I don't know. Maybe he is. Money speaks. If he donates money to organizations whose purpose is dealing with those issues, I'll believe that he is as against them as gay marriage.

 

 

Didn't he say he was against gay marriage? When has that ever been questioned?

But they aren't.

 

It was an analogy, for perspective. Those that have had rights denied to them (gays - marriage, women - voting, blacks - pretty much everything) have had to speak up speak up (protest) in order to get changes made.

Correct. I've never seen anything positive come from a protest.

 

Nothing? So you would not have supported MLK's protests?

 

Even if you disagree you don't think the anti-war protests had an effect on the Vietnam War?

 

You've never seen a sit-in have the desired result?

 

The Boston Tea Party was all for naught?

A terrible analogy IMO.

Why do you go to church Clyde?

 

Seems like a loaded question so before I answer I'll ask why you ask.

How will people going to Chick-Fil-A for breakfast, lunch or dinner hurt their business?

 

Couple ways. First, if I'm out for a quick lunch I'm going to avoid where I think there will be a crowd. Second, many people will avoid places where they think a confrontation may take place. It really depends on how the day is set up.

Perhaps we aren't understanding each other.

 

I mentioned multiple ways in which the "sanctity of marriage" is violated - adultry, spousal or child abuse, etc. My question is whether Chick-Fil-A donates money to organizations whose purpose is to deal with those issues. If so, then I feel his points on marriage are valid. If he is only donating to anti-gay organizations, then I don't.

A terrible analogy IMO.

 

Really? Why is that?

Seems like a loaded question so before I answer I'll ask why you ask.

 

 

I was wondering since you obviously have different views than your church why you would continue to go to a church that preaches against things that you seem to believe in, or have no problem with.

Really? Why is that?

 

 

Did a CEO of a company state that his Christian beliefs or values are racist or sexist?

I'm sure you could probably research, and find out exactly what organizations they do donate to.

I would have definitely supported MLK and what he believed in.

 

Did the protest change the heart or the mind of the racists? You're either a racist or you're not. You either believe in gay marriages or you don't. As I stated earlier I believe there is only 1 thing that can change a person's heart.

This is from the other Chick-Fil-A thread. I don't have time to look up additional info, but this appears to hit on some of the marriage issues you mentioned.

 

Additionally, WinShape also operates the WinShape Retreat℠, which offers a sequestered setting for marriage support and counseling and other gatherings on the Mountain Campus of Berry College. Held at WinShape Retreat, WinShape Marriage℠ aims to help married couples by offering intervention for couples in crisis, preparation for engaged couples and enrichment for those interested in growing their marriage.

You left out a key word before "views." That would be "some." I also have "some" different views than my wife of 25 years.

No one that protests has a first priority of changing another's heart. Blacks didn't give a damn if you thought they were equal or not. They protested so that the GOVT would give them the right to be equal. Same here with the gays.
