Its asinine to close down on Sunday. The Sabbath is on Saturday.
And it is asinine to say that just because you want to eat somewhere on Sunday.

There are many reasons why Sunday is important to Christians, try researching a little..

The significance of the first day of the week (Sunday) for Christians

Anyway.. like others, I may not have agree'd with everything he believed in, but I still would not trample his name and I do respect him. RIP.

I've studied Christianity.

I was joking about only wanting to eat there on Sunday. The issue is, they shut down on Sunday as the day of rest, per the bible. The day of rest, is on Saturday, at the end of the week

Except for the fact that big chains tend to move into neighborhoods and corner the market, preventing the locals from opening their own businesses while offering them jobs as poorly paid employees subservient to the corporate level.

RIP. He seems like a good guy. I admire his principles. Always good to when a business owner cares about something besides money. I don't eat fast food often, but I'll go out of my way to eat at Chic-Fil-A. I like Chic-Fil-A for closing on Sundays. It's a principled stand that benefits the lowest level of workers and nets the company no financial gain. There far too little of that these days.

I know, I don't happen to agree with the family's opinions that gay people are pedophiles, are mentally ill, are a danger to children, want to 'recruit' children, can be 'cured', and shouldn't have the same rights and legal protections as straight people. I do agree they had a right to fund millions of dollars to anti-gay groups that promote those messages.

Just a little difference of opinion right?

R.I.P

So do you feel the same way about Burger King for its "gay pride" Whopper wrapper?

Or McDonald's black pride website: Home :: 365black.com

Chick-fil-A use to offer a counter to the Burger King gay pride Whopper by funding anti-gay hate groups. Maybe Chick-fia-A can respond to McDonald's website by funding the KKK or launching a White Supremacy website.
