I have tried about three times, trying to put my feelings into words. I am a very passionate person. When someone doesn't agree with my beliefs, I get kind of hurt and it takes me a moment to fully grasp that it's okay that they don't agree. That's one thing I really enjoy about this world. I like that a lot of people don't agree. It opens up conversations. Sometimes that isn't so cool, but I rather enjoy people with other opinions. I like hearing other's opinions.
One of the hot topics right is Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-Fil-A, and what his beliefs are. He is a firm believer in Sunday being a Holy Day, a marriage between a man and a woman, and having biblical beliefs. That's what he was raised in and that is what he raised his children to believe. He was asked questions about his beliefs recently and he answered them the way an Christian man would: backed by biblical standards and verses. As soon as Mr. Cathy stated his beliefs, he was deemed a hater. I honestly don't think that's what it is at all. He was raised to believe in Christian standards, so he is going to answer the way he thinks is right.
I am beyond appalled at all the hate that has been put on web, mostly by Christian networks and what-not. I am so sad at how Christians are putting themselves out there. As Christians, we should be the last to judge and the quickest to listen and lend a helping hand. I am tired of the hypocrisy that is going around. Christian's are supposed to be about love, not hate.
I wish I could say sorry on behalf of every Christian out there, but honestly, I don't think most of them see what they are saying/doing is wrong. That's the way they were brought up. I just wish everyone was more considerate of everyone else's feelings and could care just a little bit less. What if Truett Cathy's beliefs are different from yours? That shouldn't matter. You should be thanking God that you have this awesome thing called freewill.
