Ever been somewhere that plays classical music? That’s all religious music.

You guys better be glad I'm not EviLore. I'd find some sort of way to embed Wonderful Christmas Time every time you clicked anything on this website.

Also this thread is giving me the giggles here at work.

 

[half a moon]

I need nuggets, fries, and bbq sauce stat

 

[Chmpocalypse]

There's so many more reasons to rag in Chick-fil-A than this. You should take a look at their business donations.

Every time you do, assholes gloat about eating there. They do it to hurt people intentionally.

Fuck them, I'll still say it - bigoted company, and if you eat there you knowingly and eagerly support bigotry.

 

[Nicolada]

Well this is just a new low.

 

[Knightmarre]

They have really good nuggets, they taste more like chicken than other fast food places.

[NESpowerhouse]

As long as it isn't Creed, then it's all good.

Don't need Scott Stapp infecting my ears whilst I enjoy waffle fries.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Next thread by the OP:

I'm on vacation in Egypt, and they keep playing "Muslim Music" on the streets! What gives guys?

 

[family_guy]

I'll take that over being 20th in line at the drivethough while there's next to no one waiting inside.

 

[RevenWolf]

If anyone's curious about good worship music, I would suggest checking out Hillsong United.

Adding to this I would recommend Flyleaf, which isn’t wholly worship music but they do have plenty of songs that are influenced by it.

I’m not American so I’ve never been to chic-a whatever, but from what I heard of their politics I really wouldn’t want to support them.

Though I will say I don’t really see the harm in playing worship music. I lived in a predominantly Muslim country for half my life and remember hearing the call to prayer song playing never bothering me at all.

 

[captive]

Who cares?


Though every chik fil a I've been in has been so crowded that it's so loud that u can't hear shit.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Chie STAHP.

NEVER.

 

[jfkgoblue]

Cookout plays fucking straight up gospel worship music so...

 

[YearoftheWooster]

The one at my CFA has its music only audible in the bathrooms, while other CFAs in my area have it audible at medium volume.

Christian here. Most Christian rock sucks lol, but there are some gems here and there. If at CFA, I'll go "hey, I recognize that! that's cool" for 2 seconds, and then continue eating my awesome chicken sandwich.

The highlight of my CFA was a bush shaped like a cow that's also a Pokemon Go gym.
Also, Chick-fil-A sauce is the bomb.

 

[Mr. X]

I hope we get some early 2000's Bebo Norman in there, shit's great

We need a thread about Christian music that actually holds up.

Kirk Franklin

 

[Strangelove77]

This offends my edgelord sensibilities. Just knowing that that occurs somewhere in the world, totally unrelated to me is making me upset.

 

[Van Bur3n]

That's why I only go through the drive through. You can't brainwash me, Chik-fil-A.

 

[ThisGuy]

That's how they get you.

Spoiler

/s obviously

Lol

 

[One Eyed Willy]

Well this is just a new low.

It's been this way for literally over a decade I think.

 

[RandomHopeInc]

Lol I've always known, a whole childhood of hearing the songs is why. Nothing wrong with it, especially if they're just instrumentals. Also I like the songs, anything other than a radio playing rap/pop/country is fine with me. I go to Chik fil a for serenity and great service.

 

[Atom Heart Mother]

? Surprised ?

They don’t even open on Sundays lol?

Seems pretty clear they are religious.

They don't open on Sundays actually due to the original founder not wanting to work on Sundays. But also being a Christian.

 

[kotor22]

Who cares my guy, i just want a sandwich

 

[One Eyed Willy]

They don't open on Sundays actually due to the original founder not wanting to work on Sundays. But also being a Christian.

They do it now so that their employees can have 1 day a week to be with their families and worship if they choose.

 

[Dead Prince]

Okay? I don't see how that is offensive

 

[Griss]

I'm an atheist and I love worship music. My most listened to radio station is fucking Haitian worship music in english and creole, lol. Shit is absolute dynamite. I have just enough french to understand the DJ, but you really don't need to. Wish I had some samples to post, shit goes from dancehall tracks about gangsters finding god to power ballads about jesus within the same 10 minute spell.

