Bigoted Organization "Chic-Fil-A" infiltrates facebook

Don't tell phatscotty that, he'll point to state referenda from 10 years ago (and one recent one from South Carolina) and say that the public clearly is against gay marriage.

This is all a sideshow on the road to equality, because the dinosaurs like this chicken-pusher dude are on the way out. Progress wins over time, and always has.

I suspect it's the same in the US: thanks to the shift in public attitudes towards homosexuality over the past, what, 30 years, most young people these days do not have any issue with same-sex marriage at all. A YouGov survey recently found that 75% of those aged 18-25 say same-sex relationships are just as valid, next to 49% of people over 60 years of age. Who's going to die off first, I wonder?

I see what you are suggesting, heavycola. Time to start eliminating the young so the old can remain in power forever. :D:D

It's war. And remember, Andy, war is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this forum post finds you, and finds you well.

Heavycola, the ocean is as blue and progressive as it was in your dreams.

I only have one thing to say:

[GreecePwns]

People are free to be speak intolerantly, but that doesn't take away from the intolerance of their speech.

Wanna come back from your divorced reality for one second and make a f'n bet????

This was less than a week ago. 35,000 people showed up to volunteer their time and money in Dallas Texas. These people filled up 14 semis full of food and dropped it off to the 14 worst off communities all around the country. They are filling the semi's again. They have been filling them since before you became the new pimpdave.

These people know exactly what Jesus said about helping the poor and hungry and homeless.

The point stands. This was a record sales day across the US, not just in Texas.
These are the Christians of summer.

Considering the Restoring Love volunteer event was the largest ever single mobilization of volunteers outsides a disaster area, I'm pretty sure it would also count as a record.

What does that have to do with Christians?

What does the Chick-Fil-A event have to do with Christians then?

I'll ask you the same questions I asked Phatscotty, which he unsurprisingly ignored:
Do you find it likely that a load of non-Christians would have been patronizing Chick-Fil-A on that particular day?
Likewise, do you find it likely that a load of non-Christians would have been working at a food bank in Dallas on those particular days?
Your answers would probably be educational for you, if you paid any mind to them.

Freedom of speech doesn't come without repercussions of that speech, you realize...

For those of you who somehow don't know, Chic-Fil-A has positioned itself pretty terribly in the business world after their president took a publicly Anti-Gay stand.

I happen to agree with the above statement, so I guess I am also a bigot.....or just simply someone with morals.

Why is something that doesn't affect anyone else negatively considered "immoral"?

It effects one's relationship with God. If God says, "Lying is wrong, don't do it." Then I'm compelled to believe lying is wrong. If my child talks back to me, he/she isn't hurting anyone but it's still wrong.

Yes, but lying impacts other people. If your neighbor lies to your child, it could cause anything from minor irritation to very serious harm. Homosexuality does not impact your child, at all.

"thou shalt not be homosexual" is also not one of the 10 commandments, while thou shalt not lie is.

[jay_a2j]

arguing with people like jay is pretty much the most time-wasting thing you can possibly do.


Ten bucks says you get an undesirably inadequate response and this conversation gets nowhere.

Will that $10 be cash, check or charge?

Oddly enough, the 10 commandments does not list every sin. Homosexuality is sin. Spin it anyway you wish, but sin is sin. Sin is not defined as something which harms other people but rather sin is disobedience to God. God has said, homosexuality is "detestable" to him. I'm not going to argue with him.

No, God loves all people as should Christians. God hates sin, as should Christians. (sin not sinners)

[Juan_Bottom]

I think you're all missing something. Jay's the only one with balls to say that this is an issue with religion. Everyone else is trying to pretend like it's a social issue where the Religious right just happens to be united on one side.

It effects one's relationship with God. If God says, "Lying is wrong, don't do it." Then I'm compelled to believe lying is wrong. If my child talks back to me, he/she isn't hurting anyone but it's still wrong.

"Chic-Fill-A" has been busted out for lying. That is one of the Commandments.

Oddly enough, the 10 commandments does not list every sin. Homosexuality is sin. Spin it anyway you wish, but sin is sin. Sin is not defined as something which harms other people but rather sin is disobedience to God. God has said, homosexuality is "detestable" to him. I'm not going to argue with him.

But didn't he say that in the Old Testament? And didn't Jesus come along to replace the laws of the Old Testament? Leviticus also says that you cannot cut your hair, have tattoos, or wear clothes made out of multiple fabrics. People ignore those laws, but then want to apply the anti-gay one.
Jesus himself didn't mention Homosexuality a single time, and that makes me believe that it wasn't important.
