Well it's August 1st and "Chick-Fil-A appreciation day". A friend of mine says Chick-Fil-a appreciation day is every day at lunchtime (except Sunday's of course). But, why the "official" day?
Because the pot called the kettle black.
Yep. It is the American double standard. If we are a liberal group, we get this protection, we need tolerance, free speech, blah blah blah.
But if a Christian man who runs a restaurant (some would call it a Christian business) decides to say
"I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,' and I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."
...everybody gets in a huff.
So the same people who "preach" tolerance and acceptance have a problem with this, because it is not how they feel. So what happens...Hate, cries of boycott (see Chicago, Boston and NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Bob Beckel, etc).
So what happened to free speech? Where are we again... Communist China? Didn't think so.
All I have to say to those who are upset...Grow up. Not everybody is like you, nor do they want to be like you. We are a diverse Nation filled with many differing views, take it like a man or woman or ____ and move on.
I don't like Chinese food because it messes with my stomach, do i protest? do i sue? nope. I choose to stay away. But i don't stand out front with a sign...i dont eat the food.
So while the owners of the different Chick-Fil-A's appreciate this attention and the August revenue goals being met on August 1st, I would just merely suggest the best way to protest is to not buy the best Chicken sandwich ever made.
(By the way, the quote says nothing about you. Just talks about God's definition of marriage. So unless you have a conscience and feel guilty by the comment, it shouldn't affect you at all.)
America how far have we fallen?
Peace
