Good and Evil

It's more of calling evil good and good evil. Why is it that Target stores can start selling its new line of gay and lesbian greeting cards and no one, including the media, says a word? But when the president of Chick-fil-A dares to share his personal conviction and speaks out against gay marriage, the whole world goes ballistic!

Things are so backward and turned upside-down in America. People are promoting evil instead of calling it what it is: SIN. I can't believe what's happening in America.

Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy is an honorable businessman who tries to run his company by godly and biblical principles. How often do you see that anymore? Chick-fil-A closes all of its 1,600 restaurants on Sundays so employees can go to church or spend time with their families. The company still has been very successful in spite of only being open six days a week.

Now, Chick-fil-A is the target of boycotts and smear campaigns because Dan Cathy took a biblical stand. He told the Baptist Press last week that his company is "guilty as charged" in support of the biblical definition of the family.

For that, people want to boycott the restaurants. The mayor of Boston is even vowing to block Chick-fil-A from opening a restaurant in the city. Mayor Thomas Menino said he doesn't want a business in the city "that discriminates against a population."

I admire Dan Cathy and his family for their godly example. I saw an interview over the weekend with Chick-fil-A's founder, 91-year-old Truett Cathy. I was so impressed by how he lives and runs his business. He describes the Bible as the guidebook for his life. It's obvious that his family doesn't hate gays or discriminate against anyone.

It's sad that people have started this firestorm of protest against Chick-fil-A because of its biblical world view. Instead of boycotts, we need to support Chick-fil-A. I know I will.
