How do you, as an American Christian, NOT support CF's right to align or NOT align with whichever non-terrorist organization they see fit? Chick-fil-A can do as they please... you have the right to not eat there if you disagree, but they ought to have ultimate say in who they donate to.
No one is saying you don't have the right to be offended. I mean, people love playing the victim. The irony is that the right always accuses the left of playing victim, only I'm seeing supposed "conservatives" doing the same thing that the liberals are doing. If you can find a reason to be outraged, take it! It's so bad that the other poster says Chick-fil-A was "playing Christian" when he answered someone's question on his view of same-sex marriage. It's one thing to be upset over their decision, it's an entirely different thing to spread misinformation or act like this wasn't the plan for the PAST 7 YEARS! lol I've already posted what they said back in 2012 about stopping it. Now, suddenly, it's this blindside stab in the back?
If you're offended, then boycott them... If you're against private organizations donating to charities they deem worthy of assistance, then you live in the wrong country. Chick-fil-A was never meant to be the religious beacon of light on a hill that many of you think it was... It was there to make money for goodness sake...
To put it quite simply CF chose to turn from supporting Bible grounded Christian charities due to the onslaught of pressures afforded against the chain by a terrorist group.
As a Christian I do not and cannot in good conscience support a company that chose not to endure the slings and arrows of an entirely unrepentant damned group of persons dedicated to acts of terror in order to obstinately issue forth their ultimatum, agree with our lifestyle or suffer. And while abandoning also the companies Christian principles in order to concede the aforementioned behaviors of said terrorist group were enough to generate said concession.
When a Christian company abandons Christian principles under such persecution they demonstrate they never held strongly to them in the first place. Conceding to this enemy of the cross will not make it stop. As said enemy has informed CF and after CF's decision to abandon Christian charities made news.
LGBTQ aren't going to stop, they're bolstered to go harder against the company and all Christian held companies , due to CF's concession to their tactics.
When CF can't stand behind the stronghold of Christ in the face of the tactics LGBTQ terrorists employed against them verbally, what chance does CF have to stand against the enemy of God should it come in other forms of assault?
CF chose to concede to immoral sin and sinners, thinking their abandoning God's word would call those sinners actively opposed against CF and the word off. That demonstrates not only a naivety concerning their enemy, but also a lack of immersion in the word and in the faith.
CF's religious proclamation is now invalid. The company religious standard has become Apostate.
