Viral Chick-fil-A Picture Claims Christians Don’t

Viral Chick-fil-A Picture Claims Christians Don’t 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.

Just tell that to our small (about 100 peeps) evangelical church meeting that distribute, and help feed, for a week, food for 40-50 FAMILIES, (that do not attend our church, but are invited to) EVERY WEEK.

Like clockwork.

"And they'll know we are Christians
By our love, by our love,
Yes, they'll know we are Christians
By our love."

The media and the left are such garbage.....

Did they actually take a poll or are they just ASSuming that only Christians value free speech?

So heathens are free speech advocates as well. I suspected as much.

Do these people not realize that they shine a liar light on themselves when they make asinine assertions like this, and now everything they say is taken with a grain of salt?

Lies, and the lying liars who tell them, indeed.

The heathens were representin... This has absolutely NOTHING to do with Christianity. It has to do with tolerance, and to a lesser degree Free Speech..
