Let me ask you a question: Did Judas get a good deal when he sold Jesus for
30 pieces of silver? In other words, when it comes to us knowing to do good,
or when we come to the knowledge of what we are supporting with our
finances, it would be up to the individual to decide what they want to do.
Yes, Lifeline does offer better rates. You can call them 1-800-684-2834.
They are a Christian Long Distance service. But this is up to you.

Personally me, I don't purchase gasoline at liquor stores. I do buy
groceries. Yes, I realize that grocery stores sell cigarrettes, beer and so
forth. Realizing that one cannot protest everything, in my conscience, I am
at peace knowing that I am not supporting any business who openly contribute
as a charity to the homosexual community and other anti-family values. This
is my main concern.
