Now Rev. Billy Graham Has Released A Statement In Support Of Chick-A-Fil
Business Insider ^ | 07/26/2012 | Kim Bhasin

The Chick-fil-A saga continues.

It all started when president and COO Dan Cathy made statements against gay marriage. and now, things have ramped up into a national debate.

Rev. Billy Graham, the legendary evangelical minister, has now entered the fray, coming to the aid of Chick-fil-A.

The polarizing 93-year-old is against gay marriage, and earlier this year, he publicly endorsed a constitutional amendment to ban it in North Carolina.

Graham has traditionally stayed away from "thorny social issues" for years, according to CNN, so this should raise some eyebrows.

Here's the statement from Graham:

“I want to express my support for my good friends Truett Cathy and his son Dan Cathy, and for their strong stand for the Christian faith. I’ve known their family for many years and have watched them grow Chick-fil-A into one of the best businesses in America while never compromising their values. Chick-fil-A serves each of its customers with excellence, and treats everyone like a neighbor. It’s easy to see why Chick-fil-A has become so popular across America.

"Each generation faces different issues and challenges, but our standard must always be measured by God’s word. I appreciate the Cathy family’s public support for God’s definition of marriage.

God bless the reverend Billy Graham for standing up for the world of God. And, to hell with the radical sodomites that are trying to destroy the moral fiber of this country.

TYPO. I can’t change the title. It is Chick-Fil-A, you should know them and their saga.

C’mon, I’m only human. If you read the news, you know the above is a typo.

Stick to the news, not ridiculing my mistake.

That’s all fine and good, but the title references a release about some sort of thing called Chick-A-Fil. The story is about a release regarding Chick-Fil-A. I’m just trying to figure out what Chick-A-Fil is.

Perhaps it’s the company that figured out how to inject the lighter fluid into chickens for McDonalds’ McNuggets.

If it’s a typo, this whole thing is a repost: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2911107/posts

If it’s not a typo, then I want to know what Chick-A-Fil is.

Some of you people need to take a chill-pill.

I am sure that none of you have ever posted any thing here and no matter how many times you proof read it once you hit send it's POSTED!

To be honest I have been on many different forums and I find this place a bit a pain in the but to start a new topic.

I will admit that I am not an HTML genius but I know enough to get me in trouble.

Now go ahead and slam me.

I’m posting this via remote from a Chick-Fil-A, actually (mmm, club sandwich). I want to know whether this is a duplicate post or if there is some organization named Chick-A-Fil I should be looking into.

RE; If it’s not a typo, then I want to know what Chick-A-Fil is.

1) I already said it was a typo.

2) if it was a repost, then why bother coming to this thread? Just ignore it and let it die.

Instead of the classic pron sound track of “boom-chick-a-wow-wow” it’s “boom-chick-a-fil-wow,” I suppose.

If it is a typo, you could request that the admins and moderators correct it. Simply hit the “Report Abuse” button on your own post above (next to the ‘1’ below the article) and type in something like “Ooops, mistyped the title - would some admin or moderator please fix this for me? Thanks.”

They’re usually happy to do that and it saves you from much ridicule. Especially since the rules of the board say that unless it doesn’t fit, the title must match the title of the cited article.
