CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Tatu-->So in other words, this public relations fiasco is another example of why Christians are perceived as misinformed and easy to manipulate.
Bottom line. As long as it's against gay people, we're all for it!Hate them gays. That's where we draw the line!
Sorry you feel that way. Perhaps it's another example of Christians twisting the truth to get an emotional response, and push an agenda dishonestly? I sure do not hate gays, but will no more financially reward their sinful lifestyle than I would some group of pedophile advocates.

Well, would you donate money to a ministry that simply told gay people that Jesus loves them? I know I haven't.
Gay people really think we hate them.

Yes, I would donate to said ministry. As long as they taught salvation through Christ.
Or they say we do. They are no more stupid than the rest of the populace, but they 'hear' what helps them make their case. It has to do with manipulation. The media had given us a sense of 'feel-good' causes and led us to the point that many of us believe it. Of course, it is much less than honest, plays on our emotions, and is a shoddy substitute for genuine goodness through Christ. Remember reading about "filthy rags"?

A second worker upset over Wal-Mart's newly-contrived "gay" agenda is quitting the retail chain to take a stand for Christianity, and is citing a report from WND about another woman who also decided she'd had enough.
Karin Laginess, of Auberndale, Fla., told WND yesterday that it was as if "God hit me" when she saw the earlier WND report about Janet Baird.
Baird, of Ohio, heard the shocking new plans that WND had reported several weeks ago directly from the mega-corporation's international headquarters: that the company is, in fact, contributing to the financial and moral agenda of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.
She quit, and now Laginess has joined her.
"I just got home from shopping at Winn-Dixie," Laginess told WND yesterday. "I am not going to buy anything else from Wal-Mart again."
She promised her supervisor she would give two weeks' notice, and she only has a few days left on that.
"The minute my husband made me aware of this, I started to just cry," she said. "It broke my heart to see them choose to side themselves with what I call such an immoral organization. I just sat and cried."
She had been discussing moral decline in America with her husband just a few days earlier, and had concluded that's just what the world is coming to these days.
Then when she discovered the chain at which she's shopped since it opened also had chosen that very direction to move, and she realized she could make a choice – let it go and conclude that's just the way of the world, or make a stand.
It was as if God told her: "Hey there, even you are beginning to be that way, letting other people tear down God's word."
"I felt I was beginning to become numb to some things," she said, so decided to make her stand.
"Within a couple hours, I had written out my resignation letter," she said, and although her supervisor asked her to reconsider, she hasn't felt the need.
"I stated exactly why I was leaving, because the company had gone into partnership with this league," she said.
Her husband sent an e-mail to Wal-Mart, "but of course we have not heard back from them."
"Jesus would love people, but he wants them not to be sinning," she said. "I feel like I can do more for the Lord's work by quitting, and boycotting if I can do that, and telling others about it."
Baird had told WND just about a week earlier of her decision. She had worked for the chain for years, rising through the ranks and even running wedding fairs and other promotions.
But she said she felt strongly that she needed to not be in that environment any longer.
"I got God backing me. That's where I stand on it," she told WND in an interview.
It was during an interview with WND in August Wal-Mart spokesman Bob McAdam said, "It is correct that we have a dialogue with the (gay chamber). This is just what businesses do."
Baird said Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton was such a moral man, "he wouldn't even allow music to be sold in his stores if it had bad language."

Professors make amazing discovery after intensive study at Cornell University:
Wal-Mart is a business, not a ministry.

Not all gays believe we HATE them, I know that 100% for sure.
There is a homosexual gentleman who I have been friends with for three years. We go to broadway shows together (he's the only friend I have who likes broadway), and until my move, we spent a lot of time talking about a great many things, one of them being homosexuality and Christianity. (He's actually a relative of my husband)
He knows where I stand, and I know where he stands, but the one thing that frustrates me the most. He went to a Christian college, and at a time when he was asking the most questions, a (I won't mention the denomination) MINISTER actually told him that the bible was only a book written by man, and so he could disregard the parts written about homosexuality.
That completely breaks my heart so much words could not possibly express.
I love this person, Jesus loves this person, but neither I nor Jesus love the homosexuality in him. And this man knows I care very much about him, and he realizes that not all who say "Lord, Lord!" actually believe and live what they say. And I cannot believe that he is the ONLY homosexual who realizes this.

Well, I for one AM doing everything I can to give them Jesus, and at the same time doing everything I can to not support the homosexual agenda.
Both really can be done! what a concept

Agreed, anyone who does that, furrysmom, is wrong. I do not. I witness to, pray for, and love them. But for you and others to purposely, knowingly make it seem we are somehow displaying hatred just because we don't want our money to go to a cause to elevate the lifestyle, that is really unfair. Wouldn't you say?
