A personal attack would be making fun of your shoes. Highlighting your own posts is just being honest.

I simply pointed out that you lied in your posts, making up assertions of religious requirements and other nonsense.

If that offends you as much as it does a business take a pro-God stance, that’s unfortunate.

When Jim Hensen prohibited Chik from giving away muppet toys, it is alleged that the company not only lied as to the reason, but continued to lie about it when confronted on Facebook, even going do far as creating a false profile, using a stock photo as the profile image.

If this is true, it poses a question, as to whether the company is pretending to oppose gay marriage based on principle, or for publicity and profit. If on principle, then why would it lie about the reasons for Hensen’s actions?

Eating at CFA is not a religious requirement, and you know it; that’s a “clever” jab designed to insult us.

Not a religious requirement, just the definite sign that one supports traditional marriage. I don’t buy at Chick-Fil-A and am thus an advocate of gay marriage - right?

I agree completely. I have no problem with people going there if that’s what they like. I just find it amazing how if you dare to say anything about NOT eating there you’re automatically considered an enemy or something. It really seems to be upsetting people here that there are people who aren’t running there to give them money.

No it is not. It is your insinuations that are offensive. I’ve never eaten at CFA, I do my own cooking and shop at the Farmer’s Market. You insinuate people who eat CFA would be better to give their money to church. It is not an either or.

Please charitably discuss the issues, not each other

Apparently it is fundamental to those defending traditional marriage. Those of us who cook our own food are gay marriage advocates, it seems. 🤷

Could you back up that statement with a quote from this thread? Or is that Rich O “flatulence.”

Well, Christine, maybe there’s too much of that, I agree :D, but there is an implication that if you’re not with us, you’re against us. I see no support for those who who would just as soon see the Chick-Fil-A controversy go away. November is just around the corner, and surely, there are more important issues for Catholics than solidarity with a fast-food chain. I think…

Who said that? Are you and seeker actually reading the comments on this thread?
John Catholic: “it’s great that CFA holds traditional values - I’m going to support them”

Rich O.: “get a grip, catholics, the sky isn’t falling. why are you supporting a chicken sandwich?”

Seeker: “you should cook at home and not eat at CFA. besides, CFA is probably going to go out of business with all the backlash.”

John Catholic: “but this is why I am supporting CFA [x/y/z reasons]…”

Rich O/Seeker: “well, gosh, I didn’t realize that to be a good catholic I had to eat there! is this the new catholic requirement or something? when did catholics stop caring about the poor?”

Everyone,

This seems to be the reason for Seeker’s personal interest in this issue:

Chick Fil A never donated money to an organization that claimed to cure adulterers.

Why is everyone trying to give this guy an out so he can say “gee, I am so sorry, I didn’t mean gay marriage!”.

(Did the owner of Chick-Fil-A --is it Dan Cathy?-- contribute to NARTH?) And is that why Seeker persists in being upset about this restaurant?
🤷

Did anybody say there wasn’t? Surely YOU have more important issues than CFA as well, yet you continue to post here.

Just sayin’ 😛

All I said was what I am personally doing. People seem to be insisting that those of us who are not choosing to eat at this fast food place are anti-Christian as well.

And to the poster who asked how much time I’m spending here…apparently just as much as the rest of you. We probably all have better things we could be doing.

The National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) is a nonprofit organization that offers reparative therapy and other regimens that purport to change the sexual orientation of individuals who experience unwanted same-sex attraction.

First time I’ve ever heard of them. 🤷

Give me one quote from any of the numerous posts here that. Just one.

I don’t eat at CFA. Never have. Nothing against them.

I certainly have become the cause of the day, haven’t I? Glad you are all so interested in my life. Wish you actually knew something about it before you judged it, but I guess that would kill all the fun.

Enjoy your chicken.

The point is - you’re talking out of both sides of your mouth. On the one hand you’re saying that you don’t really care if people support CFA; on the other hand, you are devoting quite a bit of time belittling those of us who choose to support CFA.

Please point out the post where someone has said - “you’re anti-Christian if you don’t support CFA.”

Making a mountain out of not even a molehill. The new Catholic cause - not the plight of Catholics in war-torn Syria, not the persecution of Christians in Sudan, not the loss of vocations, not abortion, but a chicken sandwich? Has it come to this?

Well at least we agree it’s chicken.
