BAR Is Great—Cancel Our Subscription

We have been receiving BAR at our Christian School for a year. It is simply fantastic! The format is easily understood by the students and the pictures hold their interest even longer. In our world history class I was able to use several articles that greatly enhanced the lesson.

However, we will not renew our subscription because of your decision to advertise, for profit, pagan idols. While you have the constitutional and legal right to advertise anything in your magazine that you desire, I do not believe you have the scriptural authority or freedom to do so. Reporting on archaeological finds, historical data (Christian and non-Christian) and pagan lifestyles is one thing, but to actually go and make money off the selling of idols that people used to worship, and still do, is a sin against God and against the Church, the Body of Christ. God is holding you accountable!

When BAR rectifies this situation, we will renew our subscription.
