Jim Henson Company Cuts Ties With Chick-Fil-A

I've never loved Kermit more!

Speech is still free, and Chick-Fil-A is entitled to their (backwards, bigoted) beliefs….that being said, Free Speech does not mean that you can hate without expecting repercussions!

I did not realize The Jim Henson Company supported homosexuality. I am very sorry to hear that.

they support equal rights and equality. how 'bout you grow up and give it a try?

and if you, also, are a homophobic bigot, i'm sure the henson company can get along quite well without your support.

Fantastic news! I've always respected the Jim Henson company and I looked up to Jim Henson as a role-model for my creative endeavors. That respect just went up 100x.

What hate? Christian belief is based on the Bible. We don't have any right to question it or twist it to suit our immorality of lifestyle. God and Christians don't hate the sinner… just the sin itself. You are confused.

Your freewilled decisions will have their own repercussions if you don't repent (turn away from the sin)

Clearly, you need to read a bible.

i've read it. just like i've read lots of fiction. your bible does NOT trump my LIFE

Karen Hughes Allen and it's nice to know you spent all of 2 minutes (if that) reading the link i posted. way to go

I never even clicked it.

If we should dislike anything about the Jim Henson company, it's that they're taking way too long making that sequel to Dark Crystal

of course not, you can't be bothered to open your mind, can you? let me help you out:

Concerning the verses you confidently know you know, my challenge is quite simple. Look at all (5 to 7, depending on your count) of the references to same sex behavior in the Bible. In every instance, the behavior is bundled together with rape, prostitution, abuse or worship of a god other than God. The combination of the purpose and the resultant action created something that did not please God.

Consider this: is it the combined wrong purpose and behavior being condemned or is it all same-sex relationships being condemned?

If every time the Bible mentioned the exchange of money and that exchange were bundled with violence, prostitution, or manipulation, we might think the giving of money is evil and unacceptable. But we know that is not true. We know how to separate immoral purposes in some couplings and have missed it on the issue of same-sex relationships.

The only examples the Old and New Testament writers knew of same-sex behavior were associated with immoral purposes: rape, prostitution,abuse and manipulation in idol worship. That was their culture, their time. The bundled purpose and the resultant same-sex behaviors were immoral.

Of the thousands of relationships I have with GLBT people, I do not know one based in rape, prostitution, abuse or manipulation of idols. The Bible is not referring to loving, same-sex, monogamous relationships. We have wrongly applied Bible verses to fit our biases about gay people.

fuck u stupid faggots and your unnatural lifestyle, hope u all die of aids.

i'll give you this, at least you admit you're a mindless bigot

Atheists can't tell me anything. They don't even know where they came from. (Everything evolved from nothing) Wow.. that's very…. deep.

of course, it's a much better theory that an invisible guy in the sky made everything we see…religion is a social construct, any sociology class will teach you that. but then you probably don't believe in the wicked magical ways of scientific theory

http://godisimaginary.com/index.htm

Jeremiah Policky To sum up your paragraph, Sin is sin. No matter how big or small. But you are not comdemned… You have a choice to be redeemed or not.

The Bible is a work of fiction, written by Men in power, to control their submissives/inferiors through fear. It has been re-written HUNDREDS of times to suit the agenda of the day… so YOUR belief in a fiction novel designed to control idiots through fear WILL NOT trump my civil rights!

Scientific Theory…. THEORY being the key word. … Wow,.. another link to click on…. Hmmm…. Is the internet where I'm going to find the answers to life's mysteries? You are another one of those 'educated idiots' You guys are a dime a dozen. You all say the same thing… You just can't tell me how you were created. So until you get that out of the way, how can move forward? You can't even answer the simplest question.

I'm a Christian and I'll tell you right now that CanyonWalkerConnections has more Christianity in it than any of your comments Karen. You misinterpret and cherry pick what you want to believe in the Bible. Luckily there are a whole lot of real Christians out there that actually see the truth.

