I applaud Sears and JC Penney for pulling these ads that are terribly offensive to Christians. I think the activism on behalf of the Christian community is the reason for the action taken by these companies. It has become increasing popular to attack the Christian faith while being extremely sensitive to offending other faiths. It is time for Christians to stand in solidarity against attacks on our faith wherever it occurs. As a wise man once said, "that which we are not willing to defend, we will not keep."
