That's for sure, Brian. I believe that in this thread it's primarily members of the religious right who keep saying boycott, because that's what they would do.
Well, when you keep calling people that don't agree with your philosophy 'haters', you are adding to it.
What else can it be but hate for an entire group of people to try to legislate against providing civil rights to another group of people?
The haters point to a spot in the bible to justify their hatred. But if they believed every item, literally, in the bible, they would never enjoy lobster or shrimp, since the bible says don't eat 'em.
Why don't Christians legislate against fish sellers, then, if Christians believe everything they read in the bible?
I'm not sure how any one person's love for another has ever affected any "Christian" person. Yet "Christians" act like they are under attack.
Imagine for one moment if a group of people decided that YOUR heterosexual relationship was sinful, wrong, and you should never, ever, have an opportunity to marry the one you love, to the point that they wanted to change laws?
Would you not speak up? Would you not ask, why? Would you not ask, "What difference does it make to THEM?"
Of course you would.
There's a battle going on here, and it's being funded by the Salvation Army and Chick-Fil-A, among others.
It's important to know who you're doing business with, and it starts at the local level.
How much better it would be if those groups spent the time and money on helping others instead of hurting them?
Of course, the Salvation Army does a lot. So does Goodwill and the American Red Cross -- but they do it without the addition of hatred.
It's not about debating. It's about thinking and treating others as you would like to be treated. (Open your books and read Luke 6:31 )

Yeah, it's a question of priorities, for sure. I told my son I hope we can find a recipe to try to make something like it at home! That way I can use local free-range chicken, too. I know it won't be exactly Chick-fil-A, but it might even be better. Like I can't recreate Pillsbury biscuits-from-a-can (which have their own charm), but my homemade biscuits are really good for different reasons.
You can try the "southern style" McDonalds chicken sandwhich as a substitute.
On a side note, who didn't know that Chick-Fil-A was a private family owned, christian owned company. Why do you think it's closed on Sundays's. Why do you think you get free food for bringing in a churcj bulletin on Mondays? S. Truett Cathy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Cathy Family

I think some people feel under attack because they want it all and it's not how things work.

Because that is under the old covenant, not the new. When Jesus came he established a new covenant. The rules about food do not necessarily apply to you unless you still follow the old covenant.

Well there's a huge difference. If heterosexual relationships were illegal, the human race would go extinct. Not exactly the same as homosexual relationships.

Isn't that a bit hypocritical because you're talking about not supporting an organization that helps others just because you disagree with their beliefs. You can't have it both ways. If you are that concern about helping others then you would support the organization despite their beliefs because you and I both know that they have a long history of helping others. Are there beliefs stopping them from support others or is it stopping you from helping? Something to think about. By the way can I ask a quick question.....
ARE WE REALLY TALKING ABOUT THIS OVER SOME CHICKEN???? REALLY??? If you don't like their views go somewhere else. Goodness. There are a lot of things that McDonald's does that I disagree with but you don't see me coming on the internet making threads about it. Grow up and move on, please.

Sigh. It is difficult to teach the bible to non-believers (and some believers) so I try to avoid it.
There are references to homosexuality in the New Testament, but are not so blatant - more about them not inheriting the Kingdom, etc. I'm sure some Googling would help. But since it was translated from different languages you will need to read pretty deep for the true meaning of the words.
There was also a few passages about eating clean/unclean foods in the NT, and yet again can be found if you are looking and want to educate yourself.
I agree, why do some things in the Old Testament apply, and some don't? It is more of a problem with my Jewish friends than a Christian that knows the Word. That is where the New Testament comes in.
If you think Christians are against homos, you should see the Muslims. They wouldn't 'hate' you (your word), they would kill you.
Personally I do not expect people that do not confess to God to actually follow God's laws. To each their own.
Like I mentioned in a thread that was deleted about homosexuality AND religion - don't shove it down our throats. Either of them.
Chick-Fil-A has the cleanest facilities, the fastest and most courteous staff in the business AND the best tasting chicken of any fast food chain in the country.
This is true in just about any Chick-Fil-A you go to anywhere (what other chain can you say THAT about)?
They also happen to NOT support a lifestyle that has been considered a sin by every religion on the planet for thousands of years.
Hmmmm.....I'm sorry, what was your problem with Chick-Fil-A again???

Well, it's a theory, I suppose but it would seem that Chic-Fil-A was not used as caterers for this particular feast.
