University of Louisville students cannot use Chick-fil-A sauce in good conscience.Dan Cathy, Chick-fil-A's president, has long supported groups that fight against LGBT rights, spending millions through their charitable arm WinShape. However, earlier this month in an interview with the Baptist Press, when asked about his rumored bias against same-sex marriage rights, Cathy responded "guilty as charged."
Then in another interview on "The Ken Coleman Show", Cathy said "I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.' And I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is about."

Or, as the Canadians say, "Chick-fil-Eh?... Hoser."

ReplyDeleteI think she'll do nicely.
As a logger.

I'm hardly the first person to point it out, but marriage seems to have been redefined pretty regularly during the historical period covered in the Bible, and since. If Dan Cathy can tell, based on the information available in the Bible, exactly what constitutes a marriage in God's eyes, then he's a better exegete than I.
ReplyDeleteTo me, the audacity (or is it hubris?) comes in claiming to speak for God, especially when condemning others. All Christians are tempted to do it now and then, but there's a very significant responsibility involved, and humility and awe are, as I understand it, the appropriate approaches when treading on such holy, and potentially treacherous, ground. I'm willing to say, in reference to my own support of same-sex marriage, "if I'm wrong, on my head be it as much as those I have helped to lead astray." I wonder whether Mr. Cathy is willing to say the same of his opposition to measures that would offer gay couples and gay-headed families some very basic protections, not to mention the respect (I would argue) they're due as part of God's good creation?
