I know they are a good company and all but I avoid Chick Fil A if at all possible. You see, I'm somewhat of an English purist. What they do on pretty much all of their advertising/billboards to me is dumbing down society. Intentional misspellings galore (Eat Mor Chikin). Even the name of the company is like that. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I know their chicken is supposed to be better quality blah blah blah...

I'm sure I'm the only one in the world who thinks that way so just ignore me.

I have built a couple of locations, but have never ate there, too busy working elsewhere.

Will make it a point to patronize in the future.

In the middle 80s, I was a member of Spirit of Atlanta Drum & Bugle Corps, and we did a show at Chick-Fil-A Headquarters. Fun gig.

and EVERY ONE sided with the homosexuals. A few were saying how bad it was to have to look at Bible verses on the wall of the restrooms at Chick Fil-A.

Cheer up--the vast multitude of the righteous in heaven and on earth who align with the Word of the Almighty will never be moved no matter how many choose the evil side either willfully or by blind deceptions.

Psalm 1

King James Version (KJV)

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

I understand.

If it makes you feel any better, my English teacher, Mrs Tweet, said the same thing back in 1963.

It’s been going on a long time.

And if there's no store nearby, there's always another way to support Chick-fil-A.

Text that I think you all will appreciate:

Cathy is a devout Southern Baptist, and his company's mission statement reflects his convictions -- "To glorify God by being a faithful steward to all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A."



One way this is shown to the public is Chick-fil-A's well known closed-on-Sundays policy


Cathy is also a Sunday School teacher, Cathy is also a Sunday School teacher, and has been doing it for more than 50 years

I consider myself quiet literate and actually hold writing and English lit degrees, so in general I share your concern.

That said, I do not hold cows to the same spelling standards as humans and, therefore, happily eat Chick-Fil-A with a clear conscience.

S Truett Cathy, “It’s Better to Build Boys Than Mend Men”

A definite part of my high school baseball coaching philosophy.

Chick-Fil-A for dinner tomorrow!

Click on the link — lots of pictures of him — even one teaching the Sunday School class.

Yes, you are queer. I mean in the old sense: peculiar.

I wish that they had more low-carb selections.
I can only eat so many salads, and most of the rest is breaded. Otherwise, I'd eat there more often.

I'll try the spicy chicken sandwich tomorrow. I can ignore the carbs for a special occasion.
