Chic-fil-a
13 years ago
I just recently saw a journal about a 'support chic-fil-a' day, which went on about how it was a christian organization and should be supported by good christians. i would like to point out that 1) no company has the right to discriminate against ANYBODY for any reason whatsoever, 2) the bible says that you should love thy neighbor, not 'love thy neighbor, unless they are gay, in which case make their life a living hell' and 3) the only passages against homosexuality (assuming that they weren't mistranslated, which most of the bible is) are in leviticus, which also promotes stoning people to death, forbids wearing mixed fibers, eating pork or seafood, and promotes owning slaves. not only is there a lot of mistranslation in the bible, but it has been edited uncounted times to promote political agendas. don't believe me? i'll give you a simple example. "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." when the bible was written, there was a distinction between practitioners of light or dark magic. the original passage is more along the lines of 'thou shalt not suffer the presence of a practitioner of dark magic.' guess what? it was a king of england who had an issue with all magic, and decided to change the translation to mean any practitioner of magic. so when a COMPANY decides that they can discriminate against any group of people, that means to me that they are NOT good christians at all. so, if any of you out there decide that you want to support somebody who says that one group of people shouldn't have the same rights that they already enjoy, then you can go ahead and unfriend me, because i want nothing to do with you.

I know I'm most likely going to catch some flak for this but as someone who was raised Christian I can say that most Christians and Catholics in America seem like idiotic sheep. I know not all of them are retarded but enough of them are to warrant discretion when around people who are deeply religious.

lol, i know what you mean. i have plenty of christian friends, but it seems like there are more bible thumping idiots out there than people who actually understand what the bible is supposed to mean, and adapt a 3000 year old, multitranslated and picked over version of a book, to the modern world

Humans are still evolving out of the "be wary of difference" period burned into multiple generations through religious conditioning and hate mongering.

all verses used to cadone hate are man made leviticus laws in mathew are stated to be laws of man not god. only other 2 references is sadamgammora which was towns people wanting to rape angels and even then you hav to readbetween lines that they were male or came form of man BUT that could ealsy ment came in mortal form. last reference ar eteachings of paul but he was raise din oldtestimate style and new testiment and most of it is pauls opinion not truely GOD saying it. and also the other nes of chi fil a that one person died also. or soposedly died could ealsy been media going for disapear neve rreturn change name thing. But ye athey may have free speech but their right ends wher emine begin And yea is christian but every time i ehard those anti gay verses i seense evil from them. we are to be a "light house in the darkest storm leading the lost souls home, not a battle ship blowing them out of water."

true. when i get the bible quoted at me, i point out that those verses came from leviticus, just like stoning people to death, not eating certain foods (though, if you think about it, THAT one probably made a lot more sense 3000 years ago) or not cutting your hair. not to mention how many times it was translated, and how it could easily be mistranslated, especially to justify certain positions.

main thing i know and beleave is the salvation and thats the key thing anything else is just storys of peoples adventures another good to note is book of job. also the pork thing back then was cause it was unclean due to preparation each person that cooked it or fixed it got sick so they probly went "its of the devil" XD
