I guess you don't understand the 24/7/365 nature of a boycott. Calling out all bigots for a one day rally doesn't balance the long term loss in business. Remember the tortoise and hare story? Long term you lose.
This is why Chick-Fil-A corporate already issued a statement saying they were leaving the debate to the political arena from this point on and were not going to focus on this issue anymore. They recognize the potential for damage to their long term business over this.
God's Law was given to God's People to administer God's Justice in their society.
In a secular society moral/legal decisions are based on the whim of everchanging popular opinion [which can be manipulated by evil men.]
Btw... unlike secular injustice, under God's Law there are no prison punishments where men are caged and raped repeatedly.
.
"God's law was given to God's people to administer God's justice in their society."
This one is absolutely false, even based on Biblical terms. Does, "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven" sound familiar? Luke 6:37.
"In a secular society moral/legal decisions are based on the whim of everchanging popular opinion"
That's true for the most part. But popular opinion really doesn't change that much regarding morality. And the number of atheists in prisons is far lower than the number of Christians. That's not to say Christians are bad people, of course not. But to say atheists are without morals and will destroy society is just incorrect.
"Btw... unlike secular injustice, under God's law there are no prison punishments where men are caged and raped repeatedly."
No, but there are stonings and burnings at the stake. Plenty of executions.
I take it back, they made it a freedom of speech issue.
Before they stepped in with their stupidity, however, it wasn't a freedom of speech issue.
The entire boycott surrounded the owner giving profits to groups that actively seek to discriminate against homosexuals.
Nothing more, nothing less.
No. These organization do not actively seek to discriminate against homosexuals. They actively seek to insure the law in America that has been the law in America since America was America does not change.
There is a huge difference.
Regardless, America just gave the slapdown to gay rights people by voting with their stomachs and spending millions at CFA.
No. These organization do not actively seek to discriminate against homosexuals. They actively seek to insure the law in America that has been the law in America since America was America does not change.
...By continuing the discrimination of homosexuals.
I know it's hard to wrap one's mind around that when they can't even leave their cave, but that's just how it is. The current stance of American law when it comes to homosexuals is discrimination. Nothing more, nothing less.
It is when that issue affects a minority negatively. Which seeking to keep homosexuals down does.
Yes.
It is.
Yes the are. you may not like it but your side OWNS thier words. Period.
and if you are right, then every single person who gives money to Barak Obama is a bigot who hates me because I want to live free from his policy. (see how stupid this gets?)
You believe a victimless crime should not be a crime. And you set your own rules, so there is no point in this discussion. You have decided what should be. And by the way, no sin is victimless.
Well, to be clear I believe there are exceptions to that. I don't think people should be able to use heroin because of the potential of a victim, and the potential harm to the user (which then becomes the victim of his or her own act).
I'm not clear on why you say that there is no point in this discussion because I set my own rules. If you could elaborate on that statement further I'd be able to respond better.
