Chik-Fil-A Gay Fallout

[happydolphin]

@Topic. The thing I actually wanted to say is that people have a right to a society that fits their vision for the world, and as such people have a right to want a country with or without marriage of same-sex couples. Ultimately this does cause an exception case of the right of one encroaches on the rights of another. However, in the BIG PICTURE, there is no reason why the LGBT community should be denied any right, even marriage if they so desire it. However, the person of religious inclination has the right to voice their desire for their society, and so the people opposing Chick-Fil-A are just as vile as those opposing Oreo. Let each man voice his vision for his society, that's honesty, that's fairness, that's democracy. imho.

Don't you know that Philemon's slave Onesimus was a christian convert? Christianity never abolished slavery, since slavery does not mean unequal as a human being. You are not measured by God by your civil status.

Nevertheless, food for thought: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistle_to_Philemon

Christianity is neither for or against slavery, but it certainly favors freedom according to the book of Philemon.

Nice copy-paste bro, E for Effort.

Anyways, you prove my point: "Christianity is neither for nor against slavery, but it certainly favors freedom according to the book of Philemon."

I'll add to that, as you pointed out, that the golden rule ultimately favors freedom. There again, it is still neither actively pro-manumit nor anti-manumit. It is mildly and passively pro manumit, otherwise the book of Philemon would have looked much different.
