That feels like a betrayal, not only to those charities, but to the millions of customers who have come to Chick-fil-A’s defense over the years for its right to hold fast to its own beliefs.

It is a betrayal.

Homofascists want some gay people on the board of directors or as CEO.

This game is being played in every industry.

We now live in a Genesis 19:9 world.

I wonder, do they attack muslim organizations for being “anti-gay?”

Inquiring minds want to know.

I guess the moral of the story is to not put your faith into earthly institutions. We,who are true believers,are not of this world. Literally.

If a giant like Chick-fil-A can succumb to anti-religious pressure, then it can happen anywhere. And the activists now know it.

This is a good article, but the author completely misses an important point. Chick-fil-A succumbed BECAUSE it is now a giant, not IN SPITE OF its size. This is the same tired old routine you see with any business that starts small and then grows beyond the managerial capabilities of a small group of principled owners.

I used to go out of my way to patronize Chick-fil-A regularly when I would make occasional trips down to the South. Once they started showing up in retail centers up here in the Northeast a few years ago, I knew their days as a company run by people with religious principles were over.

So now I don’t patronize the company up here in the Northeast, and I don’t patronize them down South anymore, either.

They don't and it's because they're cowards.

Have a healthy distrust for all organizations. That includes everything from the church to the military.

Don’t place your faith in a chicken sandwich place.

I hope I am around when the pendulum swings.

And I hope it swings very very hard.

Interesting.

I’m living in a John 3:16 world.

“Don’t place your faith in a chicken sandwich place.”

Welcome to FR.

I rebut your statement. I’m pretty hard on squishy milquetoast freepers, but NO ONE here has ever placed their faith in a “chicken sandwich place”.

They supported the “chicken sandwich place” because of ITS stance on faith — UNTIL NOW.

More than a week of posts has made that perfectly clear to all but the CFA defender trolls.

I’ll now guffaw at the thought of placing one’s “faith in a chicken sandwich place”.

TOO funny!!!!

Faith with with a lower case F was intentional.

When I read the comments on these threads how people are done with Chick-fil-A I just shake my head how for so many years I missed the obvious.

The fact is many if not most conservatives are just as ignorant as liberals and often more so.

Chick-fil-A is big because they have made good business decisions. They are a very conservative faith run company who are on the good side. This recent decision on what charities to support was a BUSINESS decision. Many purist conservatives are too ignorant and frankly too stupid to see this.

It's no wonder we are losing our country to leftists. We play right into their hands and they know it. So just keep it up nitwits. Hurt Chick-fil-A if you can. Drive them out of business. Then buy some Nike shoes and head over to starbucks with your money and spend it there.

What the heck is that supposed to mean?

Judas Iscariot made a great business decision, too.

Why are you blaming Freepers for turning their backs on Chick-fil-A when they no longer support a private company whose business decisions no longer align with their faith and morals?

CFA is dead to me. The food was never very good. Church’s & Popeye’s chicken are much better. I only ate at CFA because of their support of Salvation Army. Now that that is gone, so am I.

I am familiar with that verse. The upshot is that the reason for the Gift of forgiveness was so that it would be given to everyone on Earth. All resistance to that truth must be overwhelmed and defeated. And that includes the tyrants at the top of Chick-fil-a. Who, in fact, are they? Who made this decision? Was there a vote? Who voted, and how? Their faces should be posted for all the world to see, and with that their office address, their contact information and what they do. Bible believing people are in despair and hopelessness. They are like sheep without a Shepard. Who will blow the shofar of war and rouse them? Did not the Nazarene say “I have not come to bring Peace but a Sword!” Did he not say that “the gates of hell will not prevail” against his army? Something is fundamentally wrong with a Christianity that has drifted so far from its roots in Torah that the life-flow from the G-d of Israel has been shut off. The answer is in rediscovering and re-activating the Power of Torah. There is no other way.

Post #17 pretty much sums it up for me, too.

When a company changes its tune on the one thing that many of its customers consider its defining characteristic, then why would anyone be surprised -- even upset -- when those customers walk away?

When will people realize that to give an inch to these people is a horrible mistake. It is like throwing a bucket of chum in shark infested waters. Never acquiesce to their insanity. Never. They cannot he compromised with.
