I think that you are a bigot. You think that you should be able to have your way and other people should not?</description>

Jesus isn&#039;t offensive -- He cared a great deal for children.    He said &quot;Let the little children come to me&quot; when His apostles tried to block them from approaching Jesus.  And He told us to love our neighbor as ourselves, so how exactly is Jesus offending you?

But anyway, it&#039;s called Freedom of Religion.  If you&#039;re that offended by Jesus, you may want to consider moving to Iran or China.  I can guarantee you won&#039;t see ANY Jesus figurines in stores around those countries.</description>

Christmas and Easter are and have been very busy holidays for businesses. Hallmark has so far been a store with tasteful merchandise. Should that have changed, I will no longer shop there. You have that same option. Support another business that sells the things you are looking for. There are plenty around. BTW, I don&#039;t think a business denies itself the opportunity to make money; Christians cash is as good as anyones, last time I checked.</description>

Why be offended?  They&#039;re just trying to make a buck.  You know, like all the preachers do, only they do it year round.</description>

		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://excitedeyeshopping.com&quot;&gt;personalized gift&lt;/a&gt;


The only reason I want to boycott Hallmark, is they have all of these same-sex marriages cards.
It&#039;s like they&#039;re saying this sin is ok, just for money!
Personally, I don&#039;t like Jesus figurines, because they don&#039;t do Him justice, and I feel like they&#039;re using Him to get money. But on the other hand, if it gets the message of Jesus out, I approve.
I&#039;m sorry you think that Jesus figurines are crap. Why is that? What is indecent about Jesus? Are little kids going to look and say, &quot;Oh, Mommy, this horrible store is trying to teach me how to love the God that created me, and loves me more than I could possibly imagine, and died for me, so I won&#039;t have to go to hell and burn for eternity! How dare they!&quot;?</description>

I&#039;m not trying to be smart but if you are offended, it may be your problem.  You can choose to shop elsewhere.

There&#039;s a liquor store a block away from my home.  I&#039;m &quot;nuts&quot; about honey roasted peanuts.  Since I don&#039;t like what they sell and display in the liquor store, rather than &quot;boycott them&quot; for selling what they choose as their business, I walk eight blocks further to the grocery when I have a taste for honey-roasted peanuts.

Another solution:  Order your cards online or make them yourself.

Although I was not &quot;offended&quot; when certain well-known stores changed their greetings from a &quot;Christmas theme&quot; to a &quot;Holiday theme,&quot; I didn&#039;t see a reason to boycott them.  How they run their business IS their business.  I&#039;m invited to shop there but I don&#039;t necessarily have to accept the invitation.  I choose another option:  Christian stores, bookstores and online shopping.

There are always other choices/options when it comes to shopping.

Best to you.

[edit]

Check the link in details and still say there are options and people get offended very easily.  (Will probably post a similar response on that other question later.)

This asker notes a  similar offense but very different point of view:
