Love it.  Those nuggets? Fantastic.  A little too hot right out of the oven though  :frown:

Had my first chick fil a ever about a month ago.  was not impressed at all.  just had the run of the mill chicken sandwich.

And you can't use religion as an excuse to be a bigot.

Stating that someone is a bigot for believing something over another seems a little silly to me. The statement wasn't hateful at all.

How again does chick fil a discriminate?  Do they not serve gay people?

Being denied a business license because of your owner's religious beliefs, on the other hand, is discrimination.

So it's OK for CFA to oppose people who believe gays who marry should be recognized by the government (not any religious institution), but it's not OK for people to oppose CFA for holding that belief?

That's quite the pickle.

The strip mall that the chick-fil-a is in on the east side of Wichita still has to hire off-duty cops to patrol the whole rough ridin' parking lot so that people don't park in spots 100 yards away to eat there.

guys,

instead of trying to put them out of business and thus causing them to not be able to serve their little nugget things, how about we just do stuff to hurt their bottom line. like maybe fork their grass at night and then they have to pay someone to remove the forks and thus hit them where it hurts. their bottom line.

I'm on the wrong side of a civil rights movement because I believe it's wrong for the mayor of Boston to block a store from competing in a market due to a difference in beliefs?

I have no problem with gay people or gay marriage. If CFA was treating gay customers differently than other customers, I would be the first to condemn it. But I believe that a business should be able to donate money to whomever they damn well please. Blocking the business from the Boston area is wrong. If the people of Boston feel that opposed to their politics, they have the right as consumers to go elsewhere.

It was the first state in the union to legalize gay marriage, there is obviously a huge homosexual population.  If they are offended that the owner donates his money to certain organization, they can spend their dollars somewhere else.

Has anyone had a platter of their breakfast sandwiches?  They take the little nuggets and put them in some form of sweet biscuit.

I mean, Jesus Christ.

My wife never wants to eat there again, and I'm totally cool with just bashing the Hell out of them from here to eternity, but I'm not going to substitute CFA for Wendy's on a matter of principle.  Life is too short, the chicken and milkshakes are too good, I vote against anyone who makes gay marriage an issue, and we included a gay guy in our wedding party, so I get a pass on this one.

If I'm upset about anything, it's that those nutbags refuse to make money on a Sunday.

Here's the deal: CFA can support whatever they want and oppose anything they want and I don't blame them at all for it.  Customers can, in turn, decide to support whatever business they want and oppose any business they want and I won't blame them at all for it.  Fiscally, would it have been smarter for CFA to keep their mouths shut regarding political matters?  Yeah.

Am I going to stop eating at a place because I disagree with their management's political beliefs?  Not in this instance.  If they were funding the KKK or Neo Nazis or something super out there like that, I probably would.  But, here?  Eh, I don't think CFA is going to make much of a difference re. gay guys.

the best part of this story isn't that the ceo is a douchey bigot, it's the batshit-crazy stuff that is happening beyond that.

jim henson company pulls the muppets stuff because of the douchey bigot, and then like the next day chick-fil-a says that they pulled the muppets stuff because it was defective.

then chick-fil-a creates a fake facebook account of a teenage girl to try and defend the douchey bigot, and they get completely embarrassed.

Perfect.  Welcome to the ground floor of this burgeoning investment, OK_Cat.  Also, didn't realize until having that pic right in front of me that Chick-fil-a (and Chick-fil-gay) DO include the 2nd "c" in "chick."  Guess I assumed it was misspelled like the cows misspell everything in the ads.

I, for one, always demand to know what a fast food CEO's opinions on social and political issues are before buying their food.

Was Dave Thomas (RIP) a bigot?  :ohno:

IDK, but his daughter is unattractive and she doesn't move her mouth right when she speaks.  It's like she's trying to ventriloquise (poorly I might add) without a dummy.  Check this crap out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJPGPIxgXUY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJPGPIxgXUY).  WTF is that?  She needs to stay the eff out of the commercials.

I stopped by the local chick-fil-a this morning to do some chick-fil-gay market research and came up with an idea.  So c-f-g makes a bunch of money off us all and apparently donates some of their profits to anti-gay-rights groups.  What if after you placed your order, you could declare "I support equal rights" or something to that effect and get 10% off your order?

Would that work until I can get chick-fil-gay off the ground?

Quote
Chick-fil-A (7990 E Central)     Matches eat free when together. Please present your blue match discount card at the front counter.

So, set aside any ethical concerns with Chick-fil-a's politics, bring the kid there (probably any kid would work) and I get free chicken?  Kind of takes the wind out of my chick-fil-gay sails.

If anybody wants to get involved with BBBS and get a "Little" and one of these free chick-fil-a cards to stick it to the anti-gay, Sandusky-ish man, go to kansasbigs.org and find your local office's contact info.

Keep your money.  goEMAW is littered with angel investors. 

Interested in front line work?  Now fanning's resume indicated he worked at Carlos O'Kelly's and he'll probably be looking for a job in the "biz" as soon as he's done over at UofP.  Plus, he tends to wear his shirts almost completely unbuttoned, which, once I clear it with the health inspector, will probably appeal to our base.  So, you've got a lot to overcome if you want to beat him out for the job.

Jakesie60 is not far off. There are many things in the Old Testament that, with the arrival, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, become irrelevant, and are expressly addressed in the New Testament. This is one of them. People like to quote the Old Testament, out of context, assuming that this instruction applies to us as it did to men thousands of years ago. It doesn't. It's glib to do so.

Mark 7:14-23: "And he (Jesus) called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: 15  There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.” 17 And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23  All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

Is there anything against homosexuality in the new testament though?

Yes.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
"9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

1 Timothy 1:9-11
"8 Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10 the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted."

Romans 1:26-27
"26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."



It's sad that something can be so clear, yet people willfully dismiss it. (i.e. gay "Christians" - an impossibility) Homosexuality is no different than a desire to lie, steal, have sex with an animal, or have sex with a man/woman outside of marriage. It's a simple temptation that people give in to.

He won't agree with me on this though: Jesus never mentioned homosexuality. It seems silly to waste time on it. Love your God, love your neighbor. Those were Jesus' commandments. I'm pretty sure that what Chick-Fil-A did could not be considered loving their neighbor. Chick-Fil-Gay sounds much more in line with the ideology of Jesus. And it will be interesting to see how Trim reacts to that statement....

There's a lot wrong with the idea that we should rip the pages out of our Bible that are not printed in red (they print Jesus' quotes in red). If Jesus was God, a God who would have the ability to allow a Bible, which communicates from him to his people, that included items that were fallible, what sense would this make? Whether or not he ever used the word "homosexuality", is irrelevant. He has allowed it to be included in his message to us that has survived for thousands of years, unchanged. Also, Jesus acknowledges that we should not commit adultery (sexual activity, and lust, outside of marriage between one man and woman), so, it seems fairly simple that he did mention it and frankly makes my previous explanation unnecessary.

All Chick-fil-a did was state that they believe in marriage between one man and one woman. That doesn't mean they won't serve "gays".

I always find it funny that Jesus is constantly schooling his disciples and telling them how they were getting crap wrong - yet people are basically taking Paul and assuming he's saying homosexuality is wrong, when it's just as likely that translated texts could just as easily be describing non-consensual sex between older men & younger boys and grouping all homosexuality within that context.  The reason I describe it as non-consensual sex as rape was often used as display of dominance and this "perverse" behavior was not restricted to male or female.  Some argue the reason there is a much more negative context surrounding male on male, is women were not worthy and basically no one gave a crap if people raped them.   In fact, it was common practice to offer your daughter or even wife to "lay" with house guest and considered bad manors to not do so.

My thoughts, and I would like to hear some thoughts from anyone interested; If god is so vehemently against homosexuality, why did he create the common reed frog that is often observed to change their sex when population control is needed?   There have been studies that link homosexuality within larger families - especially within the youngest kids of large families;  Would it not be divine design to allow such restriction of population to conserve resources and prevent over-crowding?

2. Common for some = uncommon for others.
3. If we began to describe the difference between men and frogs, where would we begin?

My wife read over my previous statement which prompted her to make assumptions I did not intend, so I would like to clarify that the when I said rape was common practice, I was referring to the stories of Sodom and Gomorrah.   

Frogs aside, do you think perspective could be slanted in any way for the purpose of building a christian empire?  I think it's entirely possible that Sin is grossly misrepresented, and the original context of the word Hell or "sheol" could have been more like dirt/under the ground and changed to the word Hell because there was no translation of sheol as it was an actual name of a thing/place.  I feel that the concept of eternal life was a statement that is true for all souls - regardless of their status of sinner or saint.   

I believe that the concept of "Sin" is something that defiles YOU as a person and not God; and thinking of it this way, I can think of sin as actually representing things that don't bring you happiness and therefor lead you into a life, and subsequent afterlife, filled with guilt and void of happiness.

This concept is often met with disgust and I feel that it's due to a initial confusion of happiness and pleasure - and therefore people describe scenarios where "sin" is okay because it makes you feel good.  On the contrary, Sex is pleasure; Love is happiness. One is quickly fleeting, the other is eternal.

In reality, we're all on equal footing - and Jesus was teaching people how to love themselves and know happiness and one way to fill our lives with happiness is to strive to make others happy.  That makes me feel a lot better about society and allows me to be tolerant of religions that are not my own, lifestyles that are not my own, & opinions that are not my own - yet still defend my own beliefs when persecuted.

If by creating a definition of what something is or isn't & therefor telling a person what they can and can't have - I am filling my life and theirs with the opposite of happiness.

Is it the Christian perspective to persecute others for their sin?  Again, I don't believe that sin is representative in the context that most religious people hold it - so this drives me towards curiosity.   If someone was living their life with gluttony, Is it acceptable from a Christian perspective to humiliate and protest those that are obese?  Or could you accept that their sin or lifestyle is preventing them from deep happiness and essentially holds no effect on your happiness.   Could you even compare Homosexuality to gluttony - as one is a result of seeking pleasure and the other is being true to themselves to find happiness?  Do you think Homosexuality is a Choice?

It's much too complicated for simple proof-texting. The greek word paul used that was translated as "homosexuality" was the first instance of the word in ancient greek lit. He made it up basically. It most probably was a condemnation of homosexual acts such as male prostitution, pederasty and master/slave forced sexual activity. Sexual identity is a recent phenomenon and as such was foreign to the 1st century greek individual.

The condemnation's against homosexual acts always appeared within a greater list that included adultery, prostitution, incest, etc.. The sinfulness of each was similar in kind. It seems that Catholics and Evangelicals in our generation have elevated the sinfulness of homosexuality above the others.

Divorce, adultery and pre-marital sex were condemned to the same degree, and are rampant in both the Catholic and Evangelical populations. The greater focus on homosexuality vis à vis the other issues seems off balance and leads to claims of bigotry and hatred.

Christians* should seek to understand before they rigidly quote texts they most assuredly do not fully understand.

*Not a dig at PW. I also am a Christian, and should take my own advice.

I have begun to think for some time now that Heaven/Hell probably isn't a concrete place so much as a state of being. C.S. Lewis described hell as locked from the inside, and I find that really palatable. Basically, God gave human beings great dignity and free choice. Through our choices, we choose our fates. And I take very seriously Jesus warning against those who "knew my name and prophesied in my name but did not know me..depart from me evildoers." Love God and love your neighbor as yourself is the most difficult thing to practice in our day-to-day lives. Selfishness is easy. The alternative is not.

It's all hung on their saying "sorry" for their gluttony, pre-marital sex, adultery, divorce, etc while in church.  Their entire argument seems to swing around the fact that Homosexuals aren't sorry for being homosexual.  I mean, they say that it also is that they continue to practice homosexuality, but that can't really be it since the haters keep practicing the other above listed "sins".  Gay guys should just do what the other religious folk do, go to church once every 4 months and on xmas and easter(but never during football season) and say sorry.  Then they could keep on keeping on and be on the same page with those trying to legislate against them now.

Bullshit.  The bigots would still find a reason to hate, they'd cook up a new excuse/misinterpreted bible verse while at the same time turning a blind eye to all the other sins the don't pressure the government to legislate.  Bigots gonna bigot.

So, is anyone who is against gay marriage a bigot and hateful?

I suppose some of the bigots could be more ignorant than hateful. Dumb or mean. Take your pick.

Dumb, mean, scared, closeted, etc.  I don't like to speak in absolutes.


So, normally I'd say yes.  There may be instances where I'd reconsider but it'd have to be a pretty good reason.  The "marriage is between one man and one woman as defined in the bible" is a bad reason because it imposes a person's religious beliefs on 2 consenting adults.  Also not valid, the slippery slope argument.

I suppose some of the bigots could be more ignorant than hateful. Dumb or mean. Take your pick.

There's also the chance they are opposed to the government being involved in ANY marriage or civil union, but I'm not sure those people really exist.

Not really.  They like government involvement in certain areas, some of the time.  Especially when a homosexual person wants to marry the person they love.  Then is time for the gov to get in there and stop it.

I am fine with someone holding bigot beliefs.  Just don't impose them on others.  If you don't believe in gay marriage, don't go marry a d00d. 

If you think gambling is the devil, stay out of casinos.


I love the argument that some bigots have the freedom to do as they wish without punishment, then they turn around and donate to political campaigns running on a platform of limiting freedom of others.  Quit trying to legislate religious beliefs.

Welp, there is a laundry list of rights provided to married couples ranging from tax benefits to property rights, but hey, those people that love each other can't procreate, and its not the way some old book said it should be, so eff them, don't give them those rights.  If you are against government giving any of those things to any married couple that is fine.

Trim, I think CFG needs its own thread. If the restaraunt is to do well, it cannot be in the shadow of a sexuality/religion debate. I have been thinking of ideas for launching CFG. You know how CFA has the cows and they dress an employee up in the cow suit and dance around in front of the restaraunt when it opens and stuff? Well, CFG will have similar cows but on their bellies we will write their names to give some more association with CFG. Adam and Steve. Those are the first two names that come to mind.

I think marriage is best a function of religious (and/or secular, depending on one's beliefs) communities, and the gov. should stay out.  If a couple wants to have a union that allows for legal benefits to be given (hospital rights, tax benefits, etc.), then have at it.  If two non-romantic friends want to have those benefits, then sure, have at it.  But don't call it marriage.  If a baptist church decides to marry one couple, but not another, great, that's their 1st amendment right.  If another church wants to marry only gay people, go for it, that's their 1st amendment right.

Correct me if I'm wrong CF3 but I think what he's trying to say is that bullying people into believing the same thing as you is likely to be counterproductive and make people stick to their guns more, which is a valid point.

Yeah. It makes productive dialogue an impossibility. We've lost the ability to meet in the public square and have respectful conversations. It's either "you're a naive, hateful bigot" or "you're going to hell."

There's also the chance they are opposed to the government being involved in ANY marriage or civil union, but I'm not sure those people really exist.

c43 and i both think the government has no place in recognizing or not recognizing marriage. they should give every co-habitating couple the same legal rights and benefits imo. but churches need to have the right to choose to marry who they want/not want. there is no shortage of churches on either side.

There is no middle ground here. "Agreeing to disagree" leaves the naive, hateful bigot with access to marriage. The homosexual still can't marry.

Productive dialogue does not mean agree to disagree. As a christian, i (and c43) am definitely in the minority in wishing the government to stay out of defining "marriage" and grant equal rights to all couples regardless of gender. My hope is that the majority of christians stop trying to legislate christian faith/beliefs.

To be fair, I don't think we have ever had the ability to meet in the public square and have respectful conversations regarding civil rights issues. If anything, we have a much better ability to do so now than we did in the '60s, when a lot of people were outright militant with their beliefs.

Alright, I see where you're coming from, Trim. Just hear me out. As the primary owner of c-f-g (51% stake in company), I think we should change the menu up a bit.

Idea- You know how you can get a double cheese burger, with two patties and stuff? Why the hell has no one done this for a chicken sandwich? Also, why are there no weights on the chicken sandwiches? Wendy's tells me the cheeseburger I'm ordering weighs 1/2 lb. At c-f-g, size matters.

Let's discuss at the next board meeting. I moved our HQ from Manhattan to San Fran., seemed reasonable to me.

