Chik-fil-A sells out to Satan.

Chik-fil-A sells out to Satan.

At least Satan wouldn't use heat lamps.

Chick-Fil-A hates Christians!
According to Ted Cruz.

Seems like a pretty lame critique, but I hope that the evangelical backlash is intense. Let it be another lesson to everyone that the evangelical right is pure poison and no one should get into bed with them.

Do people here research every company they do business with?

Ever buy anything made in China? Then there's a good chance you "support" slavery, including children, and many other human rights abuses.

Oh you don't ask? You just won't go to this restaurant because you happen to know where they donate their money because it was in the news. The other businesses - well you just don't have time to look them all up.

I guess it isn't actually that important to you is it? It's only important when other people know too and they see you go in.

The guy that owns the bar, the woman who runs the liquor store, the guy who fixes your call, all upstanding citizens who think just like you do, right?

No, you just don't ask. You didn't ask at Chik-Fil-A either. You were told by CNN.

Nobody is perfect (agrees with everything you think). But like any good religious follower you will pick and choose what really matters to you and ignore whatever would make your life too inconvenient.

What if you're in a strange town and hungry? Are you going to ask around and find out what restaurants support which causes? You should if you care so much.

Who here likes In-N-Out burger (not me)? Ever see those religious phrases printed on the bottom of their cups?

Better run! Someone might see you go in, which is what you really care about. It's okay because In-N-Out may not like you either if they knew more about you.

My point: I just think people are silly and too full of themselves.

Pretty much my take on it all.

If you knew the ins and outs of every person who ever served you food in a restaurant, cafe or shop, you'd probably be boycotting shops left and right. If people want to boycott this sort of thing, that's up to them, but if I'm hungry on the high street then I don't really give a toss if it's Bill Cosby selling sandwiches at Subway, I'm getting a chicken and bacon ranch and I'm going to enjoy it in a similar fashion as I would if it had been served to me by a nude Liv Tyler.
