There are numerous articles written by conservative journalists condemning the Coexist movement. The reasons, nine times out of ten, is the fear that the final outworking of the Coexist movement of pluralism, tolerance and universalism will lead to a global abandonment of all “faiths.” In my opinion, that may not be the worst thing in the world, but I can see how it bothers people with a strong faith in a god. There also seems to be a misconception that it is directly targeting Christianity and it isn’t “fair” because Christians aren’t causing the problems. That belief is summed up in the image below:
While it’s ineffective to the cause to simply buy a sticker to parade how giving and generous a person is, if someone is actually donating and helping out at events there may be some good coming out of the movement. Just buying a coexist sticker is no different than just buying one cancer awareness sticker. Unless the person is making continued contributions and/or helping out at events, there probably just doing it to fill up their bucket, so to speak. It gives people the illusion that they are contributing to a bigger cause when in reality, they really aren’t.
