Neon Genesis Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I was watching the local news earlier today when I saw that our local Hardee's restaurant was going to host gospel singing tonight. What the fuck is up with that? I used to think that fast food restaurants were the last safe haven that I had from religion around the bible belt, but now it seems Christians want to take over our food, too. I mean, seriously, who in the hell honestly goes to fast food restaurants to hear praises to Jebus? Don't these addicts get enough of that from church? This wouldn't piss me off nearly as much if it wasn't for the double standard that you know if a group of atheists got together and started singing anti-Christian rock songs at a local Mcdonald's, all the Christians everywhere would be calling for them to be burned at the stake. This may be a possibly dumb question, but are fast food chains like Hardee's allowed to endorse religion or are only private businesses allowed to endorse religion? And would hosting a gospel singing count as an endorsement? Someone remind me never to go to Hardee's or at least not at night and remind never to work at a Hardee's restaurant.

cvd26 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 That is crazy! Seriously people cannot get enough huh? Sometimes I want to leave this country for a while and go somewhere where religion is not so in your face. FYI....Chick Fil-A is also a SUPER Christian chain. They play Christian music inside and are closed on the sabbath. Last time we ate at one I realized that worship music was playing over the speakers....now that would make me lose my appetite.

mwc Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 FYI....Chick Fil-A is also a SUPER Christian chain. They play Christian music inside and are closed on the sabbath. Never noticed the music but it's funny they're closed on Sunday isn't it? They say it's so their employee's can be with family and some other crap but the founder seemed to be some religious type nut when you read between the lines. I didn't think the food was all that great so I wasn't that upset...I just went to all the other OPEN restaurants (too bad for them losing my business). mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 So Neon, I guess you don't know about the In & Out burger joint? Turn the soda cup upside down and look for the magical John 3:16. Or, does anyone watch American Idol here? Well, it's clear that last weeks Dolly Parton theme was an attempt of evangelizing the Jesus cult to Americans.

par4dcourse Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I agree Hans. The wife is hooked on idol and I usually don't mind so much. Last week, I thought a revival was going to break out, between Dolly and the Clark bros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week, I thought a revival was going to break out, between Dolly and the Clark bros. What was the song the Clark's sang again? Was it "This little light of mine?" All I can remember was that it was beyond stupid. One of all those old songs, in new arrangement, but still very silly and hence quite stupid. Or Dolly's Jesus and gravity... I almost puked... so frigging mind-numbing... Please don't tell me they can't use the media to promote their religion, considering I haven't heard anyone even mentioning the word "atheist" (unless as a derogative) in a long time...

studiorat Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 That's why I usually go to a tavern for burgers. The food is normally better, and most tavs in my town are decidedly NON-JEWSUS. Hardees does have good nuggets, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobbler Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 It's those goddamned Dominionist christians trying to take over the world. First they will get our burgers, then our tacos! :angry: Seriously though, is it me or does it seem like the U.S. is getting more and more jesus crazy? Moreso it seems after my deconversion! Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive to the mind virus. I also watched the Idol show with Dolly. I thought they were going to have an altar call. I bet Simon is an atheist. You could tell he was very uncomfortable. Can't blame him, I would have been puking on Paula! One more tune for the newly created christian burger genre: Bless the burger lord, oh my soul, and all the onions and ketchup, bless his greasy name!

Fweethawt Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 This is old news... I don't know what issue it was. Nor do I remember how long ago it was. But I remember reading a National Geographic magazine with an article near the back that showed a few "old folks" (I think it was a guy and two ladies), with a keyboard and singing gospel tunes at a McDonald's. This, too, took place somewhere in the bible-belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck is up with that? It's all about the money $$, no doubt. The economy is slow, so what better way to boost sales than to pimp Jebus out to bring in a bunch of Christians. If Jesus is good for nothing else, Christians can at least whore him out to increase their profits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
