HT to Dr. Cargill via FB.
You know my thoughts on the matter – I don’t support the boycott, but when you start saying “biblical principles” then you really open yourself up…
Joel L. Watts holds a Masters of Arts from United Theological Seminary with a focus in literary and rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).

If someone had said ‘I’m against death penalty based on biblical principle’ or ‘I love my neighbor based on biblical principle’, I do not think that Dr. Cargill would have make the same reasoning. Is he claiming that if someone follows biblical principles he had to be necessarily a literalist?
