Family values are to trust in God and stand in his righteousness, not go with the changing morals of society. It's interesting how people who love God and try to obey him are criticized for their family values. Guess what? When you hate God and refuse to obey him, that's real hate. When you hate God and attack others who want to obey him, that's real hate.
People who openly and avidly hate the Lord who gave his life that they might live are truly, really, and shamefully full of hate. How can you love your brother if you don't love the Lord? You can't. And if you want to keep your brother from obeying the Lord, you hate the Lord and you hate your brother. Very much so. Immeasurably, in fact.
People don't necessarily get attacked for obeying God in their own lives. They get attacked when they try to force everyone around them to do the same, through legislation if necessary, despite a difference in faith, or complete lack thereof.
With all the serious things going on in this World today, this is absolutely beyond ridiculous. The country, state and city are going broke and a big deal is made over someone's right to say marriage should only be between a man and woman. Obviously, there are many of you that do not think about the future of our country or care beyond your social beliefs. If you are living in a country that sucks up all your income and there are no available jobs . . . what will it matter?
EXACTLY what I thought... Our world is in shambles and marriage is all everyone cares about? Our energies can be put to ending world hunger instead, or something else that's productive.
I don't think the "kiss in" is a very well thought out idea. See, CFA is a business, and as such has no loitering policies. So if gay folks just come on the property (which includes the parking lot)and starts makin' out, they can be asked to leave the property. If they don't, they can be arrested. So in order to stick around and promote their sinful nature, they have to buy something, thus promoting the very business they are against. How awesome this will be for CFA! Because remember, CFA never said anything about anyone. It's a business. Mr. Cathy is a person, and is entitled to his beliefs and opinions. So, his belief system is still intact, the business gains more revenue, and the idiots that want to protest just show how far they are capable of thinking.
I am hardly religious, much less a fanatic, but it is sad to see a nation that was founded because of religious persecution now rise up in arms because someone has kept its mandates and principles. That homosexuality is a deviation from social norms cannot be denied but need it be publicly displayed and exhibited in grotesque parades?
Minorities ARE NOT deviants from social norms. Deviation comes from conduct, not color, language or traditions. This is not a race issue, it is that four percent of the population now dominates public media through a concentrated campaign for what they call equality when in reality it is social exploitation. Gays always existed but with the dignity of their private lives, including their sexuality. Being so respectable is no longer in vogue and we need to see protests, marches, parades, advertisements, special products, etc. If the goal is to create a homogenized society ob one-race bisexuals, then it is being slowly accomplished.
Minorities, BY DEFINITION, are deviations from social norms. The fact that you think the LGBT community "dominates public media through a concentrated campaign" demonstrates your homophobia. It's cool, just own it. A while ago, it was cool to hate black people, now not so much. One day in the future, your bigotry will die with the boomer generation.
FYI: many people came to this nation to escape religious persecution. Persecution came from men who "knew" what God wanted, and forced others to act accordingly. This is the very nature of the same intolerance displayed by Chick-Fil-A's CEO, Mr. Cathy. Have your religious views, but don't be surprised if people are offended and react when your religious views denigrate and deprecate others.
What they don't realize is that chick fi la does'nt serve chicken in a bucket.. so the gay guys can't pull the "hole in th bottom of the bucket manuver" and the don't sell drum sticks for the ladies to put in their... uh, nevermind:)))))
Does anybody know what a "kiss-in" is? The article didn't describe what the demonstration is. Are there going to be a bunch of gay people in front of a Chick-Fil-A kissing? Are they going to eat there? Are they breaking loitering laws? What the hell is a kiss-in?
People, it's a stupid fast food restaurant. WHO CARES!!!! There are a million other ones out there. As much as I am all for gay rights and against prejudice against anybody and I most certainally hate the "better than" mentality of those self righteous fanatics, they DO have the right to operate their own business as they chose. THEY think it makes them "better". Personally I think it makes them STUPID AND NORROW MINDED! It's nice that they "came out" as being the selfrighteous fanatics that they are. The thing is that they do have the right to be as stupid as they want to be in their own business. Personally, I only ate there once and didn't like it anyway! WHO CARES! People who support them have a right to go there and people who do NOT support them have a right to boycott and NOT go there. If the gay community and supporters (like me) try to FORCE them to change it is just as bad as THEM trying to make gay's change. Solution: Ignore them! They seem to think that they are so very important when in reality they are NOT!
Right, stupid. And yet--as 'norrow-minded' as they may be, at least a good majority know that it's 'narrow-minded'. Before you start putting stuff in bold, at least make sure it's spelled correctly.
So if they want to make a statement by staging a "kiss-in" how about a bunch of **** hating skin heads show up with steel-toe boots and gay bash anyone that feels the need to perform a homosexual act in public view (inside of a Chik Fil A that is).
I am not condoning that behavior, but don't they have an equal right to their beliefs and have a right to be exposed to that to which they do not agree with?
So you're likening two chicks kissing each other to a skin head with steel-toe boots screaming obscenities and or inflicting violence upon said chicks? Hmmm, that's interesting that you are SO threatened by homosexuals. Most gay/lesbian people I know are not scared of me, why should I be scared of them? They are just people trying to live their lives, just like you and I. Really no different than somebody liking blonds vs somebody liking redheads.
by RevCarter100 July 26, 2012 7:53 PM EDT Homosexually is definitly a sin. There is no doubt. Read Leviticus 18:22, Lev 20:12, Even Jesus spoke against it in the New Testament. God destroyed Sodom and Gororrah because of it. Even back in Sod the gays "DEMANDED" their way with the men at Lots House who were Angels. The Angels blinded them. Nothing has changed, Sin is still sin today as it was back then. God does not change. The Bible also that God will leave them to the destruction of their own flesh. Think about it. How many Gays comitt sucide? You to will have to face God someday even if you don't believe in him.

Are you serious? Nothing has changed???? Nothing??? In Lot's day God may have wanted Man to go forth and multiply. But today with more people on this earth than can be fed, he just MIGHT have decided slowing down a bit on the procreation MIGHT just be a good idea!
I think you need to go back and see what God said about himself. "For I am the LORD, I change not." (Mal. 3:6) The Lord hasn't changed. He will never exchange his righteousness for wickedness, either, no matter how man does.
If you see a map of Chick Fil A locations, then you'll see that they are located primarily in the South, with fewer locations in the midwest, and even less in the northeast. There are zero Chick Fil A restaurants in the state of New York. Boston and Chicago, as hometowns to Boston Chicken and McDonald's Hamburgers, seem like logical areas where the local community would have no sympathy to the competing franchise.
The regionalization of retail outlets is not uncommon. For example, two national firms with starkly different customer bases, Cracker Barrell restaurants and Whole Foods groceries, have almost no overlapping service areas. These two businesses never appear in the same community.
That's contrary to market structure theory though. While they're not perfect competitors, the two firms do compete for the same consumer food dollar, but they appeal to very different consumers. You might expect to see a Cracker Barrell with a Walmart and a Whole Foods with a Starbucks, but it makes no sense to see voids of one or the other.
A consumer base that can support a Whole Foods is not comprised 100% of liberals and a Cracker Barrell community is not 100% rural conservatives. That's why Chick-Fil-A should be able to succeed some in places like Chicago and Boston, but the overbearing hand of government may assure that they do not. And neither Whole Foods nor Cracker Barrell are stupid.
Some might argue that things have always been like that, but I'm not aware of it.

And sexual orientation comes from birth, just like the color of one's skin!