Hey, I'm a Christian, and I just wanted to make you all aware that not all of us are as unfortunately delusional, asinine and vapid as Karen here. Some of us do still stand up for compassion, understanding, tolerance and love. Not condemnation. Cheers! =)

no, sin is also a social construct, invented by men in power, as gregg said, to control those under them. your jesus probably never existed, and if he did, i highly doubt he would have hated gay people. did you know, in fact, that the church had ordained gay marriage in the past? Yup. it was totally accepted by the church. so what has changed? MEN putting their vile bigotry and hatred into it, twisting the bible to their own petty ways. "While the pairing of saints, particularly in the early Church, was not unusual, the association of these two men was regarded as particularly close. Severus of Antioch in the sixth century explained that "we should not separate in speech [Serge and Bacchus] who were joined in life". More bluntly, in the definitive 10th century Greek account of their lives, St Serge is openly described as the "sweet companion and lover" of St Bacchus.

In other words, it confirms what the earlier icon implies, that they were a homosexual couple. Unusually their orientation and relationship was openly accepted by early Christian writers. Furthermore, in an image that to some modern Christian eyes might border on blasphemy, the icon has Christ himself as their pronubus, their best man overseeing their "marriage".

The very idea of a Christian homosexual marriage seems incredible. Yet after a 12-year search of Catholic and Orthodox church archives Yale history professor John Boswell has discovered that a type of Christian homosexual "marriage" did exist as late as the 18th century.

Contrary to myth, Christianity's concept of marriage has not been set in stone since the days of Christ, but has evolved both as a concept and as a ritual. Prof Boswell discovered that in addition to heterosexual marriage ceremonies in ancient church liturgical documents (and clearly separate from other types of non-marital blessings such as blessings of adopted children or land) were ceremonies called, among other titles, the "Office of Same Sex Union" (10th and 11th century Greek) or the "Order for Uniting Two Men" (11th and 12th century)." …son of a bitch, isn't education an amazing thing?

Karen Hughes Allen i was created when my father stuck his penis in my mother and ejaculated.

Highland Cow thank you

Aundre Seals thank you. it's a tough lot for those of you that get lumped in with the ignorant ones.

Aundre Seals thank you. it's a tough lot for those of you that get lumped in with the ignorant ones.

Karen needs to get laid.

Karen needs to get laid.

Highland Cow: Thank you as well. I am consistenly saddened when I see what some "Christians" do and how they intepret things. It is refreshing to see that there are Christians out there who fight for what the teachings were all about; compassion, treating each other well, and loving one another.

she needs to keep in mind that her bible would have had her stoned for speaking out of turn at one time too.

You are entitled to your opinion, people. You have some nerve accusing Christians of hating then you call names and use your foul language.. I have compassion and pity for all you because I don't want anyone to burn in hell. Your on your own. But one thing for sure: homosexuality is a sin. Case closed. God bless.

speak more with your fellow christians who are not so close minded as you. and i never called you anything but what you are representing yourself to be, a bigot. and i never swore at you. don't try to flip the script as many of you are famous for doing. you, to are entitled to your own OPINION, but that's all it is. I don't appreciate people holding their OPINIONS over me like LAW. Best wishes to you as well.

Karen; and therein lies the problem. Do you think because you don't call us "names" that you are not being a hateful, generally awful human? Please take a glance up at this conversation. You've consistently condemed us all to hell in a pathetically passive aggressive way, you've condescended from your holier than thou tower of self righteousenss and you talkgrant us pity, AS IF we need or care for it. You, Karen, are an extremely poor excuse for a Christan. You, Karen, are an extremely poor excuse for a human. Wake up. Grow up. Expand your mind and your heart and instead of being a cartoon caricature of a Christian…try ACTUALLY living the teaching of Christ? Case closed? Certainly not. Because people like you still exist. People like you continue to hurt people who are different. THAT'S what you are. NOT a Christian, just a sad, confused woman who clings to text that she does not even understand. God bless.

I'll stand behind this lady till the end of days. She's a modern day hero, in my book.

OH MY GAY GOD..I HAVE NEVER LOVED FROG LEGS AND BACON MORE THAN I DO NOW! Rock it out Henson Group!

Awesome.

So is it Karen Hughes-Allen? If so shouldn't you accept your husband's last name like a good ol Christian lady u claim to be? Why get married if you don't want to take on his name? Jeremiah pointed out some clear facts in that you hold so dear to your chest on Sunday morning ..Is your highlighter empty, or is it just the mans loud voice you listen that tells you what's wrong? It would be horrible that you were the good ol Christian tmmfound your man all naked with another man

Yes, speech is free. I read the newspaper article and no where did i see him spreading hate, only stating his beliefs. If another company had come out and stated that they were pro same sex families and donated to groups supporting the same, you would have never heard anything about boycotting them.

Hey Karen, repent while your licking my balls!!!!!

I'm not entirely sure about that Scott. I think there would be plenty of boycotting. Were you under a rock when the whole Ellen/JCPenny thing went down? Plenty of people wanted to boycott them, but more people were disinclined to support it, because it would have been ultimately wrong. We are working TOWARD equality, not against it on a worldwide scale as never before. Newer generations are sick and tired of the oppressive separatist nature still clinging on from the 50's and their spawn. On the other hand, I would say that donating millions of dollars to ensure the continued NON equality of millions of people is a very hateful act, indeed.

Love that they pulled their support from this hate group down with Chic fil a until they officially apologize and stop funding hate groups. Would you support them if they were Nazis same thing.

B/c slaughtering millions of people and being against gay rights are the exact same thing? Not saying Chick-fil-a is right, but the comparison is way off.

(remove *)

Actually its not. They fund The Exodus Group which has worked with Nazis to get legislation passed in other countries to have gays executed. Waffle Fries or Genocide. you decide.

They are against SIN..as all Christians should be. What's wrong with that? That is our freedom.

Thank you Sean and because where do you these things lead to if no stands against them. I am proud to say I am one such American. I am already in talks with the ACLU to bring a suit against the state if GA to marry the man I love. I am going fight for what I believe in. It's time people start taking action and stop just talking about it on fb and waiting for someone else too.

ALL that you can say that "THEY ARE AGAINST SIN"…WHY is homosexuality the ONLY SIN YOU FOCUS ON..?

Because it was the only sin being discussed in this particular topic.

I've invited any of my friends who think waffle fries are more important than I am to going ahead and unfriend me since clearly I don't matter… Sadly the commissioner of our gay softball league was the first to go. Self hatred isnt pretty. I'm also petitioning to have Chick Fil A remove from UCF so it cant sell to the 70,000 students on campus daily as well as my job to end its relationship with them. Power In Numbers people! Be the change you want to see in the world.

They support The Exodus Group which commits genocide. Chick Fil A Supports MURDER. This should not be ok in anyone's book.

That awesome Sean! Until we take a stand it won't change It's time we start taking action and I think that's exactly what were starting to see happen here. Love it!!!

I will NEVER eat there again. There's a huge difference between being Christian and promoting inequality. I guess this guy forgot about the whole "love thy neighbor" thing. The political tide in this country has been turning toward promoting separation and hate. Passing laws to take away rights and for the first time in history making Constitutional amendments to take away civil rights. This country is going down the toilet due to the right wing nuts in this country. "Freedom" is a great way to describe this country *if* you're a white, straight male.

@Karen.. BUT not just in this feed but EVERYWHERE "HOMOSEXUALITY" is the "HOT TOPIC" and the #1 sin..I. mean were you a Virgin before marriage, that's if you are married? "GOD" accepts all your sins cause you "TALK" to him on Sundays..Why can't I be forgiven for the blowjob I give my husband early Sunday morning before church?

I'm going to go to Chik Fil A today. Screw you haters, their waffle fries are fuckin awesome.

When you let politics dictate what you buy, you're nothing more than a self-righteous ass. I'm still going to enjoy Muppets movies and Chick Fil A equally.

