You think gays being denied the right to marry is about love? How very simple minded. Marriage is a legal term that gives a couple rights and responsibilities under the law. A civil union is not the same thing.
When you support Mr. Cathy and others like him you are really supporting legalized discrimination. Remember that part in the Bible where Jesus supports discrimination? Me either.

We support Chick-fil-a as a business and are proud of the stand for God they have taken. It is ridiculous the hatred that the gay crowd has directed at pro-family companies. A gay “friend” informed me that if I eat at Chick-fil-a, I am no longer a friend and can go to h*ll. On the other hand, the crowd at Chick-fil-a was kind and courteous, never put anyone down and has always been respectful of others. Who is in the wrong here?

Tater- You’re right about not picking and choosing bible verses. It’s also an abomination to eat pork and shellfish, to work on Sunday, and to wear clothes of different fabrics. Ever do any of those things? And “traditional marriage” by biblical standards is polygamy. You think a book that advocates executing your neighbor or your child for some of these offenses, or any of them, is a good ethical guide? If so, that would explain your lack of morality.

I am gay and still do eat at CFA, some people seem to think that they speak for me, “ALL THE GAY GROUPS”, they don’t speak or represent me.. The man has a right to say what he wants, it is one of the reasons that we are a free country, and it was one of the reasons that i joined the military years ago, to help keep us free, can you imagine living in some other country, I can not! Leave the guy and the company alone, and go about your own business, and stop hating on everyone that does not have your same feelings, if you do not want to eat at CFA than don’t.

Pro Hum – No, but Cathy didn’t discriminate against anyone he just gave his opinion. Because we disagree does not make us intolerant, does it? I mean, heck, I don’t agree with much of what the Ben & Jerry folks donate there money to but I loves me some Chunky Monkey and Moose Tracks!! I know that’s a simple example but, hey, you did call me a fool.

And all you “family values” Repubs better hope Obama wins in November because if Romney wins you uneducated hicks will be on food stamps by the end of 2013, before he takes them away from you. Then you won’t be able to afford to keep growing your oversized rear ends by eating at CFA three times a week.

Tater- If you want to deny homosexuals the same rights that heterosexuals enjoy, then that makes you intolerant. And you want to do it by making sure public law conforms to your religious beliefs, which is more evidence of your intolerance. And you have religious beliefs, which is evidence of your ignorance.

I just had a wonderful meal at CFA. I believe in FREEDOM of SPEECH and I will support CEO of CFA for speaking his mind. I also support the hardware store that has a sign in front of his business that indicates he built his business without any help. I am not religious so you can’t say we are all religious nuts.

Serious- From your comment it seems like you’re trying to argue the old “This country was founded on Christian ideals” bs. I guess you dropped out before you got to 10th grade US history, huh? The Founding Fathers were mostly deists, and didn’t believe in the divinity of Jesus. They knew he was just a delusional charlatan. And if this country was founded on Christian ideals, then why are only two of the ten commandments laws (murder and theft)? And those two things are against the law in every country regardless of their religious ideology. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

Tater- That’s sad rationalization. You’re essentially saying that the first part of god’s “infallible” words are not accurate or relevant, while the second part is completely accurate, mainly because it’s less reprehensible. I hope you use better judgment than that in Afghanistan and instead allow evidence to form your beliefs, rather than finding “evidence” to support something you want to believe.

Rooting for CFA- Okay, so we won’t discuss this on religious terms. So you think the guy at the hardware store did it all by himself? He doesn’t get hardware shipments on the “government” roads built and maintained with tax payer money? Does he stay at his store all night protecting it with a shotgun because the “government” police won’t protect it from being robbed? Did he not learn to do math, read catalogues, or learn to write at a “government” public school? Did none of his employees? That’s a ridiculous argument. Surely you’re smarter than that.

Go ahead and insult Christian businesses even more and see the reaction from the real Americans!! “Please don’t throw me in that there briar patch!!!”, said Brer Rabbitt!!! The quotes by the Chicago and Boston mayors along with Obama’s “you didn’t build that!” should just about seal his defeat in November! Can’t wait to see them made into endless loop political commercials!! What fools!! LMAO!!!!

Rooting- I don’t think you understand freedom of speech. The freedom of speech clause keeps the GOVERNMENT from taking action against someone because of something they said. It has nothing to do with whether private citizens take action against other private citizens for speech they believe to be repulsive. If you’re going to try to make an argument it would be good if you knew what you were talking about.
