Lol, what better way to support a certain company than to give them business? As for your assumption, well… it is just an assumption.
We aren’t against homosexuals! We are against them trying to change the definition of marriage and calling anyone who disagrees with them a bigot. By doing that they have crossed the line and are treading on sacred ground since Jesus (God) defined marriage as Adam and Eve. Saying otherwise is calling Jesus a liar. Another thing is I don’t appreciate being called a bigot just for being a Catholic. And I don’t appreciate all the other lies “gay” activists say about Christians to try to discredit 2,000 years of charity and good works.
I believe he’s just making the point that “Christians are lazy and rather go out and eat at Chick-fil-a than actually make a difference by feeding the poor”. Which, as I’ve tried very hard to point out, is a flawed premise to begin with, but it makes it easier to justify one’s dislike of the Church and religion in general to use this premise as “proof” somehow of their biased opinions that are baseless.Honestly, I’m not even understanding what exactly it is she/he is trying to say, or how it ties in to the specific topic of this thread.
Well I just don’t understand that argument. Basically he’s making the assumption that just because a large number of Christians decided to have lunch at Chick one day to show support, it must mean they don’t help the poor and that they care more about that than they do about the poor… or something??
Yes, I’m afraid that liberal arguments often fail the logic test under scrutiny. There’s simply not much else to say about it. You are correct, the argument does not make sense, but to those that espouse such ideas, they make perfect sense because they are blinded by their hatred and ill will towards anything having to do with Christ.Well I just don’t understand that argument. Basically he’s making the assumption that just because a large number of Christians decided to have lunch at Chick one day to show support, it must mean they don’t help the poor and that they care more about that than they do about the poor… or something??
It just makes no logical sense.
It’s like saying “since so many people went to watch the premier of the new Batman movie at midnight, that must mean that they care more about entertainment than they do about doing good deeds.” …it’s just like, HUH??
Apparently you are correct about logic going out the window and losing sight of the truth.
The westboro baptist church expresses their freedom of speech and religion too. People are upset not because they don’t agree with free speech but because they don’t agree with the message.
Soooo, this means what? What exactly is your point?
This is my point. Millions of Christians went to chick fil a the other day…there has never been a day when millions of Christians came together to help the poor. My point is that the picture in question is accurate…and to be honest I don’t even think that says anything bad about Christians. I just think that Christians are more willing to eat a chicken sandwich for a cause than volunteering time or donating money…and you could certainly say the same thing about any other group. People, for the most part, are lazy.
IF the premise of the picture is wrong I challenge the folks at CAF to start a “Christians help the poor day” and see if it gets as big as eat at chick fil a day. Lets see if you can get mike huckabee and others to support it.Well I just don’t understand that argument.

The point is that you were saying people were upset because Christians were expressing their rights of free speech and free religion. You were making it seem like people were mad that people were free to say what they wanted. That is wrong. People were upset because of what they said, not that they had the freedom to say it.Soooo, this means what? What exactly is your point?
Sorry to say, your posts are getting more and more strange.
If your point is that Christians are hypocrites sometimes, then you’re right, but it’s not something we didn’t know already.
Yes, people are upset because they don’t agree with what is being said. Because Chick has beliefs that are different than their own.
Your argument still makes no sense. So what that millions of Christians decided to have lunch at Chick fil A? What does this have to do with the poor?
We are all members of the Catholic Church here. All our Churches have multiple, multiple activities and volunteer organizations and days that we go out and do something to contribute to the less fortunate in society. (Not to mention money is given in every single mass)
Exactly.
Who is trying to take away free speech? I have yet to see anyone on either side of the issue say that free speech should be limited.
Did you miss the 3-4 mayors of major US cities who threw out thinly veiled threats towards Chick-fil-a that they were not welcome in their cities. Or the (unrelated to Chick-fil-a) militant atheist groups that sue every time a religious symbol is put up anywhere. The President’s HHS Mandate that refuses to acknowledge the Catholic Church and other believers 1st Amendment rights of freedom of religion.