Quote
Chick-fil-A (7990 E Central)     Matches eat free when together. Please present your blue match discount card at the front counter.

So, set aside any ethical concerns with Chick-fil-a's politics, bring the kid there (probably any kid would work) and I get free chicken?  Kind of takes the wind out of my chick-fil-gay sails.

Welp, in a bizarre turn of events, I've confirmed tonight that I get free chick-fil-a.

I've never eaten at Chick-Fil-A, but I'm starting to think that maybe their chicken just isn't that good and they are only in business because bigots use them as a way to get a free meal out of their anti-gay donations.

The back story on this bill is that the city of San Antonio tried to exclude Chick-fil-a to be opened in the airport because of their history of LGBTQ discrimination and because they're not open on Sunday's when 15% of the concession sales are generated.  Noted criminal and Texas AG, Ken Paxton of course fought this. And patronizing Dan Patrick and Greg Abbott were quick to jump on board. For the record, they would be ok with Chik-fil-a refusing service to someone because they were gay.

I think the Colorado Baker thing was bad, but it is quite a stretch to consider that equivalent to a fast food chain denying service to someone based on their sexual orientation.

The only real valid criticism I’ve heard for this bill is it is written to address a problem that does not exist.

I go there fairly regularly because they're all over the place, but outside of a tasty chicken sandwich it ain't that great.   Many of their other items are pretty marginal IMO.

Yeah you should see how much they rake in for an average location versus the average of all of the other fast food chains. It's unbelievable the difference...and they are only open 6 days a week.

It's a pure dog and pony show, no real stuff, just cause you pull forward and someone puts crap into your bag for you that could've been done back in the freaking kitchen does not speed up the line, what speeds up the line is the kitchen actually fulfilling orders. It just appears faster cause there is less waiting between talking to people.

He gets us ads are great

I thought they were fine, was even willing to overlook them both siding white supremacy rallies and social justice protests, but them using false pretenses to rally support is a bridge I can't cross

what do you mean the both siding. legit asking.

Did you see the ad I'm referring to? It was a lot of contrasting images of people yelling at each other, the theme was, I presume that belief in God could help us move past that. I don't have an issue with that message, at all, I do have an issue with placing images of people protesting for civil rights with those yelling at marching white supremacists and presenting them as if they are the same. The ultimate irony is we know they're are plenty of bigots who rally in the name of God.

The message of those ads need to be a strong rebuke of hate, in the name of God, instead of this everybody love everybody garbage. Christianity has been hijacked by bigots and those stoking division, if you're going to spend $100 million on an ad campaign, instead of feeding the hungry, your campaign must take a stand. This is a marketing campaign for anti abortion support dressed up as a call for unity. I have to tell you, it almost worked on me, I visited hegetsus.com. They will absolutely get some supporters and by extension more funders, but it won't be in the name of pushing past division by insisting on equity.

I saw the ad. I don't love the campaign or the money being spent but I thought that particular spot was interesting and thought provoking at least. Didn't quite see it the same as you MIR.

Sorry, forgot to respond to this. When I saw the spot I assumed it was going to end with "Jesus was spat on and hated too" or something like that. To make it a spot about loving enemies I thought was good, IMO.

I think the campaign shouldn't exist.

I think that what I know of Jesus' message is not well represented by the current faction of his followers that are loud in the public arena right now.  As a non-believer, that isn't 100% up to date on the bible, I think that some of these people are the least christ like that they could be.  I also feel like churches of the christian religion would do well to police their own before trying to do anything else.  Clean up your house before you try to impose your cleanliness standards on mine. 

Again, I am a non-believer.  I recognize what faith has done for some ppl that were close to me when tragedy struck them and I saw that as useful at that time.  However, I have seen many more negative things come from it, outside looking in.  So, maybe all of the above is just my ignorance talking while tempered by my distaste.

I think I agree about the campaign not existing because I don’t understand it’s purpose at all, which indicates it’s not effective.

As far as bad people screaming in Jesus’s name, I think that’s just part of the human condition. Major religions will always attract bad people looking to exploit them to advance their own agendas.

The campaign exists to bring nonbelievers who care about social injustices into the faith. It falls flat when those people look into the group and figure out that they spend money to perpetuate social injustices.