Also, Taize chanting is awesome to relax and chill out to.

Anyway, it's Chick-Fil-A, everyone know's what they're about. Doesn't bother me in the slightest - I could always eat elsewhere.

 

[JABEE]

Spiritual have influenced every popular music genre. Broaden your horizons.

I've wandered so aimless life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear savior in.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Have you guys seriously never heard gospel music before?

Educate yourself

[wesleyshark]

Not surprised, nor do I see an issue with it.

 

[Chuckl3s]

So does that mean a waffle fry is like taking Communion?

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Pretty sure that the manager chooses the music. It's not like Pope Chicken sends out gospel CDs for all of the stores.

 

[Eusis]

The majority of religious music I've heard makes it sounds like the singer wants to get into Jesus's pants but I'm sure there is good stuff out there

The best stuff is probably old (classical music anyone?), or maybe stuff not made by devout believers (or believers at all) so it's a theme rather than gushing. But I'd have to have more real exposure and I don't go out of my way for that, leaving either a random thing done by a band I follow or something from a game/anime being the thing I heard.

EDIT: Probably helps if that's not the only thing they do, actually. Do they play music solely to preach, or was their faith something they wanted to make a song of? Nevermind just using that as the song theme regardless of actual faith.

 

[Sweet Bellic]

Interesting, but it’s instrumental music, so whatever.

This.

Ever been somewhere that plays classical music? That’s all religious music.

Also this.

If there were lyrics, I would be annoyed... though not enough to deter me from enjoying a delicious chicken biscuit.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

Whats wrong with worship music? I guess I don't understand what this thread is trying to say.

it's like music from Drake, it's everywhere and trash

 

[kamineko]

Like Bach? What a classsy place

 

[Diablos]

I just feel bad when their employees are forced to say “it’s a great day at chick fil a”. What if you’re having a bad day!?

 

[Escape Goat]

The Christian agenda to convert unsuspecting eaters of quality chicken products.

 

[Diprosalic]

I just feel bad when their employees are forced to say “it’s a great day at chick fil a”. What if you’re having a bad day!?

They're forced to say that?

 

[Zelenogorsk]

I used to work at a McAlister's Deli and they would pump the place full of awful christian rock 24/7. I must have heard the word "glorious" a million times.

 

[giancarlo123x]

God puts the love into every chicken sandwich.

 

[Shauni]

As long as it isn't Creed, then it's all good.

Don't need Scott Stapp infecting my ears whilst I enjoy waffle fries.

Creed was Christian rock?

 

[TheCochese]

God puts the love into every chicken sandwich.

That's why it's so delicious.

But it doesn't explain why he forsook the new burrito. Rates like dried up underpants.

 

[kitsunelaine]

Ever been somewhere that plays classical music? That’s all religious music.

That's a severe overstatement.

 

[JustenP88]

Well, there's a reason the company is so openly homophobic... Shouldn't be much of a surprise that they're playing Christian music in the lobby.

 

[Beartruck]

Meh. I think if you go to Chick fil-a you know what you're getting at this point.

Besides, a lot of religious music can be kickass. You'd probably never know Andy Hunter's song "Come on" was religious unless I told you because outside of the phrase "kingdom come" it is 4 straight minutes of street racing music.

 

[CookedChocobo]

Lol so you can eat and repent to god for killing your body with their food.

 

[burn this down]

Yeah I think it varies between Chick-fil-a’s. But as long as it’s tasteful I don’t really care. I remember I went into a CFA back home during Christmas time and they were playing a nice saxophone rendition of Ave Maria. As long as it’s not in my face and it sounds pleasant, I don’t mind.

 

[Keasar]

There's two things I am sure about Chick-fil-A.

They are religious and they hate homosexuals.

No idea about their food.

 

[Bad_Boy]

"on the low"
"lowkey"
Really?...

Upset about slang? Really?

 

[VenomousCoffee]

I honestly don't understand how instrumental music can be religious.
