Freedom of Speech

I have refrained from getting on the social media soap box about Chik-Fil-A.

Yes the status updates and comments about Chik-Fil-A have completely taken over my newsfeed the last few days. 
Have you seen it today?  That is ALL anyone has posted about. 

Did I have my Chik-Fil-A today?  YES I DID!!!

My thoughts on the situation:  Dan Cathy said in an interview that the company was very much supportive of the family, with a puase, and then the words that have been heard worldwide....
"THE BIBLICAL DEFINITION OF THE FAMILY UNIT". 
 No he didn't ;)  Yes he did! 

So what does the bible say??  Here are a few!

Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."

Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

1 Corinthinas 6: 9-10 - Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

So if you look at scripture, the Bible clearly condems homosexuality & same sex marriages. 

Am I saying that this sin is greater than another??  NO. 

Based on the Bible this is wrong.  Mr Cathy was slammed for stating what he believed in.  In no way did he Gay Bash!  Why should someone be slammed for stating their beliefs! 

This weekend we were in the local mall and two female girls, they couldn't have been more than 13 years old, walked right out in front of me and my two girls holding hands.  REALLY! 
#1 where are your parents??? 
#2 My 7 and 10 year old don't need to see this back-to-school shopping. 

America has lost its value along the way!  WE do have freedom of speech and freedom to believe what we want. We don't slam you when you openly show PDA in front of us!  Don't slam a good business man because his business is based and ran on christian values.

I supprted my Chik-Fil-A today!




Did you???
