Chick Fillet Boycott Report

[Yrdawg]

I think the rights of the minority seem to outweigh the rights of the majority because we stopped teaching religion and the Constitution in our schools. We have allowed our country to be run by feel good politicians under the cloak of "democracy". Few people understand that our democratic government is a Republic, not a democracy. I cringe every time I hear someone talk about democracy because I know they are talking through ignorance.
Once we have elevated our society to a point that individual rights equal the rights of the majority we have then set up a form of government that is anarcist in it's very nature. Our founders were wise enough to create a system of majority rule (a Republic) with out outwardly tramping the rights of a minority as long as that minority was not destructive in it's political nature.
We can all peacfully co exist, but our laws must be followed and those laws must be based on a moral code that is consistant with the majority of citizens. I believe religion is absolutely critical to the operations of any government while at the same time it is absolutely critical that government does not corrupt the morality of a church by creating and enforcing laws that are contrary to church doctrine.
It truly saddens me to see the state of our nation. I have made it my goal to study it's laws and history, to obeys all laws that are not contrary to the will of God, to financially support the church through tithes and offerings,support the Jewish people who I believe are the chosen of God, to defend the Constitution with all that I can. The scriptures teach that we all fall short of the glory of God and a Leonidas pointed out we are living under grace which benefits us mere gentiles because it exempts us from living under the law, but it does not allow us to violate it.
We can freely choose to obey whatever god we choose or serve no god at all. If we choose to follow the scriptures then we must do so with all our hearts, soul and body as required. To do anything else would violate His word. We can do this because God created us a creatures of choice (free will) and the Constitution of the United States of America and the Declaration of Independence gave us the civil right to do so. Our founders declared these rights to be "...truths to be self evident...and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."
As with all things are rights are not free and they are not all encompassing. We should hold them dear and defend them with all that we have. If these rights are contrary to a select group or faction then fight for change. You have that right also. You don't have the right to do so by slander, disruption or chaos.
But...I could be wrong.

Marriage is and always will be an institution of the church. It is, and should be, up to the church whether or not they will allow gay marriages. If they allow it, then the state that church resides in should be required to honor it if they are honoring any marriages.

Civil unions are a matter of the state and if the state rules that civil unions among gays is legal, then they have all the rights of married people in the eyes of the government.

It is SO STUPID that gay people insist on being accepted into a religion that doesn't agree with their views. It's so arrogant to say anyone else HAS TO accept me and all of my beliefs because otherwise they are close-minded and hateful.

Leave marriages to be regulated by the church. If the church decides to honor gay marriage, then there ya go. If not, then it's up to the state to decide if they will allow civil unions.

The fact that someone had the integrity to be straight-forward about their views, however unpopular, should be praised.

There is no easy way to put this but if you believe in "the church" then you believe in the Bible and it has long since been decided what the Bible supports. If a church decides to change the rules then the church is not a Christian church anymore. It can call itself what ever it wants to but it isn't Christian.

Chick-Fil-A - good service, good food, good people. My money is well spent there and will continue to be.

 

[oleheat]

So I wonder if it's dawned on the Career Activists and enlightened college idiots yet that Dan Cathy is laughing his ass off at them right now??

I know a number of Christians that volunteer at the BR food bank. You are wrong.

how is this relevant moe? the issue is about a person being shunned and his business boycotted by a sector of the population because of his opinion. the crowds were simply a non-verbal way of the rest of the population saying, hey, we feel like the guy has a right to his opinion.

 

[Hunh Bruh]

yes, what thing can you do to tell a person you want to spend the rest of your life with? i say giving up your virginity would be the highest tier thing on the list of covenant related practices..

thats pretty cool, I will not say I am surprised. Pray the Gay away, now with virgins.

Wait- you mean they know it was exclusively Christians showing up to support Dan Cathy's right to free speech? Man- maybe they are enlightened!

 

[Vanilla Gorilla]

They are executin their right to protest and boycott. When the Dixie Chick broad shot her mouth off she was boycotted. It's the same thing. I don't think enlightenment has much to do with it.

Any body Going to eat at chic fil a tomorrow for he gay in day? Im thinking about going to see if theynhave any hot chicks making out. With my luck though it will be nothing but ugly ones

 

[LACamper]

Their lemonade is good. So are their milk shakes. I like their fries and I'm not really a fry nut but that seems to be a personal choice (waffle fries).

I think the bigger issue is that chic fila is a Catholic company. They don't open, and never have opened, on Sundays. They openly say its for religious reasons. The liberals don't like that. They found a comment to stir up their fan base with. Plus it gets attention off the Obama 'you didn't make that business' comment.

I believe Hobby Lobby is another company with strong religious beliefs, doesn't open on Sundays.

CFA is not a Catholic company.

I was in Gulfport for lunch yesterday at Chick-Fe-La with long lines at 2 p.m. It felt good to make my statement that I agree that the C.E.O. of that company could speak his mind.
I believe Obama started this Nationaly when he " I support Gay marriage ".That was wrong as being the President of this nation, in a political arena .So I suppose I early voted with my statement yesterday.

This was going on long before Obama became president.

As far as Dan Cathy, whoever was interviewing him had an idea about his background and knew what his stance would be. That reporter knew it would make a splash and asked hoping Cathy would answer with what Cathy believed. He was right and it made a huge splash. Obama has NOTHING to do with this.

If a church decides to change the rules then the church is not a Christian church anymore. It can call itself what ever it wants to but it isn't Christian.

The whole premise of Chrisianity is based on not doing what the word of God says and being forgiven for our sinful ways. If what you say is true, any time you do something contrary to the word of God, you are no longer a Christian.

What a crock of ****. All the projects, hospitals, and events that Christians support with their funding and labors seriously dwarfs any other group's effort to do the same.

S. Truett Cathy (the company founder) is a Southern Baptist.... I assume his son (Dan Cathy) is, but he could be Catholic (I highly doubt it).

The official company stance on the "closed on Sundays" isn't absolutely religious, but I'm sure it is inspired by it. It's intended to ensure their work force gets a day off to spend with their families. They definitely don't openly say it is for religious reasons, but most people assume it.

In this country, rights are the same for everybody.

The majority does rule this country. The problem is, you think you are in the majority..... you may not be.... at least on every issue. I think most people assume most others think the same way they do. They don't, but most people make that assumption that the brain's of others work like theirs.

You'll need to back that up.

Plus it gets attention off the Obama 'you didn't make that business' comment.

Now you're on to something. Throw the whole thing back in the liberals face with Ob@#$'s logic. The Cathy family didn't build this company, the government did. So the offending characteristics must be of their own making. They're just like the loonie bin residents cutting themselves with razor blades. They did it to themselves and don't even know it.