Karen Hughes Allen sooo if you had a gay child how could you handle. would you shun him/her and force them to change into something they are not. or like i would do, i would welcome them with open arms and say its ok and im proud of them for entrusting me with this

This debate is going to go on and on til the end of times…however, as a Christian, a Sunday School teacher (who has studied ALL scriptures not just the KJV) and a minister let me inform some of you HATEFUL Christians on YOUR sin since you have such an urge (from the devil NOT God) to call out others. First of all…when scripture was FOUND in the caves of Israel, do you think it was written in the KJV form? NOT at all…it was written in ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek language and from there it has been translated SOOO many times by MAN not God and numerous mistakes have happened throughout time. Do you realize that the KJV that you hold in your hand was translated during a time when the King was trying to put women UNDER submission, make slavery legal, etc.. God NEVER intended for us to be so hateful and while you may believe homosexuality is a sin…do you even know that JESUS healed and commended a GAY mans faith? Of course you don't, you're too busy believing what the MAN behind the pulpit is shoving down your throat. But in fact JESUS did. The story of the Centurion who found JESUS in the desert and told Christ "My servant is sick and dying" when JESUS said "I will come to your house and heal him" the Centurion replied "No Lord I am not worthy but if you just speak the word I know he will be healed" to which Christ replied "In all of Israel have I found NO greater faith" and Jesus spoke the words and the servant was healed…NOW, there was ONE word changed in the original translation that changed the entire meaning of the script. And it was NOT done accidentally…that word would be SERVANT. The Greek word for servant is doulos or something there of but in original script the word "Pais" is there….In Greek, Pais means "YOUNG GAY LOVER".
Now, if being gay is a sin…why is YOUR duty to call anyone out on it but yet you allow the liars, the adulterers, the thieves, etc…go without so much as a word? Matter of fact you allow MANY of them to stand behind a pulpit and teach your children. If you're going to harp on ONE sin, then you've got a LONG list to harp on them all.
YOUR job as a Christian is to LOVE others as Christ has loved YOU and NEVER not one time did HE say to go around bashing ANYONE over the head with their sin cause there is not one single person who is not or has not dealt with some kind of sin in their lives. We are ALL sinners but for Grace of God we can enter into Heaven. He without sin, cast the first stone….You sheeple need to understand what God is really wanting from us and STOP letting the devil use you so much.

While I have loved Chic fil A in the past, they will NEVER get another dime from me! I support love and unity…no matter what form it comes in!!!

karma's a bitch….

Just like people are saying that Chic-Fil-A has the right to their opinion so does Jim Henson. I would never personally work hand in hand with someone who already despises a part of me that cannot be changed. like I wouldn't work with someone who discriminates against me because I am white, or blue-eyed. So Jim Henson has every right to end their business with Chic-Fil-A.

And you could factor in that Exodus International causes so much internal and mental confusion into young people, I know of a few cases where it has driven some who have participated in their program to attempts at suicide and some succeed. It might not be Holocaust genocide degree, but they are making their own small impact

I'm so glad Karen has everything nicely wrapped up with a pretty pink bow, in her sad little world. Honey….if there was a hell, you'd be the charcoal for the fire. Who's the biggest fool here? Why yes, that's you dear. Now run along before a house falls on you.

And is it just me or does her photo make her look like a whore? Well, that would be fitting since Mary Mag was one too.

Good thing nobody really cares about you Elmiller.

Is it just me or does Karen's profile photo make her look like a whore? Well, considering Mary Mag was one, I guess it's fitting.

Oh Timothy……nobody cares about you either. You weirdo.

HA HA HA HA…..Brock…..you know Karen is sitting on the floor, rocking back and forth to console herself. Thinking about you having sex with your man……wishing she could have fun like that……frigid bitch.

@Brock The reason homosexuality is such a hot topic is because YOU make it a hot topic.. You try to force everyone to accept it and agree that it's ok but we won't. And you can't stand it. I'm entitled to my own convictions. But hey, thanks for giving my opinion such weight.

Personally, I never really think about homosexuality until someone tries to bully me into sharing their opinions about it.

Karen, YOUR people try to make others believe that something is wrong with us! Do you see that side of the story?? You can't stand it that we do not agree with YOU! And the only weight your story has is your own. Nobody is bullying you to believe anything. YOUR people are the ones fighting the fact that we are not all the same.

Clearly Karen, you don't read the Bible but, you freely use it as leverage for your own agenda to hate, judge or both. Christ, as in CHRISTian never uttered ONE word about homosexuals. Even in his time as he was surrounded by it. Fucking moron.

