Friend from church: "I love Chick-Fil-A, you know they close on Sundays so their employees can go to church."
Me: "Really? You don't eat out on Sunday?"
Friend from church: Silence
Not all of us that agree with the "friend from church" would have the same response to your question. There are some that would respond, no, I don't eat out on Sundays, don't go to any stores on Sundays, and won't even buy gas on Sundays unless in some emergency situation. Some of us try to be a bit more consistent in our admiration of certain values, like taking the Lord's Day to devote to Him.... and not be the reason that anyone unneccesarily has to be at work because of us.
Just wanted to make sure readers of your post didn't take a broad brush and try to apply to all.
George Wood, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God asks:
"Are you saying that the Catholics are also unwelcome in Chicago because they don’t have Chicago values? That evangelicals aren’t welcome? That Muslims aren’t welcome? That Orthodox Jewish people are not welcome?
“That other persons who have religious beliefs that marriage is between a man and a woman don’t have Chicago values and therefore they are excluded from your community? Do you intend to discriminate against persons of faith? Do you intend to marginalize them"? Are you becoming, in your view, intolerant of persons of religious faith?
The Apostles used to demonstrate their beliefs by being crucified upside down, burned at the stake, etc.........nowadays, Christians can show their belief by eating at Chick-Fil-A! It's great to be a Christian in 2012!

Milllions of chickens now oppose gay marriage !!! this is the best stimulous the left will ever come up with
I would think that chickens would be FOR gay marriage, since a boycott of Chick-Fil-A could save their life! But......you may be right because the boycott is causing an opposite effect!

On Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day, yeah. It remains to be seen how it settles down, long term. Most likely, both sides will have forgotten all about it in a few weeks or months, at least in terms of the effect on CFA sales. I think that's what happens with boycotts, typically.
