![]() As for Chick-Fil-A being "Bible thumpers", they are not. My younger son loves Chick-Fil-A. We have been getting chicken sandwiches just about twice a week for years now, and no one has ever asked me to talk about Jesus. I actually appreciate what they do, closing on Sundays. Mr. Cathy, by all accounts, was a good man, who cared about people and his employees, so much that he decided to close his restaurants on Sunday to allow his employees to attend church and be with their families. I may be an atheist heathen, but I admire that. |

They close on Sundays for religious reasons as much as family values. They have also openly criticized people whose "values" don't meet their political, social, and religious ideals. If they want to make a statement about their values and sacrifice that much capitol I do however respect that. I just think it's dumb. If they care so much give the extra hours to the single moms and dads who don't suck up welfare and can really use the money. Or donate it. These social, religious, and family value thing is all part of their marketing strategy. Nothing more |

Re: And the hits just keep on coming for Atlanta
So in order to respect something you need to agree with it? Wow.