I never said anything was wrong with you. We are all sinners. But to be forgiven for your sins means you have to actually stop doing it. Probably seeming impossible to someone who has made a lifestyle of it. We all struggle with sin and temptation. It's a challenge for us all, and I'm definitely not perfect. The problem with this subject is that it's too heated. Homosexuals are feeling judged and Christians are feeling persecuted. I have friends who are homosexuals but they never try to convince me to accept it. We just don't talk about it and we're ok with that. I don't talk about my sex life so I don't want to hear about theirs. It's a personal matter and if everyone kept personal things personal, this wouldn't be such an issue. You can't DEMAND acceptance and approval for something against someone's beliefs. We all know that.

But see, your comment about it being a "lifestyle" means you think it was a choice. That's the problem. It's not like being a vegetarian, or surfer, or an avid cyclist…..it's something that we were born with. Believe me, I don't try and push anything on anyone. Most of my friends are heteros and I have to hear ALL THE TIME about how "hot this girl is" and if I would say "that guy is cute" they get squeamish and I can telll it makes them uncomfortable. Not all of them, but some do. Therefore, it's ok that I have to hear about the "hot girl" but can't talk about the "hot guy." I could care less if anyone accepts me or the way I live because I will NEVER be straight because I have been like this since I can remember. But I will CHOOSE to stay away from people, companies, organizations, etc., that feel I am a bad person or a "sinner" or whatever else they/you choose to say to make me feel less of a human than they/you are.

Karen Allen Hughes has deleted her comments and left the conversation.

Timothy, so does Disney, Target, Wal-Mart, Nabisco, Kraft, Delta, American, US Airways…. the list goes on and on. Go Bury your head in the sand biggot

Sean, you are exacty right, which is why this has become such a hot issue for America. I so hope Chic-fil-A goes under.

I know more companies are going to follow Henson… hell the don't have a prayer of coming into Boston!

It would be awesome if Heinz their ketchup company and Coke would pull their contracts, but I doubt they can beacuse of the revenue it brings them. Would be awesome if they could!

Should the anus be used as a sex organ? Google First Scandal. When you get there, go to the top of the page and click on "Can you explain…"

Chick Fel A never said they hated gays. They said what they thought was a marriage. The people saying all the hateful words are those that are gay and support the lifestyle. You say peace and love but there is no love.

Jim Henson is dead for those that didn't know it, and I'm disgusted that his company could possibly indorse such a thing. And for all you lost bottom feeders on hear who know that you support the devil, its only right you attack anyone that doesn't support gay rights by calling them homophobic bigots, funny actually considering your the only ones judging people. Were just telling the truth, and the truth is that commiting gay acts is a sin, same as adultery, murder etc. But Because they're not making you feel good about the wrong choices youve made, you want to bash them. I don't remember them bashing anybody at any point. I support you Chick-Fil-A and the good moral values youd like to protect. Either way, in the end, God will get the final say.

HERE HERE! AMEN! THE LORD REBUKE YOU SATAN!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in your rant above, the first insulting term thrown is "for all you lost bottom feeders on here".

I applaud Jim Henson's decision. It may be a sin in your eyes, but the ultimate truth provided by the one true God is to love one another. Sins were invented by man in order to influence mankind's behavior and interaction with one another. As long as one doesn't openly insult or challenge God, he still loves you, and even then his mercy is still strong.

To suggest God be wrathful towards individuals for loving one another, tells me that you would rather side with the word of man than the word of God, and that is tragic.

Heaven is open to all those that treat others well and entrance is denied only to a select few, not the other way around.

Why is that those that support what God intended for us to be holy, will be called homophobic bigots, when all we want is to keep what should be sacred, SACRED. I've never judged anyone and told them they're going to hell, we all Sin. I'm gonna puke if I hear one more moron talk smack about a company that teaches the importance of family values, and that just doesnt talk the talk, but they do the walk also. I support chick-fil-a and I am deeply disappointed in the Henson company, does that mean Im gonna tell my son, (you cant watch sesame st.) its produced by sinners, NO! Unlike henson I wont do that because my son loves Elmo and its an entertaining and educational show. I have friends and family that are gay, and I love them, and all this fighting, "does anybody think they are going to win? Humans are pathetic creatures, always looking for something to fight about, gay or straight, black or white, christianity or islam it always has to be something! You damn liberals along with the democrats and republicans are just as bad. In our hearts we all know what is wrong and what is right, and we are our own worst judge except for those that have sold their sould to get what they wanted. And in the end, God gets the final say, and I dont expect the verdict that alot of other people are expecting. I know this sounds korny, but next time somebody doesnt agree with you instead of yelling or name calling, ask yourself this," Is this really how Jesus would handle this?" Is it what he'd would say or how he would act?

