Absurd Birds Flock to Chick-Fil-A

One of the big stories from the past couple weeks is that of the comments by Chick-Fil-A CEO, Dan Cathy.  In an appearance on "The Ken Coleman Show",  the CEO stated,

"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'...I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about....We are very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives..."

These series of statements set off a barrage of attacks against Dan Cathy, Chick-Fil-A, and anyone who agreed with Cathy's beliefs.  The impending result was a boycott on Chick-Fil-A, and a counter measure to show support for the CEO.  Chick-Fil-A supporters flocked to the restaurant in a record sales day for the company.  Intolerance was fought with intolerance, and countered with intolerance.  

This whole process is awesome as it allows people to exercise their freedom of opinion.  My issue with all of this is the lack of consistency displayed by those that showed their support for Chick-Fil-A.  Inconsistency you may ask?  

How many of these supporters arrived at Chick-Fil-A listening to Lady Gaga, Clay Aiken or Adam Lambert?  How many of these supporters left listening to Queen, Green Day, or Village People?  How many of these supporters went home and watched Modern Family?  

And then how many of Dan Cathy's supporters actually listened to what he said?  How many of those supporters have moved past their first marriages, or even third marriages?  

Isn't it ironic that the christian moral activists community has a strong presence on Facebook, whose CEO Mark Zuckerburg is atheist?  

Perhaps the most perplexing issue to me is that of Dan Cathy.  As a self proclaimed "Christian", it would seem to me that he would at least try to live his life the way Jesus taught in the New Testament.  If we are thinking about the same Jesus, I recall him hanging out with the sinners, teaching and encouraging them, not judging them and calling them out on their imperfections.  If its the same Jesus I grew up learning about, I seem to recall him saying something about letting the sinless cast the first stone.  

So if judging others and looking down on them for not possessing the same beliefs is your idea of "Christianity", I wish you well on your present-day crusade.
