September 14, 201412 yr Yet another right-wing cliche. Young people today are far more accepting of diversity than people of our generation. They also are not afraid to criticize those who cling to a prejudiced past in the name of religion or maintaining social order. So it is OK to be prejudiced toward religion. Got it. If they criticize religion, they are not very "accepting of diversity".

Intolerance of one's religious beliefs is a very serious matter. Just ask a survivor of the Nazi Holocaust.

September 14, 201412 yr You prove with almost every post that it is not a cliche. Intolerance of one's religious beliefs is a very serious matter. Just ask a survivor of the Nazi Holocaust. Another way to phrase your second sentence is "Intolerance of intolerance is a very serious matter." Which is one reason that "do not attend" is the fastest-growing church segment in the United States.
September 14, 201412 yr Another way to phrase your second sentence is "Intolerance of intolerance is a very serious matter." Which is one reason that "do not attend" is the fastest-growing church segment in the United States.Once again you demonstrate intolerance by redefining it to exclude religious intolerance. That's okay, we know what you mean when you label a person or a group "intolerant" - it just does not mean the same to hard core liberals as it does to the rest of us.
September 14, 201412 yr A few faith communities embrace diversity. Most do not. So, according to you, it is OK to be prejudiced toward a religion if they hold beliefs you disagree with. And you call others intolerant. SMH
September 14, 201412 yr In other words the Holy Bible is just a prejudice book . Smh . The Old Testament -- a collection of ancient texts heavy on violence and lamentation -- contains several stories of God-ordered genocide.
September 14, 201412 yr Banned from giving a donation??? How is this a bad thing for Chic Fil A? Now they get all the credit for offering the donation and the publicity that the principal's decision brings with it without any of the expense.

How is it a good thing for the students who play football? That is the more important question.
September 14, 201412 yr I'm just pointing out the stupidity of the decision. By banning the sandwiches the principal is keeping the boosters from making the money, AND Chic Fil A still gets credit for making a donation offer.
September 14, 201412 yr The Old Testament -- a collection of ancient texts heavy on violence and lamentation -- contains several stories of God-ordered genocide. Which was followed by the NT and love , grace and mercy of JC . The entire book and theme of the book should be taken in context .
September 14, 201412 yr Did any of you read the links provided? The snopes articles did not lead me to believe Chick fil a is intolerant. There is nothing wrong with treating all people with dignity even if you don't agree with their choices.
September 14, 201412 yr Author Yet another right-wing cliche. Young people today are far more accepting of diversity than people of our generation. They also are not afraid to criticize those who cling to a prejudiced past in the name of religion or maintaining social order. You should apply for the assistant principal job at Ventura HS, that lady would love you. Both of you could spend the day throwing chick fil a sandwiches in the garbage on a Sunday.
