This One is Serious...Chick-Fil-A Making a Stand Serious

Here I go.  Please hold your offense until you read the ENTIRE post if you would.

I am shocked and dismayed that Chick-Fil-A is being so blasted by just about everyone.  This gives me serious pause as to what really constitutes ones right to free speech today.  I have kids.  Their future is being formed by these events.

Chick-fil-A has had ties to the church since it's creation, so why is everyone surprised that they support causes that coincide with Biblical beliefs?  Let me tell you why I think this.

Christians tend to forget one very important thing from time to time.  The Bible is a book for Christian living.  It spells out how CHRISTIANS are supposed to behave.  I am a Christian.  The Bible says that we are all going to be judged (by God, not men) so I need to read that Bible and live as a person honoring the Lord.  In other words, I need to worry about ME and what I'M doing.  I shouldn't be focusing on the messed up-ness of others because I'm mess enough.  If someone doesn't claim Jesus, and they are doing things contrary to what the Bible says you should or should not do, I will pray for them.  I won't say what they're doing is okay.  I won't participate.  I won't gossip about them behind their back.  I will, however, still be their friend, and I will still love them.

I don't know why being gay is such a big deal at present.  I can only guesstimate that maybe it goes back the original AIDS epidemic and the fear and the panic it caused.  There are a lot of other things the Bible says that we shouldn't do that seems to be overlooked in the light of gay issue.  Things like don't have sex before marriage, don't drink to access, don't be a glutton, don't gossip...don't judge.  You know why you don't judge?  Because of the mess that makes up you.  I've never done drugs,didn't have sex before marriage, been drunk but rarely but I still have plenty to answer for.

I will be 100% honest with you.  I don't understand all the rules in the Bible.  I'm a romantic.  I'm not against one person loving another.  I can only say that if God put a limitation there, He did it for a reason.  I don't hate gay people.  I know some very awesome people who just happen to be gay.  I cannot say that I behind same sex marriage because the Bible says it's not okay, but I cannot say that I'm complete against it because of that ol' romantic thing.  I'm most conflicted, and when I am, I side with the word of God.

Back to the Bible is map for Christian living.  If you are professing to be a Christian and you are gay, all I can say is you need to seriously seek God in that situation.  I don't know what you're going through because women don't tempt me. (Gluttony does.  Pies are sexy dang it.)  I won't tell you it's okay, but that you need to seek the Lord with an open mind and heart.  That's really all I can say about it except I'll pray for you and let's get coffee sometime.

As for being so crazy about Chick-fil-A expressing their right to free speech to believe and practice what ever religion they want, we have lost our minds.  People want a personification to beat up on for all those hateful things people have said to them.  It's Chick-fil-a.  I applaud everyone who stands up for themselves even when it's most likely a losing battle, and I applaud Chick-fil-A for not bowing when it would've been oh so easy to do so.

Now if you are one of those awesome gay people I mentioned earlier, I loves you.  I really do.  I don't judge you for who you sleep with.  That is between you and God.  I got me and 3 munchies to account for...at least until they are old enough to account for themselves.  I don't have time to judge you; it's not my job.  That being said, neither will I judge Chick-fil-A.

I'm done now...be mad at me if you like.  I meant what I said and I said what I meant.
