No More Big Mac's For Me!!! Yes? or No?

My dad put these articles in the bulletin this past Sunday.. After reading it me and one of my sibling had a disagreement on whether you should go to McDs or not.. Please read the articles and let me know what you think...




American Family Association, 9/3/08 reports: “In January, McDonald’s paid for travel and accommodations for 56 employees to attend the ‘Pioneer Summit’ in San Diego. The purpose of the meeting was to develop a plan to promote the gay agenda within the company. Those attending were thrilled that McDonald’s showed such support for their agenda.” It is sad that another corporate titan has joined the ‘promote homosexuality’ bunch. Seeing the Golden Arches ahead is suddenly dimmed when made aware of supporting the ‘gay agenda.’ Many missionary children, hardly old enough to understand, may hear they parents say, “We can’t support them any longer.” It costs to be a Christian...but the reward is too great to ignore. (1 Cor. 15:58)



The Golden Arches — McDonald’s donated $20,000 to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce in exchange for membership and a seat on the group’s board of directors. The NGLCC lobbies Congress in support of same-sex marriage. ( American Family Asso., 7/10/08) Donald Wildmon of AFA, has pointed out the strong stand the golden arches’ food chain has taken in promoting same-sex marriage. Standing for anything God and the Bible are against is not a worthy dining area. Please, don’t use Matt. 9:11–13 against this stand. Jesus was not endorsing sin. He was against the sin and after the sinner, not joining them or approving their lifestyle.



More On McDonalds — Throwing out any pretense of being neutral in the culture war, McDonald’s has taken up the rhetoric of gay activists, suggesting those who oppose same-sex marriage (SSM) are motivated by hate. (AFA, 7/10/08) The article quoted Bill Whitman, McDonalds’ spokesman as saying, “...hatred has no place in our culture.” ”The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.” (Prov. 8:13) The manner in which the Lord dealt with Sodom & Gomorrah clearly expressed His hatred of homosexuality. God also hates arrogance and fraud. This is the primary reason so many want God’s truth to be silenced in America. To fear the Lord is to hate evil!



I personally think Christians shouldn't go there now... But its hard to know what to do... There is the argument that there are other companies out there that support the same cause and we don't boycott them.. I know that there are other companies out there that support the Gay and Lesbian cause. I haven't really researched out which companies do or don't... So ya I may still be going to places that support it.... It just seems like McDs has pushed the issue and have done more to support it then most companies... And by suggesting that those that oppose it are motivated by hate, is really something that's scary for Christians... So if you give a dollar to McDs are you supporting the gay cause?? Or should Christians go to McDs more now so that we can try to be a witness to them?? Or even should we watch good movies gay people play in or listen to good music that gay people have produced?? Is that supporting it too?? So ya I don't have all the answers.... If you have an opinion on this please leave a comment and let me know what you think...
