Hating on Chickfila...Why??

Rev, I’m jealous of your attitude. I am a backseat driver. If I don’t understand exactly what’s going on, then I throw a fit!

AHS, I’m jealous of your attitude too… The holy spirit probably thinks you’re nice and respectful… calling it a shepherd. I’ve been calling it a bunch of things lately, but nothing very nice. Is that the secret, be respectful? I’m seriously asking, because my approach lately is go ahead and be honest how I’m feeling. Also, I know I am heard. But in my experience, the HS doesn’t bother to elaborate or argue.

I don't understand the nature of the Holy Spirit aside from it being God's voice to our subconscious, and sometime to our conscious.

The owner of the flock is God the Father ALmighty, and His Shepherd over it is Christ Jesus. The nature of the trinity is a mystery, but I do not refer to the Holy Spirit as our Good Shepherd, that would be Christ Jesus, who listens for our cry of repentance, hurt, praise or whichever the Holy Spirit convicts us to do, and finds us, makes us clean again for the owner, His Father, our Father.

The memo, "Chick-fil-A: Who We Are," will be distributed to all corporate employees and restaurant operators, encouraging them to "treat every person with honor, dignity and respectregardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender," Moreno said.
In a letter to the alderman, the company wrote that WinShape is "taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas." Chick-fil-A agrees to stop funding antigay groups, Chicago alderman says | The Lookout - Yahoo! News

If it is true and it happens, I will enjoy those sandwiches greatly!!!

Wonder if Huckabee will call for a support chicken sandwich purchase on the one year anniversary?

Just another business deal, made millions on one day of hype and propaganda. It is to easy to whip up the base in blind enthusiasm.

Never was big on their over priced sandwiches anyways. But I think it's ludicrous for a govt agency to pull thier permits to open a new store b/c their CEO has an opinion.

But anyhow, I think he's actually stupid for compromising his values in the pursuit of the almighty buck, which this is clearly a case of.

Hoped they would have taken a stand and stuck to it.

That makes me more upset with them than what I was feeling.
I didn't like the mixing of business and religion for free advertisement. But to step down and turn around seems chicken or maybe fishy.

Well, you know what they say about snake......smells like fish, but tastes like chicken.

PS......Down here in KY I got a little 23 acre paradise. Well, it's a couple knobs with 2 wet weather springs. But anyways, got a rattler there about 3 yrs ago, almost 6 ft long. And the ole man up the road skinned it and cooked it up, and man........delish

Better than anything chickfila ever plated.

I heard it is good. Just hard to catch.

6ft snake, I'd have to use a long gun.

I ran it over with a 4 wheeler, not paying no attention.

You know, I spent the next 2 days out there scouring every nook and cranny in the mountainside looking for more.......didn't see as much as a garter snake.

They chose now to persecute Dan Cathy because the gay agenda has been successfully pushed far enough along that it's now the cool thing to be pro-gay and evil to be pro-God. Godlessness spreads faster than a wildfire.

This has nothing to do with the First Amendment. It has everything to do with political correctness.

Same with Muslims. Thanks in part to the President's overtures, it's PC to be pro-Muslim.

Yes, it seems no one is "old fashioned" anymore. I certainly fit into that group considering my non-political correct values. I don't think it's about the inclusion of gays in the sanctity of marriage but rather the idea that,given enough time, we can make a case for ANYTHING if we just yell loud enough and get a bunch of people to get in your face and say "you are gonna like it or you are going to be labeled a bigot or a hater."

They knew Dan Cathy was a Christian from the start and he never hid it...Why did they choose now to persecute this guy? All he said is he believes in a one man one woman marriage because the bible confirms it and thats the right way to have a functioning house hold...Why try and bash the guy for exercising his first admendment and not even in a hateful fashion towards the gays...Yet they know the guy who owns most of the oil for the oil companies is a muslim yet they dont try to put him on the spot so he can say we put gay people to death on site....I guess boycotting chicken is alot easier then gas

you know, there is always two sides to every story, i am just reading this website ( it is an lgbt affiliated, so i can not be 100% certain of it's accuracy, but then again, sadly, Christians are not much better)

it stated Dan statement "We are very much supportive of the family the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives,

it then go on to quote an ex employee statement "I want Dan Cathy to make a public statement that said that Chick-fil-A, their leadership team and the Cathy family love all of Gods children including gay and divorced children, Cammett told WGCL-TV.

i think this ex employee has a point, God did tell us to hate the sin, and love the sinners.

where is Dan love for Gay community?

if this website is telling the truth, then he deserved to get boycotted.

i do not know if God would be on his side too.

...the first part of that made sense, at least, though I didn't agree with it. But most of it just....didn't make any kind of sense? How is donating money (HIS money) to causes he supports, in any way related to the "mark of the beast"? And where on Earth does anti-christ fit in here??

Small scale sample I know but even from here its does interest me that it seems generally men who get more exercised about the whole homosexuality thing than women. I've never really heard much said about it by female Christians. Is there a reason for that - women in general do seem more relaxed re showing affection to other women (and I mean in a non-sexual context) whereas often even some male Christians attitudes comes perilously close to sounding like homophobia (and I can hear plenty of that from some of the heavy drinking, womanising, married, never darkened a church door guys I work with).

good point. i noticed that too. i often wonder if male Christians are often a little obsessed about gays and use such strong languages when talking about them is partly due to their inner homophobia?

many of them do not seem to feel that strongly about other sins?

and are not all sins are equal?

I have never met a Christian who stands for Biblical values and knows what God says about homosexual sex who is afraid of homosexuals. "Homophobia" (a recent invention) is a word homosexuals and their supporters use in an attempt to belittle and make seem ill Christians who take a Biblical stance but is really not a valid word for that stance.

Homophobia is a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). Definitions refer variably to antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, irrational fear, and hatred

i have no doubt "many" Christians who are homophobic are not slightest intimidated by homosexuals. it is homosexuals who should feel intimidated by them

yes, i think many gay activists probably used those words on people who hold such stance on homosexual behaviors, that said, if those very same Christians who actually obey God words and love the sinners, they probably wont be on the receiving end of such accusation so often!

and if they did crossed into hating the sinners, then they are homophobic!

so please, do not cherry pick the passages out of scripture please!

God clearly tells us we are to hate the sin but love the sinners!

revrobor · Oct 1, 2012

I have never seen a homosexual protest that made a differenciation between Christians to whom they apply the homophobic word. The Bible is clear that God condemns homosexual sex (not the homosexuals) is true and we should be busy educating Christians who don't understand that. But we should not be about supporting homosexual causes.
