Who needs comedians when you have Christian mega-churches to make fun of?Bell Shoals Baptist Church in Brandon, Florida, is making news today after removing 10 Pepsi vending machines from its property.
Why did they do that?
"We would like to send them a message," said Terry Kemple, president of the Community Issues Council that is organizing a boycott of Pepsi products because he says it "advocates the acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle."
But that doesn't mean the church will become un-caffeinated.
They've brought in Coca-Cola vending machines.
The Coca-Cola Company is as supportive of gay rights as Pepsi is, but apparently facts don't get in the way of a good publicity stunt masquerading as a protest against "diminishment of the ability of Christians to speak what the Bible says."
Thou shalt not drink Pepsi. Yeah, I read that in the Bible.

Booting Pepsi?
ReplyDeleteReally now.
I guess I could never join THAT church...(not that I'd want to, LOL)...I NEED my Pepsi in the morning when I get to my desk at work! Pepsi wakes me up way better than Coke for some reason.
