Chick Fil A gives protestors free chicken sandwiches and drinks

[QUOTE="TacticalDesire"]

Nope, but I would imagine that everyone with a high ranking position in the corporate-side of the company shares more or less the same opinion.

Maybe, they may prefer to spend their money on other things, then again some of them may very well donate too. I just doubt that any high-ranking member of Chick-Fil-A actually disagrees with what Cathy is doing.

I don't think he harmed his business by saying his views, sure he may have turned away some pro gay-marriage customers but he also probably attracted support from pro traditional marriage people.

Show us where Truett Cathy said anything about gay marriage.

Goodnight OT. Sleep tight and pat yourselves in the back.

And this is where you show that you haven't really paid attention to what has been posted at least 3 times in other threads.

[QUOTE="toast_burner"]]No one asked you to agree with it. I don't agree with drug abuse yet I'm all in favour of decriminalizing all drugs.

You wouldn't like someone taking away your rights, so why do it to other people, you say because god, but what if they take away your rights to believe in that god/ You have no idea how many atrocities have been committed by people all with the exact same mindset as you.

champion837

My mindset isnt the same just because I follow the rules of Bible that others have misrepresented. If that were the case then you can state what you think is right and wrong, and then I would say that Adolf Hitler had a mindset like you because he was an atheist and believed a lot of the things that many atheists did. That is a double standard. Just because you dont believe in a religion, doesnt make you not subject to that. We all follow a moral way of life. The stances that I take arent in void just because others who mightve believed the way I did, did something terrible with them.

Hitler was an atheist, but he wasn't really a mamber of any currently existing religion. He was mostly Christina but did not fit into any of the churches so he made his own.

I never mentioned religion, I said you. You are saying that if you don't like something then it is should not be allowed, you are forcing those views on to other people. You are evil.

Being that I live in the Atlanta area, where Truett Cathy formed his restaurants and CFA and his other companies make the news regularly here. It would be remiss of me for not knowing the difference between who was who.

OT has a big problem with spouting off without being aware of the facts or knowing the facts and even worse, disregarding or distorting the facts. I just thought you were above that, but maybe I was wrong. I know that you are passionate about how you live and what rights you should have, but that does not exempt you from getting things right.

And I really dont care tbh. Because for me its not so important to stigmatize specifically the one who said it. Its mostly about the mindset itself and I tend to refer vaguely to Chick-Fil-A when talking about this issue exactly because I cant be bothered to know exactly who said it.

Honestly, there arent any chick-fil-A's anywhere near where I live or even in my part of the country, for that matter. Must be a southern or western chain.

You are saying that if you don't like something then it is should not be allowed, you are forcing those views on to other people. You are evil.toast_burner

You dont think certain things should be allowed (like everyone else). Does that make you evil?

While I support same sex marriage, this is overkill. Its the opinion of one man (last I heard, free speech was a given), and doesn't reflect on the company as a whole, while its also a Christian based company that is closed on Sunday so is anyone honestly surprised?

There are worse issues in the world then the thoughts of one guy who happens to own a chicken chain.

[QUOTE="toast_burner"]

[QUOTE="champion837"] Thats what you do when you determine what you think is right and wrong. Just because I worship God doesnt mean that you should think that what you believe isnt any less "personal" than what I believe. You have a moral code you determine things by, I do as well. The moral code that you determine what is right and wrong is YOUR PERSONAL BELIEF as well. This isnt different.champion837

What am I forcing on you?

A persons freedom ends when it infringes upon someone elses freedom.

If I steal I am taking something away from it's owner who may not have wanted to let it go. If I kill someone I am ending a life that wasn't mine to end.

chick fil a won

more people showed up on chick fil a day than people showed up on kiss day. which goes to show more people don't want gat marriage than want it. Gay marriage will not be leagalized anytime soon

Prostitution doesnt infringe upon other people's freedom. But yet that is outlawed.

Most CFAs are in food courts at shopping mall's across the country. That does not mean that they do not count as a restaurant. It has only been in the last 15 years or so that stand alone stores have exploded across the US though their first stand alone store opened in the 80s.

[QUOTE="toast_burner"]

[QUOTE="champion837"] Prostitution is illegal. And prostitution is illegal because it promotes something that society doesnt want for people (whether it be for religious purposes, cultural purposes, etc), whether or not the people involved want it.champion837

What point are you trying to make? Two wrongs don't make a right, surely they told you that in Sunday school.

I think it was good of them but I would not actually say that Chick-fil-A is a Christian business. It is founded on Christian principles but this is not the same thing. If it were a Christian business then it would only hire Christians and would seek to evangelize. mindstorm

So what if you think it's wrong? Nobody is forcing you to hire a prostitute, just like nobody is forcing you to marry someone of the same sex.

The point is that you can understand why many people hold that view, and that the things that people find moral isnt soley on if that person is forced to take part in that particular thing.

You said same sex marriage should not be allowed as your religious beliefs go against it. So you're against equality and freedom of religion, the two main things for any civilized country.
