Of course, I understand what constitutes a franchise. Bottom line is that the franchisee must meet the standards of the headquarters. If a franchisee does not meet the standards, moral, quality, etc, I would think that it might be a cause for termination of the contract.

So you are then assuming that all franchises must be anti gay ?
You were the one that brought up gluttony and that is not a sin of eating, it is a sin of eating in excess. You seemed to avoid the "excess" part in an attempt to validate your emotional anger.
Well no, I wasn't the one who brought up gluttony...
I was the one who brought up how Chick-Fil-A supports the sin of lying
And suffice to say the context of that conversation was about how fast food restaurants are fattening in general (right or wrong).

No. I understand fully that some people are against gay marriage because the bible calls it wrong. But I disagree with people blaming it on the bible because they're choosing what "sins" to oppose and what "sins" to tolerate. The question was, "How can someone deny having a personal prejudice against gays when they are only opposed to this one group of 'sinners' getting married or adopting and no other?" You see, the bible calls MANY things wrong, and this is the only group of "sinners" you guys like to pick on. That means you're going to keep getting called hateful, homophobic bigots. You demonstrate opposition against gays more than any other group of "sinners".
Did God condone and respect disobedience of him by placing the tree of the knowledge of good and evil right in front of Adam and Eve? No. He told them not to eat of it and allowed them the freedom to choose. Why have Christians deviated so far from the example (who they claim is) their "Lord" has set?
The arrogance displayed in that statment is appalling. A certain group of people that believes in a fundamentalist, literal interpretation of a Bronze Age book of fairy tales may agree with you, but that is not even close to "about all".
For many people the very concept of sin is absurd. If there is no god, how can there be any sin?
I find it funny every time someone mentions how old the Bible is as an a defense against it. Some of the best and most factual books in the world are very old. And because something is new certainly does not make it good. If you do not want to believe in your Creator, that is your problem. But please come up with a better point to argue that the Bible's age.

Come on, happytexan, you are from the South just like me. Don't you think that the good ol southern boys (Cathys) personally do a background check, meet the prospective franchisees' family members, find out which church they worship at, etc? They are very selective in the awarding of their franchises. They can afford to pick and choose who they want. The franchisees don't necessarily have to be "anti-gay" as you state, but they are certainly on the conservative side of the spectrum.
They dang sure aren't going to pick a flaming liberal to run one of their stores!
It says it is a sin. We all sin, some of us can admit when we do, others... well...
So why aren't ALL "sinners" being banned from marriage?
