I didn't even know who they were donating to in the first place
frankly, I don't think donations need to be made to a specific cause of any particular group
apparently I could be in the minority. what else is new? haha
and there is the interesting fact about group think. if most are persuaded (and obviously not referring to CC especially, but Christians in particular who seem to be offended, wherever they may hang their coat) then aren't they doing what they say they don't like? bascially trying to force action against someone or an entity they do not like by saying they will no longer frequent the offender and try to shame said offender into doing what the group thinks?
majority may rule, but IMO, that does not make them king for a day and both political parties do this (with special grace to the left ) and Christians do this and I find it churlish
should I go dig a fox hole?
ps...I don't like their 'chips' and prefer other chicken sandwiches.
For me the point is, up until this corporate decision to cut off funding to Christian charities that benefited greatly from just CF's monies, CF has been boycotted regularly by those committed to the cause and from the LGBTQ community and for years. This started when the family's
one man one woman marriage and Christian values commitment made news during the gay marriage reporting of the SCOTUS decision.
Now, if we read the OP article, we see that CF, that stood against the boycott and protests outside their stores when it all began, has now openly conceded to the LGBTQ agenda against the company.
From the OP article: "
Chick-fil-A said Monday that it has stopped donations to several Christian organizations after receiving backlash from LGBT rights activists over the last several weeks.
The U.S. fast food chain said that as it expands, it
will no longer donate to the
Salvation Army, the Paul Anderson Youth Home, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which opposes same-sex marriage. The company’s charity, the Chick-fil-A Foundation, has donated millions of dollars to the two organizations.
“We made multi-year commitments to both organizations and we fulfilled those obligations in 2018,” a representative for Chick-fil-A
said, saying the chain will now focus its charitable donations on “education, homelessness and hunger.” " (Note: Those new "charitable donations? Were the categories of those former charities CF supported until 2018. Only those charities upheld Christian values. )
But now, what's changed? What LGBTQ backlash! Because LGBTQ activists found out how this corporation spends its money!
Donating to Christian charities. Which means those groups support Christian values.
That's why LGBTQ is in an uproar now. It isn't new. They've been actively opposing CF since the SCOTUS decision when CF came out and said their family company believes in one man one woman marriage. Now, LGBTQ activists are upset to learn that CF donates its monies to Christian charities who do the same; uphold Christian values.
Only now, CF has thrown down the flag, and conceded to the community of immoral unrepentant sinners. At the expense of Christian charities that address homelessness, hunger, and support education.
Christians know that our metal is tested when we're met face to face by the adversary. That's when we know our worth and if what we were before was just words, or is now dedication and zeal for God.
CF caved to the pressure of organized Hell bound immoral sinners and turned away from God blessed, faith and family values grounded, Christian charities.
They are a shame before God.
