It's hard for this story to land any other way than that CF caved to the militant LGTBQ community. Having said that, my reasons for eating at Chic-Fila have nothing to do with their religious views or the fact that they're closed on Sunday. I eat there because they have a good product and good service. Any time you see someone compromise their previously held convictions it stings a little. While I have no emotional attachment to CF, I realize there are many who support them

The whole thing is ridiculous. Christians are just looking for something to be angry about, and CFA is some sacred cow that we can't go near.It's fast food folks. This isn't the end of the world. Let's eat and get back to God's work ---------My Facebook www.facebook.com/theB3

How much does it hurt the Salvation Army? Maybe you'd think it was a big deal if that was important to you. Of course its not the end of the world, but it is something. Like I said, I'll eat there when the mood hits, I just don't care anymore, and if you think they didn't capitalize on their Biblical stand before this, then you are kidding yourself. Why is it important to some? It either touches a charity they believe in directly, or it was a common cause feeling that many shared with a lone voice in the large corporate world. It's going to hurt & it's going to hurt a lot.For over 10 years our church has provided food to the needy every Saturday morning.The biggest donor to our food ministry is ...you guessed it, Salvation Army.Ever since we began getting their donations to our food bank it took our food ministry to the top in terms of the quality of food.I've been informed by our local SA warehouse that they don't know how much longer they'll be able to keep the doors open in light of this news.Here's the deal, for the last few weeks the SA office has been called in to numerous meetings & they've been scaling back as much as possible but even through all of this it may not be enough. They knew some bad news was coming but they didn't know who it was that was going to pull their support.CFA caved & they caved to the worst of the worst in terms of protestors. And don't even think for a second that the LGBTQ community will be happy or satisfied with CFA's new position, they'll demand more & more.Once you let the devil in to your kitchen he's gonna ruin the chicken!!!If SA shuts down their food warehouse here in our community then our food ministry will be down to hardly anything in terms of quantity & quality. Closest CFA is 35 miles away so I don't have to worry about missing a meal lol Empty nest syndrome is for the birds!Email me at: [email protected] planters are focused on just one thing ...introducing people to Jesus!

If CFA had been donating to organizations that support conversion therapy, or something like that, that would be one thing. But the Salvation Army and FCA? These are the organizations that are beyond the pale of support? That's really tough to process.

So maybe instead of all the hand-wringing and crying over CFA's decision, Christians should step up to the plate and give to the Salvation Army. I gave to the Salvation Army for years through my place of employment because they were there for me when our finances were at our worst. The way our program is set up changed a few years ago & I give to something within the hospital now, but if we all gave - even small amounts - it would help make up the slack More of Him...less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name

This is good stuff... Folks - I love chicken, and I believe those organizations are worth being invested into. But from what I've seen, I think the media is making this out to be something it's not, and we're allowing our love of CFA and their Christian values to overrule our emotions here. CFA isn't the end-all, be-all of restaurants or Christian organizations. While I appreciate what they do and have done, they do not belong on the pedestal we've placed them on. Too many times, we've seen good people and good organizations fall. All we do is set ourselves up for a let-down with all this hero worship ---------My Facebook www.facebook.com/theB3

This is a great point and this leads to something I'd really like to know.The basic facts of the story are that CFA has previously given to 300+ organizations, and has recently decided to give to just 3 instead, one each in three categories of giving that they feel are important to their values as an organization. Separate any other context or motivation, this just represents a basic reduction of complexity in their giving portfolio and isn't that big of a deal.That said -- every report I've read about this has talked about how CFA is no longer giving to FCA or the Salvation Army or other charities that aren't viewed as friendly to LGBT causes. Who said that? Is that media commentary? Or did CFA say it?If the latter, then at least some commentary on it is reasonable IMO. If the former, then I'd agree that the media is spinning this up out of thin air.
