One correction for Sorbo: People weren't boycotting Chik-fil-a for "being christian". There are tens of thousands of businesses that are "christian". It was Chik-fil-a's large donations to homophobic groups and the president of the company at the time Dan Cathy (and current Chairman of the Board) making public homophobic statements.

Be whatever religion you want, but when you use your money and power to repress other people, that's where you earn a boycott.

I’d argue chic-fil-a is especially NOT Christian for refusing to love their neighbor as themselves.

I'd suggest you take a look at the last millennium and a half of Christian history.

Bible god wasn't ambiguous about being pro slavery and women as property, or war, or genocide, or hardening hearts violating free will, or.

Also never speaks up to distance himself from the monsters using his name in vain.

Good christians never read the book.

I will similarly argue there was a WHOLE lot of bad done by folks labeling themselves as Christians during that time period.

I’m not a Christian, but I was raised as one and I know what I was taught goes in the face of most of all of the things they do.

That's because Christianity basically just exists to justify hating others.

The true Christians are the ones that are good and do everything we agree on. Meanwhile the true Muslims are the ones that value Jihad and violence above everything else. Not like those Christians (the good ones).

Are you even American?

The rules are all made up and the points don't matter. They're just a Christian as any other Christian I've ever met.

To morons like Sorbo homophobia=Christianity.
