To Care or Not to Care?

The Chick Fil A controversy has aroused many people; especially, the homosexual community. The controversy rose because Chick Fil A funds anti-Gay groups.  Dan Cathy, the president of  Chick Fil A, openly stepped into a "national debate".  The president's actions had consequences; offending, losing, and gaining customers.  Cathy goes on to say on a radio station, "We’re 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 that thinks we have the audacity to redefine what marriage is all about.”  As if to say that we are trying to correct God's thinking and believe we know better than Him.

I for one have nothing against gays/lesbians.  People should be able to love or care for whom ever they like . However, my question to you (readers) why should we care for what Chick Fil A does with its money?  Shouldn't we respect their opinions just like we would like for people to respect our opinions?  Whether you support or don't support gay rights we don't question your reasons.  However, since Chick Fil A is a well know restaurant people make it a big deal. Doesn't it say in the Constitution that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.  All Cathy did was express how he felt about homosexuality. He neither harmed or neglect service to homosexual, bisexual, or transgender people.  How come people don't question what churches do with their tithes? Why? I tell you why, because the church is suppose to be a place we learn moral, values, and beliefs. We would never question what is said in the bible because theses are teachings of God's son. The only exception to this statement would be atheists or un-orthodox people. So again I ask you, why should we care or not care what Chick Fil A does with its money?
