Personally, my family "boycotts" many companies that we don't wish to be associated with -- WalMart, Target, Disney, etc. Realistically, I am pretty sure that Sam Walton is not sinking into despair because we don't buy our toilet paper from him. It's really only for our own satisfaction.
There are some that we want to boycott, but can't. I've quit AT&T several times, but as soon as I switch to a different phone company that stinkin' outfit buys them up, or there's a reorganization, and I'm right back with AT&T again. I noticed that my electric company is on the list of companies with a 100% approval rating for pandering to homosexuals. I'd like to quit 'em, but hey I need electricity.

Hey, go for it. Electricity is a tool of the devil to weaken your faith, anyhow.
But isn't electricity a tool of satan? There was no electricity in the Bible, and the Bible contains everything there is to know that is holy...so electricity must be satanic! So your refusal to stop using a gift of satan means that you are going to hell with the rest of us. Don't forget your sunblock! SPF 1,000,000.

They're coming to get you Dave. You, and only you. Their mission is not completed until you stop running away and become a homosexual. Why not make it easy and stop running. You know you want to.
I was thinking "no way does this even approach fundie", but then I read the last sentence.
Bigoted moron. Oh no! You'll catch the gay from your electric sockets! Better wear surgical gloves next time you plug in the kettle.
Changing electricity companies is madness anyway - the electric cables running from the station to your house wont suddenly change, neither will the machinery in the power plant or the technicians operating it.
I'm sure if you look hard enough that there's a reason to boycott every company in existence. Gay people exist, and gay people need their gay toiletries and gay food and gay electricity (whee! it's fun to add "gay" as an adjective!) and their gay Dr. Pepper and what have you. Those companies profit from gay people! Their money spreads the disease! You'll catch cooties off of George Washington's face! OOOHHH NOOOOOES!!!!!!!
"It's really for our own satisfaction."
So you admit, this has nothing to do with pleasing God, but merely pleasing your smug little self.
I can't even call you pathetic, Dave, it just isn't a strong enough description.
Apart from providing electricity to homosexuals (and they provide electricity to anyone regardless of their religion, sex, sexual orientation or intelligence), I can't see how they pander to homosexuals.

That last bit put my mind into the gutter.
So now, "pandering" means "providing necessary utility services for which one is in business in the first place, to anyone who pays for it, as required by law."

What you need, Dave, is to get your head out of your ass. Or better yet, go ahead and boycott all the companies that provide goods and services to gay people. Don't forget that some of these places even employ gay people, just like they were real people. The sooner you start, the sooner you can move into your shack in the woods, where nobody will ever have to deal with your dumb ass again.
Haha, that was the best turnaround ever. They look reasonable, if a bit extreme, and then you see they boycott because gay people get sold stuff.

Hey, you could always get your own generator. I suspect it would be more expensive and less efficient, but if you want to stay true to your "principles"... (translation: fucktarded prejudices) Of course, you'd then have to find a gas company that doesn't "pander to homosexuals", which is probably impossible, but at least we'd get a good laugh from seeing you complicate your life to solve a problem that exists only in your bigoted little brain.
I am pretty sure that Sam Walton is not sinking into despair because we don't buy our toilet paper from him. He'd probably be more pissed about losing your business than he would be about promoting good community relations.
No, if you really believe in what you say you do, then giving up the phone or electricity is a small price to pay for absolute salvation. Besides, then you could live your life by candle light. But, of course, the candlestick maker supports gay rights too. Oh, well. The evil gay agenda strikes again!

Reminds me of a little ditty published in Mad magazine many, many years ago (don't know why it stuck in my head; I must be weird.) -
Rub-a-dub-dub.
Three men in a tube.
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker.
All gay lib, you see.
Actually the candle-stick maker is Satanic, because everyone knows that candles are part of every Satanic ritual.
Unless they're made of white wax, in which case they're purified and are for use in church.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
