I'm glad they're not muslim......

Why do people assume it was Chick-fil-a's fake account? Could have very well been someone trolling to make it look like that.

[Drachen]

I thought the same thing.. it is either the worst troll job by chick-fil-a or a great troll job by someone else.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Mmmm gonna go get some nuggets

[Edward]

If the two Lesbians I worked with (one black, one Hispanic) still work at Chick Fil A, they really ought to try and squeeze some money out of Chick Fil A by offering to be in a commercial about how Chick Fil A hasn't discriminated them.

I agree... nothing proves it, and they're making it seem like it is proven.

Tastes like Burning.

either way, dumb of C-F-A to say they were pulling the toys because of safety.

incredibly stupid, especially with a company like Jim Henson Company.

Also, don't get why people get so up in arms over this stuff. They have made it known that it is a Christian based company and that this is their beliefs.They didn't say they hate gay people - but that they don't believe in gay marriage.

Thats no different than political people saying similar things and as long as they aren't discriminating against their employees or customers it should be ok with them having their own belief system. If you dont agree with their position I fully understand, but I don't get all the rage for a company just stating their already widely know beliefs (every Chick is closed on Sundays for a reason).

Rememba how hot and bothered you got over Manu being an athiest

weekly brainwashing?

No. I remember thinking it was crazy for an athlete to be out spoken about this when a large number of his fans have different beliefs. Never cared one way or another what his actual beliefs were.

That was a typical ST pile on and extreme exaggeration of one's position fueled by my stupidity with regards to constantly arguing something.

weekly brainwashing?

Whatever it is, it's widely known this is how they operate.

What's Christian about denying marriage to a group of people?

[Edward]

What's Christian about denying marriage to a group of people?

[Fpoonsie]

Too often, people confusing Biblical things w/ Christian ones, and everyone goes loose butthole.

[DPG21920]

Well, depending on your beliefs and interp of the bible, if you are wanting a marriage in a Christian church, part of being Christian is the belief that gay marriage is a sin and isn't part of their belief system.

You can agree or disagree, but people shouldn't be outraged out others beliefs as long as they are not discriminating against others or harming their rights as humans. From my understanding, they have gay employees and serve gay customers the same way they do someone who is not gay. I have heard of churches, been in churches that have several members of the congregation that are gay and they don't usher them out the door. But when it comes to Christian cermony, they typically won't marry you out of that belief system.

That would be like me asking for a Jewish ritual from a Rabbi and him telling me that he won't do it because I am not Jewish.

[VBM]

Still haven't noticed shorter lines at Chickfila

[Edward]

Right, because all Christians ever do is refuse the right to marry gays in their Church. It's not like they try to get a cons utional ban on gay marriage or anything.

the bible addresses sexuality but never same sex marriage directly.

I don't see how you can say people being denied marriage due to sexual orientation isn't discrimination.

[Edward]

Too often, people confusing Biblical things w/ Christian ones, and everyone goes tight butthole.

I thought being a Christian WAS following the bible?

[Edward]

the bible addresses sexuality but never same sex marriage directly.

The bible also allows for slavery and outlines how one should treat his slaves

Well what do you think about the topic, Ed. Do you think people have a right to be up in arms over a company publically admitting they are a Christian based company and do not believe in gay marriage?

I think it's a little mis-guided to think you won't get backlash when making a public statement like that - but I'm talking about what you think personally about the situation.
