(Probably) The most political post I'll write.

OK so I know my small opinion is not going to matter to very many people (if anyone), but I feel like I need to get this off my chest. So here goes: I find The Chick fil a controversy laughable. There, I said it.

At the end of the day, the First Amendment is there so that these situations can be brought up. And thank God for that. People have the right to say what they want despite whatever may come of it. 

 Despite the fact that I know that my opinion is going to be soon forgotten, I just want to say that I don't care what a person's sexuality is. I don't think it's fair to judge someone for something that's so deeply a part of them, it unchangeable. And by the same token, judging someone for who they are not only shows ignorance, but allows you to be judged as well. To me, the way I live my life and the decisions I make are no more anyone's business than it's my business who people want to marry or spend their spare time with in general. As far as I'm concerned, as long as you're a contributing member of society who isn't endangering anyone (namely small children), you could marry a rock if it's what you want. 

I grew up in Catholic school so I was taught the exact opposite of what I actually believe on most things. I was taught to believe in things that quite frankly, embarrass me today. Ignorance may be bliss but it's also a hindrance worse than blindness. I'm sorry if this offends anyone but it's how I feel. I'm not bashing anyone for their beliefs, I'm just saying there are always going to be people that do and say and believe things that you disagree with, it's part of life.

It's 2012 and people are getting upset because a Southern Baptist fast food chain that isn't even open on Sundays, shared a very predictable view on a controversial issue. They're probably pro-life too. I know, take a moment to get over your shock. It's too bad more CEOs don't come out and share their opinions so people can see the truth that obviously escapes them in their daily lives.

Despite my very strict and traditional upbringing, I haven't been to church in years, and I think the only thing that could make me go back is a funeral. I really don't think going to church makes you a good Christian, or even a good person. I stopped going because I had to separate myself from everything I wasn't anymore. I went to public school and felt my eyes open to the world around me and never wanted to live in a haze again. I don't consider myself to be a good person or a bad person for the things I've done or the decisions I've made. But I never felt closer to God or my faith (or whatever you want to call it) than when I was free to make my own decisions about it instead of having them shoved down my throat. 

If people want to boycott Chick fil a for being honest about their beliefs (something that is a tribute to their rights), that's their right as well and their business. But the judgement needs to stop. It's what's caused this problem from the beginning. You're telling me that you're mad at Chick-fil-a for expressing their views because it rivals yours? Seriously? It's just a never ending cycle of hypocrisy and judgement. At some point something's gotta give or we'll be in this same old barbaric trap forever.
