People's thoughts on Chick-Fil-A

Here is one of my role model's status' earlier tonight; I loved it!!
"I have tried to ignore and bite my tongue about this whole Chick-fil-a drama, but I couldn't help but feel overwhelmingly sad by today's events and this controversy in general. I have several gay friends who are reminded every single day, some by friends, others by their family, and all of them by the churches they no longer attend, that they are not normal or accepted and they are in "sin". I see the hurt on their faces and in their eyes at the challenges they face by the hate they receive from the Christian community and it saddens me. I certainly do not believe everyone acted in hate today and am not posting this to debate my views on homosexuality nor do I want to offend anyone by this post, but wanted to send out a simple reminder that, It is easy to forget in the midst of standing up for what you believe, there are real people who hurt every day over the hate they receive because they are gay. I have been on the receiving end of judgement and others opinions of my lifestyle and it was extremely hurtful. As a result I have challenged myself to seek first to understand before being understood. As I took the time to get to know my gay friends stories my heart broke for the pain they have gone through. Again I am not here to debate my views on homosexuality, I don't think it's wrong to stand up for what you believe, i LOVE our freedom of speech in this country, nor do I think all Christians acted in hate, I just wanted to send out a simple reminder that there are real people with real souls and hearts who are gay. All my gay friends, while disagreeing with my beliefs and lifestyle, have shown me the utmost love and respect. My heart goes out to them today. He who is sinless cast the first stone."

I just LOVED the way she posted that!!!

Here is another one that made me sit back and think.

"Okay... I am going to be the rebel who posts his massively unpopular opinion on the Chic-fil-a business. Sarcasm? No actually.. because what I'm about to say will piss off the whole lot of you...
I am a Christian. I believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, I believe it is wholly true and inerrant (there, got the atheists, agnostics, and universalists pretty well peeved) I also believe that this country is an Idea. One where I have the right to say that Homosexuality is wrong (there went the LGBT) and the world has the right to say that I am a Victorian bigot! Well, that's my point. We have the right. It is unpopular with some, disquietting with others, but we both were afforded the costly ability to say screw you! We forget that it is a very rare and precious gift to have the right at all.
Yes, I believe that it is wrong... guess what.. I also believe that hate is wrong. I don't hate people who are gay... I love them as much as I do the people who aren't.. and really why do we have "gay friends" when we never have "straight friends" I don't introduce my friend Charlie Pugh as my straight friend anymore than I would my friend Justin Burt as my "gay friend" they're both people. Shut up.

I believe that marriage is between one man and one woman.. but I also believe the govt should keep it big greedy sticky fingers out of institutions it didn't invent. I am not qualified to define marriage I only echo my God's definition. Congress is less qualified.

I believe it is wrong, I believe hating someone for acting in a way I disagree with is wrong, I believe abusing, defaming, insulting, and mocking someone (for any reason) is wrong. So please people... lets remember the simple truth here... you have the right to call me whatever you want... you have that right... so stop screaming about someone else using that same right to say what they think. If you can't handle that move to China."

God is a God of love, not hate. God is a God of justice, not discrimination, or bullying.
Sin is sin.
No one is without sin.
You are no better than the man who raped his 5 year old daughter,  A pastor is no better then someone who is living a life of homosexuality. I am no better then my little sister who stole a dollar from my purse. Sin is sin, we all fall short, we all need a savior, and we all are given that chance.
