Seriously, where did this idea that someone has a right to a trademark come from?Where did this idea that someone has a right not to be offended come from? Freedom means some people do things you do not like.<br>
This is just an extension of the helicopter parent. Trying to make sure nothing bad every happens to anyone. That is simply not life.
Within certain bounds, it’s common courtesy. As decent humans we shouldn’t go out of our way to offend people. Likewise we have the obligation to try not to be offended by everything.
Not everything that offends someone is PC run amok.
If you want to get theological about it, it’s an old, old concept.
Romans 14:14-17 I know and am convinced on the authority of the Lord Jesus that no food, in and of itself, is wrong to eat. But if someone believes it is wrong, then for that person it is wrong. And if another believer is distressed by what you eat, you are not acting in love if you eat it. Don’t let your eating ruin someone for whom Christ died. Then you will not be criticized for doing something you believe is good. For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
