Default I'm having Chik Fil A! I'm not disappointed

Boy I hope this doesn't get locked or deleted, since the first one was shut at the thread maker's request.

If this can continue, the last post before said thread lockage, with urbancharlotte responding to a bolded meatykins:

Here's what the bible has to say about humans judging others.

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Matthew 7:1-5

Here is what the bible says about one of the old testament laws (stoning an adulteress).

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
John 8:3-11

Now, after reading both of these passages, let's take a look at the common fundamentalist-Christian take on homosexuality.







^^^^Hmmmmmmmm? No judging or "stone casting" going on here.
I hope this works....

Maybe it should be closed. The old thread had more than run its useful course and I think that SunnyKayak made the corect decision, along with the OP, to close the thread. It had come close to breaking TOS rules and becoming highly polarised.

It feels like you're poking a sleeping dog with a stick. Not sure why you'd want to reopen a thread like this. What's the point?

Had Chick-Fil-A for lunch today. Man was it good.

If that makes me a hater, that's cool.
