[QUOTE="10Seconds, post: 1973681, member: 24432"] Putting up a sign is making a stand, taking an action. You are right, action should be taken, but the correct action would be to switch insurance companies. To put up a sign in that circumstances is basically taking the path of least resistance, caving in so to speak. Not even attempting to make a stand for your beliefs. Some beliefs are worth more than just dollars and cents. If a businessman is a Christian and his insurance company will raise his rates unless he puts up a sign with "666" on it, should he? It would make financial sense. What if they demand he spits on a picture of Jesus should he do that too? Where should we draw the line when supporting beliefs? I saw the signs at Arvest and I too will be making a financial decision - to not do business with a bank who stands for what I do not. Same reason I do not have GEICO insurance either. They support what I do not and the only way I can vote is with my wallet. I am a business owner and will never post such a sign on my business. If the day ever comes that I cannot afford to stay in business AND stay true to my beliefs then that is the day that I will find something else to do. [/QUOTE]
