I know some people just found out recently that they hate gays and are massively fundamentalist Christian, but this has been kind of there thing for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Still, whenever I am at a mall and they have someone outside the store giving out free samples, I always make a point to get one. I do this for a lot of reasons. First, even though I am an apostate to Judaism, I still have enough Jew in me that I can\u2019t pass up something that\u2019s free. As Eric Cartman from South Park put it my, \u201cJew blood won\u2019t allow it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anti-semetic stereotypes aside, I do love fast food and Chick-Fi-A\u2019s chicken isn\u2019t bad. I know some people love it, but I just think it is pretty good. Good enough to eat for free, but not good enough to over-look their hateful beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings me to my final reason for taking their free samples; it costs them money! I won\u2019t give them a dime, but I will take anything they will give me knowing that it costs them at least a few cents. That\u2019s money not donated to Christian hate groups.<\/p>\n<p>Has Chick-Fi-A been in the news again? Why am I talking about this today? Well, yesterday, my family and I went to a local town festival and one of the many sponsors was Chick-Fi-A. They were handing out free sandwiches so I made sure to grab one. They also handed out free coupon cards.<\/p>\n<p>This morning, I just so happened to be driving near a Chick-Fi-A and I had that free coupon card in my pocket. So I went to their drive-throw for the first time and ordered my free food. The lady who took my order was very nice and when I asked her what sauces they had she rattled off the list with a smile. I did get the impression that she was surprised that I didn\u2019t know what sauces they had and part of me was very tempted to explain that I don\u2019t hate gays, so I don\u2019t usually go to Chick-Fi-A. But that might have been a bit mean and too Christian of me. So I just decided to write this blog post while eating my free Chick-Fi-A chicken and dipping it in the multiple sauces I asked for which also costs them a little bit of money. Hate tastes good when it is served up with poetic justice.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/2013\/07\/24\/religious-segregation-starts-early\/\" target=\"_blank\">Religious Segregation Starts Early<\/a> (skepticink.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/klein-responds-to-atheists-over-time-magazine-article-still-doesn-t-apologize?cid=rss\" target=\"_blank\">Klein responds to atheists over Time Magazine article; still doesn&#8217;t apologize<\/a> (examiner.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/2013\/07\/30\/dear-christians-have-you-heard-the-harsh-reality\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dear Christians: Have You Heard The Harsh Reality?<\/a> (skepticink.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/2013\/08\/05\/searching-for-the-historical-hercules\/\" target=\"_blank\">Searching For The Historical Hercules<\/a> (skepticink.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;height: 15px\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none;float: right\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=a66fc329-e2c8-424d-91b0-83a1d35aab9f\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since at least 1998, I have been boycotting Chick-Fi-A.
