Default Chick Fil A and boycott

We have had a small bit on the local News everyday about this failed boycott, this morning they showed our chick Fil A with a packed drive tru. It's good when people stand up for their beliefs.

I saw something (maybe you can enlighten me) that I do not see at other fast food restaurants.... The employees were walking the floor, asking everyone how their lunch was and offering to remove your tray from your table.

I saw no evidence of a Boycot here....
hmmmm, I keep seeing all these posts claiming the stores are packed, probably at lunch time, but not once has someone posted a photo to go along with those claims... wonder why, the time or two I've passed our local chikfila it looked rather empty.

Counterpoint: I've never seen you post a timestamped photo showing a CFA empty.

Why is that so hard to understand?
It isn't hard to understand. I agree with you! Christians operate under God instruction not secular law. Secular law is totally different. Secular law allow for divorce and remarriage regardless. Matthew 19:9 tells us Christians different. Some Christians want to ignore God biblical instruction on something and secular law on others.

So yes I do agree with you. Don't beat me up too bad.

I don't doubt that they're packed.

What I doubt is that it is because of the publicity rather than because people like their stuff.

What I think is happening is that the busy CFA's will remain busy and the not-so-busy ones will remain not-so-busy.

I went to Chick Fil A today....I'm sick and tired of people making others believe what they believe.....if you don't like them don't go! For people to try and bankrupt a company because the company stands by Christian beliefs? Give me a break!

Everyone is anti smoking..(no I do not smoke) so why doesn't anyone boycott Miller? This company gives a ton to Tobacco companies..... This country is becoming too politically correct

Define organized religion.

This is not a religious forum So I'm not going to go deep into theology but Christianity didn't start until the resurrection of Christ. (the first Pentecost after the resurrection of Christ acts 2) Long after the institution of marriage.

What are you writing about.

I'm not trying to beat you up, or anyone else for that matter.

If christians feel that same sex marriage is a sin, fine. Some people don't. It is a problem when these christians try to make their beliefs laws that restrict the rights of everyone.

If you aren't one of those christians, I have no problem with you. Live your life as you wish, and let me live mine withe equal rights as an American citizen.
