I don't want to get too serious or political but since we're currently in the midst of a chickfila media circus....

My friend (gay man) posted something to facebook which included Dan Cathy's quote "We don't claim to be a Christian business, but as an organization we operate on Biblical principals."

There was another component to his post, but I won't get into that. It incited a lengthy debate as you can imagine. Serious opinions all around, thankfully most of them respectful. Bible scripture was hurled this way and that (I'm a Christian and am annoyed when people do that, regardless of the topic being discussed). I was exhausted after reading all 77 comments.

 I do want to point out a particularly amusing comment:
  • Um, I don't claim to be gay, but as a person, I operate on homosexual principles. Utter nonsense. Dear Chick-Fil-A: You are a chicken joint, not a church. Put your bible down and get back to the fryer. 
And after much scripture-tossing, this was said:
  • ...we can all quote Scripture to our advantage, to bolster our own interpretation. Scripture is to guide us, not to provide us with ammunition with which to wound others. The only weapon we have is love, not judgment. So it would be better to throw love at one another than condemning Scripture passages. Plus it's a lot of fun.

Now I must post this video because it's freaking hilarious...


oh and then this, because I love Jon Stewart:
