The president of Chick-fil-A said this the other day on a radio show:

"We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit," he told the Biblical Recorder. On the radio, he observed: "I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage."

    This is exactly what he said:

    "We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit, I think we are inviting God's _judgment_ on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage."

    The President said what his views were and is his right since the question posed to him was not in context with this statement. There are also comments that Chik-fil-A makes donations to anti-gay groups which is false, since equating the president's personal contributions to Focus on the Family is not the same as the company making a donation. This is a franchise business and is individually owned and operated by people in the communities and yet of course one group has to latch on and make it about them and how this restaurant is being discriminatory when in fact it isn't. Just another way to get themselves in the news.

    All sin is responsible for God's wrath. God's Word says it is a sin. No more, no less than the others. Must be covered by the Blood Of Jesus and his forgiveness

    I do not get your meaning, Shrimp is unclean according to The Old Testament. In The New Testament God told Peter to not call things unclean that he had cleansed.The Blood of Jesus cleanses all sins. But does not let us continue too sin. Personally I do not like shrimp.

    You drive to church? That's considered working by biblical standards.

    OH. That is a statement that is off base and how else would one get there. I think God will overlook that fact. I can only lose rewards if that was true but still have eternal life. Would keep me out of Hell at least.

    Your god commanded that a man be killed for gathering sticks on the Sabbath. So, you might want to rethink driving to church and find one you can walk to.

    Numbers 15:32-36

    I do live close to walk but I go and God does not care how I get there. You can take your guilt and cram it. I do not question God's motive. If you do then you do not honor him. A woman once told my husband She lived to far to walk to church and too close to drive. It is all in the mind. At least I go.
  • sodabox star 2012/08/17 20:30:00

    I am curious. Do you think it was fair of your god to condemn a man to death by stoning for gathering sticks on the Sabbath?
  • star sodabox 2012/08/20 01:22:00

    I do not have the right to tell God to do anything He is my boss I am not his. If you want to condemn him for his actions, you are braver than I am. I am in my creator hands. He is not in mine. There is no such thing as being fair.

    That's a good example of what is wrong with religion: you stop thinking for yourself and put it in "god's hands".

    According to Matthew 5:22 “anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.”

    Maybe you should follow your religion if you really believe in it.

    So but anyway I ride not drive. it is not work but worship. What I do for God is not work. I do nothing for Satan and I do not worship him, Apparently you do. If you are not for God you are for Satan.

    Your god killed millions, maybe billions, in the bible. Satan only killed 10 people, Job's family, and he had to ask god, and god said YES.

    You do not know Satan and his demons, Satan was a liar and a murderer from the beginning. You are wrong. God told Satan he could do any thing to Job except take his life,

    I can't speak for God. Dan Cathy shouldn't either.

    I would question, though, why an all-knowing God would make homosexuals and then condemn them.

    (This message comes to you from a person who SUPPORTS Dan Cathy's right to say stupid things.)

    He doesn't have to be arrested but everyone with a brain should be shouting him down as if he had done something horrid, which he did.

    Everyone "with a brain" IS shouting him down for one reason or other--so much so, in fact, that people started resisting the shouts as a political witch hunt and running to his/Cathy's defense in droves.

    There's a message in that, I think, which has nothing to do with Cathy, his stupid/prejudicial pronouncements or even gays themselves.

    If anything, tensions between gays and "the rest of America" have been made WORSE not by Cathy's stupidity, but by gays' reaction to it. Point being, sometimes 'shouting down' a person can run contrary to one's own cause.

    No. I would have gone . . .uh, pardon me. . .'straight' to the kiss-ins. I wouldn't try to shut down the man's business (thereby putting all his employees on government assistance).

    That's what bothers me the most about these witch hunts: very little time is spent considering the ramifications of any particular style of protests. Most Americans are sensitive to the rights of the underdog. That *could* have been the gay community or gays themselves, but because of their reaction they made the object of their revulsion the underdog. Dumb.

    Consider: how does it happen that a man with provincial, narrow-minded and intolerant attitudes becomes the victim? When you can answer that question, you'll understand why witch hunts AREN'T the best tool to use in a situation like this.

    The idea is not to put him out of business but to get him to re-think his position. The boycott would end when he apologizes for his remarks. You think expecting an apology is too much to ask?
  • Transqu... sodabox 2012/08/08 17:43:17
    Transquesta
    Nope! That's MORE than reasonable. I don't think I'd permanently hinge a boycott on the demand for such, however. If he doesn't give in, he won't be the one to suffer. His employees will.

    Whenever leadership does something stupid, it is the workers that suffer for it. This isn't an exception to that rule.

    I, too, support his right to SAY whatever idiotic hateful nonsense he wants. But he is not just speaking, he is giving his money to groups which actively support discriminatory policies, and even the execution of gays in Uganda. I think that goes beyond speech.
