By their fruits you shall know them.
This simple test tells us a lot about all the venom and hatred spewed out in the last few days against the CEO of Chick-fil-e and many of those who workl for him.

I am not even going to get into the the question which led him to answer honestly what he believed. I was reminded of him when reading how the Pharisees questioned Jesus in order to entrap Him. Apparently he should have lied to satisfy his critics. Alternatively they do not accept that in this country religious freedom is protected by the constitution, at least until now. Perhaps our bishops were not so far off the mark in warning us recently that this freedom was threatened.

But an issue which was ostensibly about the right to love your neighbour even when they are of the same sex as yourself sure produced a lot of hatred without regard for sex.

I apologize to the many gays and lesbians I know and respect who I feel are being used and manipulated for the agendas of those who could not care less about their human rights and dignity.