Eric, all the bottom feeders are those that come on here and sling insults at those that dont support them. They are good people and dont deserve it. And Im sorry but your wrong, only those that come through Christ are permitted into heaven. You must ask Christ to forgive you for your sins, you must turn from your sins and do your best to lead a life that would mirror Jesus. (I know thats a stretch, cause Im so far from perfect Id need a telescope to catch a glimpse, but it doesnt change the fact) We walk by his light, and when we fall we get up and try again.

As stated, the text can be misleading. I could go dig up an ancient text that says Jesus hated the color purple or something. It was 2000 years ago. The only message that could have possibly survived that long without being tainted by man's manipulation is the one and only true message, to love one another. You're welcome to disagree and live YOUR life to the beliefs of which you hold dear in your interpretation of Christianity. That's part of living. If everyone agreed, we'd already be in heaven. I believe in God's eyes, we are all equal, and passing laws of man that remove equality is a disappointment to him. Thankfully, every time man has tried to stray from that path, God has slowly nudged us back. Every barrier man has set up to preserve inequality has been knocked down and Gay Marriage is the last barrier.

Deuteronomy 14:9-10 says you shouldn't eat shrimp, so why aren't we crusading against shrimp cocktails?

Your def right about one thing, we do need to love each other.

Furry Mark — Ooh. Looks like I hurt someone's poor widdle sensibilities!

Never seen anyone treated other than great inside one of their packed restaurants. Apparently freedom of speech only applies to certain groups.

Hmmmmm.. Shrimp does carry its poop down its back. That is pretty gross. Moses also said not to eat pig. Shell fish allergies and H1N1, could be a sign from above.

If liking bacon is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

Eric, Im with you on this, we have to pick and choose our battles, thats a part of growing up. And bacon is one Im willing to fight for, my mom raised me on ham and egg sandwichs, and if it was good enough for her, its good enough for me.

Ha ha ha ha….you're "funny" elmiller. Oh wait, no you're not. Sorry.

Its ok for some folks to express what they like or believe in. But don't you say you don't like it because then they will come after you. I agree freedom of speech only applies to certian people!

Jeremiah, you are right that the sin of homosexuality is put right along side other sins the Bible mentions, but your combination theory lacks support. What you seem to be saying is that a person would have to a fornicator, an idolitor, an adulterer, a gay, a thief, covetous, a drunk, a reviler, and an extortioner before they could be considered to have done enough to have gone against biblical teaching. Perhaps a few people do all those things in their lifetime, but that would take a lot of effort. And yet, 1 Corinthians 6:11 says, "And such were some of you," as if Paul is saying that he knew they had once been doing these things, but they had given them up. A better understanding is that each of these things are wrong in and of themselves. Is adultery worse than extortion? Is homosexuality worse than being drunk? I don't know of anywhere in the Bible that it says, but what it does say is that the people who have a lifestyle of any of these things will not be going to heaven.

Oh Timothy…..embrace us because we're not going anywhere. Who cares if there is a heaven!! Live for today, dude. What if you did all this ass kissing just to become worm food???

Oh Timothy…..embrace us because we're not going anywhere. Who cares if there is a heaven!! Live for today, dude. What if you did all this ass kissing just to become worm food???

So, you're saying it's OK for Chick-Fil-A to state their opinion but it's not OK for Henson to do the same.
Where in the Bible does it sat that being gay is a sin? Is it the same place that says you can't touch pork David? Just like your Mommy did? Hmmmm, do you wish the same fate for her as you do me. Or are you a hypocrite who picks and chooses what is and what isn't sin?

When you stand before God, and you will stand before Him, it will be to late……..I do feel sorry for you and will pray for you……may God bless you.

HA HA HA HA HA HA……Burger King (Bk)…..just tell me exactly how you know people will "stand before Him." Do you know people that already have? Did they send you a letter after they did? Any video footage? Anything? Hello? Anything?? Exactly. Please save your prayers for yourself.

