Chick Fil A Caves in what can only be seen a path dictated by the Benjamins. As a fan of their business model, but not their food, I am truly disappointed in their choice here.

As with most Kanye-produced merch, the Sunday Service church clothes didn?t come cheaply. Sweatshirts ranged from $165 to $225, while t-shirts set fans back at least $70. The most affordable items up for grabs were the socks, which had a price tag of $50.

Though I applaud their limiting their support for anti-gay organizations, they have once again proven, as you said, it is all about "the Benjamins".

Alleged anti-gay - I don't see how Salvation Army is anti-gay since they give more to poor LGBTQ than any other group.
The Bible teaches that God's intention for humankind is that society should be ordered on the basis of lifelong, legally sanctioned heterosexual unions. ... A disposition towards homosexuality is not in itself blameworthy nor is the disposition seen as rectifiable at will. ... Homosexual practice however, is, in the light of Scripture, clearly unacceptable. Such activity is chosen behaviour and is thus a matter of the will. It is therefore able to be directed or restrained in the same way heterosexual urges are controlled. Homosexual practice would render any person ineligible for full membership (soldiership) in the Army.

Believing it is wrong is far different than the way "anti-gay" is militantly used in the culture today.
Anyone who applauds less funds being donated to the Salvation Army is truly anti-gay - AND anti-humanitarian

Do you feel the same way about Donald Trump, for whom sexual predation is probably considerably less than 3% of what he does?

So in your "protecting" the 3% of the defenseless from death, you are OK with risking the health and even extended life of the other 97%, ALL of whom were also created in the image of the same God.
Got it.

Yes, absolutely. In trying to minimize the health risks and to extend the life of the other 90-97% (you left out the range in trying to condemn me), are you OK with murdering the 3-10%?

I am opposed to abortion being used as birth control. For situations involving the physical and/or mental health of the baby or mother, that is a decision that should be made by the mother, her family and her medical counsel. It is NOT my business, NOT my right to interfere in the mother's autonomy to support HER unborn.
