It really isn’t about Chick-Fil-A at all, that has just become the catalyst for the culture war to jump into the light… This has got to happen in a natural progression. Just as other forms of bigotry have been defeated in the past, part of the process is it being pushed into the mainstream and no longer simply whispered about. We just live in an information overload age compaired to when we were talking of women’s rights or the rights of blacks, for example. This event is basically drawing the lines out in public… showing who is supporting the freedoms & rights for all, and who is supporting restriction of rights & freedoms for some. As it was said so well the other day, “Thank you C.F.A. for pointing out who the bigots are”.

Everyone has the right to believe anything they want… but if your beliefs are bigoted (such as believing another person is “less than you”, “second class”, “undeserving of the same rights or privelages”, “missing something”, “of less morals”, or in any other way “bad” based on sex, race, nationality, sexual orientation, or any other accident of birth), then they are deserving of criticism and certainly not of respect.

If your religion supports, promotes, or appologizes for bigotry… I would suggest you take a good hard look at why you believe in such a religion.