Bk Sharkespeare – I will say my wishes later that you will learn how to use the correct words in your comments. Bless your heart.

Both of you are two very sad, sad individuals. You will discover, there will be no atheists in hell. May God deal with your hearts.

Does that mean that Jim Henson was gay too?

"…there will be no atheists in hell." ???? Will they be up there with you then?? I think you're confused on your stance, or maybe you don't really have a stance…. Hmmmmm…….. Very interesting in a non-interesting way.

Bk Sharkespeare ….and the last time I checked, I was only one person.

Hey Brad, you have that Lost Soul mentality I find it hard to pay attention to, but God wants me to love you so Ill set you straight. Henson is doing more than stating an opinion, (either way it shows that thje company is lacking). Also,
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
Also Ive never wished for a fate for you, good or bad, don't spread lies. Because Im not a biggot nor a hypocrite, but I am a sinner. However I was saved and my name is in the book of life, but it doesnt mean I don't make mistakes nor that I can not repent when they happen.
But if we repent to Jesus and in our hearts and turn from Sin we will not find death but eternal life.

The Muppets are for kids and for the kid in all of us. We are not all marching to the same drummer. The last thing anyone should do is politicize those with different beliefs. What the Henson Company is doing is wrong. Even the ACLU stated Chik-fil-A has a right to a personal opinion. And that's all it is.

Taylor, Chick-Fil-A does not discriminate but is being punished for stating a personal belief. Will you give up driving and using gas because oil producing Arab nations persecute gays?

it goes beyond personal belief when that person uses his considerable wealth to donate millions to keep an entire segment of the population from having equal rights. that, my dear, is hatred. he has all the right in the world to his opinion, he does not have the right to try to keep me from being an equal citizen with equal rights. PERIOD.

Toni AnnCarrillo he has also shown his integrity in its entirety by then turning around and claiming that the toys provided by the Henson company were being recalled due to 'safety issues', not because he's a bigot whom they chose not to work with anymore. he's nothing more than a bigoted, duplicitous liar.

Can' t we all just get along? Different opinions and all.

>Can' t we all just get along?

…err….Rodney King?

ding, ding, ding, you're the winner of "who said this?"

So, I'm going to eat a burrito today at Taco Bell. I wonder what that says about me?

Timothy Fish again, i don't believe in the bible, or your religion, so i don't particularly care what is against it and what isn't. first of all, the bible was written by ignorant men, who sought to control the even more ignorant masses of the time. everyone tells me it's the story of jesus, and the word of god, but nobody can explain to me why it took over 300 years after jesus' death for it to be written. the christian religion is, at heart, nothing more than stolen bits and pieces from all the religions that came before it. in history, how many civilizations had risen and fallen before there was any mention of this god or of jesus? lots, because he wasn't invented yet. the modern christian religion and the bible was born when constantine used it as a political move to consolidate his power, and toward that end subscripted the council of nicea to gather writings of the day, decide which ones were 'holy' and put them in a book. these men are who decided what was 'godly' and what wasn't. and since that time, it has been translated, and retranslated, and retranslated, to be the longest running game of 'telephone' in the history of the world. history teaches us that your religion was made by men. so when people like you want to hold this up to me as some kind of ultimate 'law' as an excuse for their bigotry, i just laugh. so there were bigots then like there are today. also, answer me this: if your religion is so against gay people, then why did they used to sanction the marriage of gays? why didn't that particular writing get into the bible?

"Boswell's book, The Marriage of Likeness: Same Sex Unions in Pre- Modern Europe, lists in detail some same sex union ceremonies found in ancient church liturgical documents. One Greek 13th century "Order for Solemnisation of Same Sex Union" having invoked St Serge and St Bacchus, called on God to "vouchsafe unto these thy servants [N and N] grace to love one another and to abide unhated and not a cause of scandal all the days of their lives, with the help of the Holy Mother of God and all thy saints." The ceremony concludes: "And they shall kiss the Holy Gospel and each other, and it shall be concluded."

