Can’t see this ending well for them.
Dan Cathy, Chick-Fil-A President, On Anti-Gay Stance: ‘Guilty As Charged’
Wow! The comments in that article
and this one
and this one
are pretty intense…
Almost makes me wish there was a Chik-Fil-A in my area so that I could boycott it.
Maybe we could set up some kind of boycott exchange. Someone who lives in the south agrees not to eat at Chik-Fil-A, and you in return agree not to patronize a business in your area that they find morally reprehensible. 
Biblical definition of marriage and family? Did Mr. Chick-Filly ever read the Old Testament? Just look at the family arrangements of, say, Jacob (Israel), David, and Solomon.
Really something for every good Christian to emulate, there.
[sub]ETA: Especially that family-friendly story about David and that Chick Filly he saw bathing on the next door rooftop.[/sub]
“I’m a top.”
That’s why the Biblical ideal is given in Genesis 2: 23-25 and reinforced by Jesus in Matthew 19: 4-6. It’s very apparent that the polygamy of Jacob, David, and Solomon were the results of human failure & did not have good results.
Everything in the Bible is there for Christians as examples- but not always good examples.
Being Jewish, I vote the polygamy of Jacob was extremely successful.
Also…Chick Fil A is yummy and they treat you so nicely!
The Bible? David and Jonathan came pretty damn close to a same-sex marriage.
I assume they mean one each.
So does this mean they’re against divorce too?
In other news, well known religiously led American business has religious views in a free-speech and freedom-of-religion state.
Gasp! :o
Still better than Mitt Romney, at least this guy owns his bullshit view.
“Eat moar chicken.” > “Choke your chicken” > chicken = cock > “Eat moar [del]chicken[/del] cock.”
Hmm, I think I may be on to something here…
I think it’s awesome, how in the past, people would get this type of ostracizing and vitriol for espousing an idea that was NEW, or DIFFERENT. Something that was not totally accepted by society at large.
Now it’s anyone who DOESN’T accept the new view, anyone who wants to stick with what they’ve known their whole life, who gets the ostracism and vitriol.
It’s not like the guy’s waging a campaign or anything. An interviewer asked him, he answered. In an incredibly PC way too - citing his own family values, and the fact that he’s living his life according to a set of principles. The source of the set of principles is not open to debate obviously, because that’s another freedom we have in this country, living according to any set of principles that doesn’t cause one to infringe on other people’s rights. And he’s not.
Those principles are different than yours, but he’s not forcing them on you, or suggesting that the government legislate any of them. He’s just admitting that he’s got them, and why. That’s a damn good thing. Now you can write him a letter, and attempt to persuade him to live by some other set of principles, and can dismantle his belief system in a logical way. If he never told you, you wouldn’t be able to do that.
Or instead we could all get up in arms and cry about it on the internet, and suggest it means things it doesn’t, like that his company will now fail. Which it won’t. Chicken is yummy.
(bolding mine)
I agree, but it’s still a striking contrast to Mitt, in my opinion.
Hey, I have no problem with him holding or espousing his views. I don’t share them, but I don’t mind that he feels differently.
He’s free to hold and express those views, and contribute significant money to groups that work to bring about changes in our laws to enforce those views. I’m entitled to point out his attempts to turn that opinion into the law/keep it the law, and to avoid giving him any more money that he can use to carry this out.
Besides, he also apparently thinks he owns the trademark on “Eat Mor(e) ______” and assumes people can’t tell the difference between kale and chicken. That doesn’t say much about his product. :dubious:
You gay guys were already boycotting them (and Dominos) when they were obstructing abortion rights, because it’s not just about your own ox being gored, but rather social justice in general, right?
I’m a straight, married guy with a kid who has been boycotting dominos and chick-fil-a for years because social justice is a crucial issue. What do I win?
Missed the edit window: Straight gal, boycotted them by default because they weren’t here in Chicago until recently, never liked their political contributions anyway.
JLRogers: Some kale?
