda. It's about Pepsi putting their money into a political fight and not caring what their customers think. It's saying that the opinion of homsexuals is more important than the opinion of Christians. The request is that they stay neutral.
to boycott pepsi or any brand also means looking into what other companies they own that add into their yearly earnings. Pepsi also owns, fritolay, tropicana, quaker, and gatorade. that is a tall order of products in just one product line to avoid. Along with a boycott we also need to write to congressmen and to the companies themselves so the boycott can be heard.
coke also promotes homophilia, just like motorola, kodak, fuji-xerox, vanguard(the index fund company) goldman sachs, american express, visa , mastercard, and many others, i already boycott these, and i also boycott pepsi and coke.

Nice one Ted, the truth is that ALL of us are sinners in God's eyes and the bible says that "There is none that seek after God and there is none righteous...NO NOT ONE" The only difference between the born again believer and the hellbound sinner is Jesus Christ. Now for the homosexual,gay,or let's be correct... IMMORAL,SEXUAL,PERVERSION issue. Here it is...God loves the sinner, but despises the SIN..ALL homosexual orientation or lifestyle is sin and will condemn a person to HELL forever! Our country..whether people like it or not, was founded on Godly and Moral principles. That means that I don't have to accept the liberal, immoral agenda that is being forced on our society. I will fight for my freedoms and I will NOT compromise my beliefs and character by allowing my children to be subjected to their idealologies. There will be a time when God will laugh at their destruction...Psalm 2. I will be in heaven, only because of his amazing GRACE!
First of all I want to say I do not hate gay people nor does God. I just want Pepsi, Ford and any other company to remain neutral in the culture war. If a company shows their support for anything that becomes a bias opinion then I am saying I will not do business with them. I am not angry at anyone but as an American, I still have the freedom to vote with my dollars!
If Pepsico wants to reach out and help the homosexual community, they should donate the money to AIDS/HIV research, not flaunting nudity, profanity, and sexuality in the street-in front of children, no less. It doesn't matter if it's homosexual pride parades or celebrate straight parades. Pepsico could really make a difference in lives if they donated those millions to AIDS research, medical assistance of patients, or even counseling-for those who are struggling with homosexuality. Those that want to live openly homosexual lifestyles, AND those who struggle, yet truly do NOT want to live a homosexual lifestyle. There are so much more truly helpful things they could do with those millions of dollars, if they truly want to help...
This company should not be pushing any sexual agendas whatsoever and to do so is a travesty. This one in particular goes against all that moral and natural. 31 times the gay agenda has been voted down. When this gets out to more and more Americans, they will have to take notice. Besides, think of it this way, their products are not good for us anyway.