Another 14th century Serbian Slavonic "Office of Same Sex Union", uniting two men or two women, had the couple having their right hands laid on the Gospel while having a cross placed in their left hands. Having kissed the Gospel, the couple were then required to kiss each other, after which the priest, having raised up the Eucharist, would give them both communion.

Boswell found records of same-sex unions in such diverse archives as those in the Vatican, in St Petersburg, in Paris, Istanbul, and in Sinai, covering a period from the 8th to the 18th centuries. Nor is he the first to make such a discovery. The Dominican Jacques Goar (1601-1653) includes such ceremonies in a printed collection of Greek prayer books."

Bk Sharkespeare way to judge folks there buddy, deciding they are very sad individuals. how christian. perhaps you should worry more about how you will be judged and less about others?

having an opinion is one thing. donating millions of dollars to hate groups to ensure the continued segregation of equality is another. and it's not just us, sweetie. he's also in several lawsuits for firing women so they can be nothing more than subservient 'stay at home' moms. maybe you're ok with letting decades of feminism and gay rights progress get washed down the toilet, but for me, just saying 'can we all get along' doesn't cut it.

"considering you're the only ones attacking people" — right after you call us 'lost bottom feeders'…fucking hypocrite.

David Carpenter fine keep what you want how you want, but keep it to yourself. it doesn't give you the right to trample on another human beings rights. what is sacred is a matter of opinion. the difference is, i'm not out spending millions of dollars or using a company to keep you from your rights as a human being. if this is what you call 'family values' they you are one seriously twisted individual, and i guess too ignorant to stop and think that part of your family may include gay people. but i guess since you're so juvenile that they make you puke, you'd most likely shun them, your own flesh and blood. The only pathetic thing i see here is your rant above

WRONG. they donate millions of dollars to hate groups who have suggested jailing gays and lesbians, or even exporting them from the country. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-badash/chick-fil-a-5-reasons-it-isnt-what-you-think_b_1725237.html

Here we go again, Someone will not just read a comment they have to try and get you to see it their way, Wich is what started this crap to start with. Keep posting crack head!

What the hell!I agree…time to get off of that and move on to better things.

Timothy!There are alot of supporters and chick Fa La will be just fine without them!

ONCE AGAIN…it ceases to be just an opinion when MILLIONS of dollars are poured into hate groups that would like to see gays and lesbians jailed or exported from the country. An OPINION is a thought that someone has about someone or something, but when, in the interest of that opinion, one ACTS to affect change, then it CEASES to be an opinion, and in this particular case, becomes a hate act aimed at keeping a HUGE segment of the population from equal rights. And Cathy showed exactly what kind of person he was when he then turned around, and LIED to the american public by saying the Henson products were being recalled due to SAFETY ISSUES and not because they chose not to do business with a bigoted company such as ChickFilA. By the way, one of his OPINIONS that you are so wanting to stand up for is that all women should be is 'stay at home mothers', presumably to be subservient to their men. so unless you like being barefoot and pregnant and making 'sammiches' for the rest of your days, i would suggest you NOT support someone who is clearly a misogynistic, patriarchal, religion addled ass such as this.

Corinthians is written by Paul, while visiting the city of Corinth in Greece around 56 AD. Keep in mind, Corinth was DESTORYED by the Romans only a mere 200 years earlier. Add to the fact that despite being conquered by the Romans, Greek culture (including homosexuality) was still quite independent, hence why the Eastern Roman Empire was more Greek than Roman. It could be the combination of the deplorable conditions left by the Romans and the Greek culture (paganism and homosexuality) that Paul tried to convince the Corinthians that only through his rules would they reach immortality. Also have to keep in mind that at the time, he was trying to sell himself. The Greek and Roman pagan temples were his competition. Another thing is that Christianity wasn't very popular in Greece until about 250 years later when Constantine the Great removed the penalties against Christians.

Tina Martin – Sad, sad little woman. When your daughter comes out as a lesbian, I hope you don't disown her.

I would never disown my daughter.This realy just between you and God.You better hope God don't disown you.I have no further comments.Gods people will see the truth and I hope you will find it one day.You don't know the truth because you don't believe.If you believed you would find it.God is always merciful and just to all that seek his name for we all fall short.Think about how if you changed your mind about what you believed and the fact that your rights were being atacked.

I thought you didn't have more comments?
