Founder of Chick-Fil-A an Inspiration

On September 8 S. Truett Cathy, the founder of the restaurant chain Chick-fil-a passed away. He was a very successful man, and if you ate at his delicious restaurant you would know that, but some people don’t appreciate his success as much as others. Before Cathy died a lot of people used to admire him as a Christian man, he would close all of his restaurants on Sundays so that his workers could spend time with their families, but he also called it a silent witness to God because people would ask why it was closed and they would be told it was the Sabbath or that it gave the employees a chance to go to church. People used to admire that, about how he was open about it his faith. The company gave millions of dollars opposing same sex marriage and trying to extend marriage being between a man and a woman, Cathy did this out of his beliefs, he didn’t discriminate against gay or lesbian people, he only proclaimed his belief and did what he could to try and enforce the law of marriage between a man and a woman. Well the homosexual community was not a fan of what he was doing, they would boycott and campaign to keep chick-fil-a restaurant chains out of their cities because Cathy didn’t agree with their lifestyle. The thing that really bugs me about this tragic loss is how fake and hypocritical people are. One minute they are praising him for proclaiming his faith and being a good Christian example, and standing up for what’s not right and then after he is gone everyone is talking bad about him saying how he discriminated against gay people. The thing is you can ask almost anybody who knew him, and even people who didn’t know him, they all looked at him and saw Christ in him. Even though everybody falls short from the glory of God, I do not think Cathy is one to discriminate, I think he was just standing up for what he believes in, and if that’s wrong, isn’t it wrong for gay people to stand up for what they believe in and give money and campaign toward same sex marriage? I think people these days tend to just tell people what they want to hear and not speak their minds, although speaking your mind can sometimes not be the best idea, to me it’s better than lying to someone and being fake. Our society has fallen into a routine of just being a people pleaser and not standing up for what they think is right and what is wrong. I believe Christians do this a lot for God tells us to be in this world and not of it, but thanks to our sinful nature and our decisions we disobey God completely and we join the world in their sinful activities. I think Cathy was right for standing up for his beliefs and I stand behind that statement, he was an inspiration, a great example and a man of God, he will be missed.
