Chick-fil-A ‘s Judas Kiss

To think It all started with “marriage is between a man and a woman.” From there the battle lines were drawn. Between righteousness and sin, good and evil, Christianity and secularism, diversity of sexuality and gender identity-based cultures versus traditional faith-based scripture truths. We as a people, as a culture, as a nation must choose the path we walk, for better or worse. It is said: “In each of us, two natures are at war – the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them and, one of them must conquer. But in our own hands lies the power to choose – what we want most to be we are.” Hence, the battle lines are drawn.

To say I was distressed, disheartened and disappointed, is an understatement when I learned that Chick-fil-A has felt de rigueur to divert funding from the Salvation Army, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and other faith-based charities that are associated with Christianity, or religious groups whose doctrine of faith runs contrary to the LGBTQ community/advocates dogma. Regardless of who donates to what charitable organization, no business should be discriminated against simply because its owners donate to a church, the Salvation Army, or other religious organization(s).

Like many Conservative Christians, I feel the restaurant chain has bitten the hand that has fed it since its inception. Why would those in charge now turn their backs on the values of its founder, Truett Cathy? One can rightly conclude the current Chick-fil-A President and CEO, Tim Tassopoulos has applied the Judas Kiss to the memory of Truett Cathy. Governor Mike Huckabee summed it best when he accused the current Chick-fil-A leadership of “selling out.” Furthermore, one must wonder how long before Chick-fil-A is open on Sundays. Don’t be surprised if your local Chick-fil-A hosts a Sunday morning Drag Queen Story Hour with gender-fluid bovines wearing feather boas and stiletto hooves.

Are we not 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 what psychiatry calls sexual perversion or deviancy (Paraphilia)? Truett Cathy once said; “I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude that thinks we have the audacity to redefine what marriage, is all about.” This being said, there’s still a glimmer of hope that righteousness will prevail at the end of the day.  In the words of MLK, “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.”
