Muppets dump Chick-fil-a

1. So, you're arguing nobody got married before Jesus came along?

2. Do you even know what you're talking about?

1. No.
2. Yes. It would be, technically, a civil institution.

What part of "instituted" do you need explained to you, then?

[Abatael]

I don't need anything explained to me.

Well, you claimed that Christ instituted something that had existed for millennia before he existed. I thought you might need some help.

[Lialoth]

Legally it won't be valid. Religiously, however, it would be valid, and that is what I care about the most, when I get married.

Good for you, but that still gives you no right to reduce the religious freedoms and civil rights of others.

[Chalkfarm]

I used to believe in the BS line of "hate the sin but love the sinner" but I quickly learned it was just a nice way to feel good about treating others bad.

Is it really impossible now days to tell somone off without hating them? a sad state of affairs.

"Chick-fil-A in a statement said it has a history of applying biblically-based principles to its business, and that it strives to treat everyone with honor, dignity and respect."
If CFA actually cared about being "Christian" then they would be for gay marriage, not against.

Yes, a religiously Christian matrimony, because that is what I am talking about.

You seem to be trying to change this from a discussion about what type of institution marriage is to something about same-sex marriage.

I enjoy how they serve cheese on their chicken, despite God firmly declaring that one should not mix dairy with meat. I guess they skipped that page on accident, someone should contact them about that mistake.

On a thread about same sex marriage rights?
How dare he!

[Greed and Death]

Wouldn't be a real marriage though.

Legally it won't be valid. Religiously, however, it would be valid, and that is what I care about the most, when I get married.

Many states recognize it.

Okay, my discussion is off-topic, but it isn't on that topic about same-sex marriage; it's about the type of institution marriage is.

And, this thread is about the Muppets "dum[ing]" Chick-fil-a.

There are several definitions of "classical, religious, or traditional marriage" which one do you mean? Do you mean the one where you can marry four women, plus concubines, plus sex slaves? Do you mean the one where you can marry slaves? What is a traditional viewpoint of a wedding?

[Unchecked Expansion]

... for their position on same sex marriage.

Yes, but this thread is about the act made, because of a belief.

I am currently talking about a religious marriage.

[Lialoth]

Religion is a government-run institution that is also provided, as service, by some religions (The religious service it is). Some churches want to allow same-sex marriage and others don't.

Why should the churches against allowing same-sex marriage get to dictate to the others what they can or cannot perform?

Again, have your little "religious marriage". Just don't try to keep marriage away from me, or people like me.

The point is that, at various times, those have all been examples of religious marriage.

Yes, a religiously Christian matrimony, because that is what I am talking about.

Well, everyone else is talking about regular marriage. You know, the kind available to everyone, except same sex couples. Whether or not your cute little church recognizes it is moot.

Saint Peter got rid of that law along with not eating pork. So it doesn't apply to Christians.

[Vitius]

Ah, I'm glad that they made the decision to drop Chick-fil-a as a partner.

Still, they should've given the money back to Chick-fil-a. That's just slapping someone in the face because you don't agree with their beliefs.

Why? Once given it was theirs to use - especially if it was payment for an endorsement already given

Must have forgotten how Saint Peter > God.

You do know that I am talking about the type of institution marriage is, and not same-sex marriage, right?

What exactly is "the point" trying to prove?

Yes, a religiously Christian matrimony, because that is what I am talking about.

It's "moot" to you, but I don't care what it is to you.

Protestants (who make up 65% of the Christians in the U.S.) don't acknowledge the Pope's authority. Hence, Protestants, as in Christians who protested against the Catholic Church and its leadership (read: The Pope).

So, actually, it applies to about two-thirds of the Christians in America.
