sundevil777 102 #152 August 2, 2012 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteSounds like the LBGT attempts to impose their values on American free speech . . . No one was trying to prevent free speech. But many of the people who stood in line for fast food chicken today thought they were doing so to protect free speech. A little research will show that the LGBT community is more concerned with the company's actions (donating money to anti-gay groups). I think most people feel that the dude can say whatever he wants, and consumers can take their business wherever they want. Reverend Wright opposses gay marriage. Does that mean Obama contributes to an organization that hates gays? Opposing gay marriage does not necessarily mean that one hates gays. But if Obama is contributing money to Wright's organization, and if Wright is fighting against gay rights, then I would say that Obama is contributing to an anti-gay organization. (I don't actually know whether Obama is contributing to Wright or not; is he?) Obama also made it clear that he opposed gay marriage, until very recently. As Obama's chief of staff, the (now) mayor of Chicago was quite aware of that.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

sundevil777 102 #153 August 2, 2012 QuoteQuoteQuoteLocal news reporting that the stores are overrun with people who are against getting rid of Christians in their towns That right there is why I would never support Chick-Fil-A day. Most people in support are not supporting free speech, they're supporting Christian ideology, specifically Christian bigotry. If this were just about free speech, we'd see the same people 'supporting' the Ground Zero Mosque, the KKK's right to march, and the ACLU. People supporting Chick-Fil-A day don't give two shits about free speech, it all about anti-gay bigotry. So here it appears that you support the biggotry against christians And this makes you better how? Not only supporting anti-christian bigotry, but expressing it himself.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

nigel99 619 #157 August 2, 2012 Quote Quote Small turn-out?? Are you freakin kidding? I went by CfA while running some errands this evening and the parking lot was overflowing into Starbucks and McD's. The drive thru had at least a dozen cars in line. People were standing around the parking lot socializing. I was thinking about stopping and picking up something to go for dinner but didn't want to sit in line. I'm guessing the turn out varied by location. Bill probably passed a Chick-Fil-A in San Diego. My guess is there probably wasn't as much support there as in your city.

And there aren't nearly as many viable presidential candidates to choose from as there are choices of places to eat. So the Obama/Chick-fil-A comparison doesn't work all that well.

Meso 38 #163 August 2, 2012 QuoteI don't support bigotry against Christians. However I don't think that people who support bigotry against gays and use the Bible as an excuse are really Christians. The funny part is the picking and choosing of when to support the new testament or the old testament. Apparently Jesus came and changed the evil old testament teachings. You know the ones about killing babies, raping women and murdering men because it's what God demanded. Yet they're very quick to forget Jesus coming and saying "Love thy neighbour" and promoting understanding and acceptance, and they then cling to old testament verses on homosexuality. It must be great to have 2 contradicting pieces and being able to pick and choose when to use whether you want to use the outdated bigoted and violent God versus, or the love and understanding versus of Jesus - so it fits ones own personal agenda.

Marinus 0 #168 August 2, 2012 QuoteThe Bible tells us that everyone is created with a seed of faith. That seed must be nurtured to grow. The bible also tells us that snakes can talk. In the real world the natural first reaction of a child to religion, is to, quite literally, question it. QuoteThe only explanation I can deduce is that the faithless have never taken a true risk. That is to say they have never ventured further than what their own minds could conceive possible. What you think is irrelevant. In the real world statistics show that atheists and agnostics have a keener understanding of religion than the religious. Usually the reason they aren't religious (any more). It's good to keep an open mind, but don't let your brain fall out, or so they say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You say you are more qualified than most christians to lead a church simply because of your knowledge...that statement alone nullifies your ability to lead as it displays a blatant disregard for the qualifications of such a position.
