Viral Chick-fil-A Picture Claims Christians Don’t Feed the Poor — But We Have Proof to the Contrary (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/viral-chick-fil-a-picture-claims-christians-dont-feed-the-poor-but-we-have-proof-to-the-contrary/)
This week, hundreds of thousands of Americans rallied to support Chick-fil-A amidst a firestorm of controversy over the fast-food chain’s views on gay marriage. As Christians and free-speech advocates rose to defend the company’s right to stand in support of “traditional marriage,” some critics waged attacks on those lining up for the so-called Chick-fil-A buy-ins.
An image that was making its rounds on social media had a strong and condemning message for the mass number of Christians lining up at the restaurant.
“You’d never see that many Christians lined up to help at a food bank or homeless shelter,” it read. “And that’s something Jesus actually said to do.”
While it’s not immediately clear where the image originated, the aforementioned quote makes a plethora of assumptions — the first of which is that Bible-believing Christians are not overtly involved in feeding the poor and helping those in need. But reality paints a very different picture.
