You won't catch me in a CFA on Friday. And technically you aren't allowed to marry another man in Alabama so you shouldn't call him your "wife"

LOL, I'm betting Friday will be a busy day too from God-fearing straight people who are tired of gay agenda antics.

Tuscaloosa location drive through was backed all the way out to McFarland, prob 30 people in line outside

Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy is not the only business tycoon who refuses to hide his faith under a bushel — top executives from some of America’s biggest companies are born-again Christians who talk about their beliefs more often than their balance sheets.

Major corporations like Tyson Foods, Interstate Batteries and Hobby Lobby were either founded or are now led by outspoken and deeply religious bosses. While some of the companies distinguish between their corporate identities and their leaders’ faith, others embrace it.

—Norm Miller, chairman of Interstate Batteries, discusses his faith and salvation at length on the company’s website, even inviting people to write him for advice on prayer;

—Tyson Foods, the Arkansas food processing giant, offers chaplains to counsel its employees on life issues like deaths or family emergencies;

—In-N-Out Burger, the popular California-based hamburger chain, prints “John 3:16” on the bottom of its cups;

—Hobby Lobby, the Oklahoma City-based arts and crafts store chain, cites its commitment to “honoring the Lord” on its website and closes its 500-plus nationwide locations on Sundays, as does Chick-fil-A.

“We believe that it is by God's grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured,” its website reads. “He has been faithful in the past, we trust Him for our future.”

Cathy sparked a national controversy last month when he told the Baptist Press that he was “guilty as charged” for supporting the “biblical definition of a family,” leading to widespread criticism from gay rights groups and the mayors of at least three large U.S. cities — Chicago, San Francisco and Boston — who said the chain was no longer welcome there.




“It can come across as anti-something rather than pro-something. It’s very important to do it positively and inclusively.”

- Jonah Bloom, chief strategy officer for Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal & Partners


Another well-known company, furniture maker Herman Miller — which was founded by Christian evangelical D.J. De Pree in 1905 — said despite its founders’ religious background, the firm is not a “religious company,” a spokesman told FoxNews.com.

“Although the founding family were deeply devout Christians, at no point in the company’s history was their religious faith part of the ethos,” spokesman Ron Reeves said. “The company’s ethos is based on values rather than religion.”

Requests for comment from Interstate Batteries on what role religion plays in its company were not returned Wednesday, but a “personal testimony” page on its website clearly spells out the beliefs held by its chairman.

“Norm Miller is also a believer in God’s power to change lives, because it was that power that turned his own life around after years of drinking as hard as he worked,” the website reads. “That was the beginning of many changes in his personal and professional life. At the same time, there were some things about Norm Miller that stayed the same. His creative energy never flagged, and his willingness to dream up and try new ideas remained his hallmark.”

One marketing expert said blurring the line between a company’s image and its top boss’s religious beliefs can be bad for business.

Jonah Bloom, former editor of Ad Age and chief strategy officer for Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal & Partners in New York, told FoxNews.com that while having a “purpose” such as a social or environmental cause can be a very good thing for a business, evoking religion can backfire.

“It can come across as anti-something rather than pro-something,” Bloom said. “It’s very important to do it positively and inclusively.”

With regards to Cathy’s statement on same-sex marriage, Bloom said it appeared to have been a “bad business decision” and not the kind of “purpose” he would have advocated.

But other business leaders, including Hobby Lobby CEO and founder David Green, say being outspoken about their religious beliefs is non-negotiable. In 2011, the Green family — whose fortune was estimated by Forbes magazine at about $2.5 billion — purchased 30,000 rare biblical texts and artifacts that now make up one of the largest private collections of its kind in the world.

“We believe the Bible has a positive influence and I think that all people should see what it has to say,” president Steve Green said. “We encourage people to make their choice and follow its principals like we do and strive to do.”

It sure is good to see the real story and the great Christian values many of the American people. If the number of people across the country was at Chic fil a like the one on Clinton Highway here in Knoxville, TN and they all vote for Romney we have defeated Obama.
My wife went to get us lunch and the people were lined up around the resturant and out in Lowe's parking lot. Couldn't get through the drive through. She ask the girl who waited on her if they had expected a crowd like this and she said no. She said it had been like this all day long.
I guess this will show those idiots that don't want the resturants in their city. Go chick fil a and the American people that support them.

CF in oxford was backed up some said 45 minute wait. This is awesome. I love it headed back after church tonight. In God We Trust!!

Need something to remind these people to vote.

48 in H'ville just did a story. It's nation wide! Also showed film from other locations across the country. You go Chick-fil A, givem the bird!
We don't have one in Scottsboro.

And it's still backed up way past Staples, nearly to Lowes.

The Chiken minis are better, IMO.

Daphne at 5:25pm

Wish they still had the Banna Pudding Milk shake. Those things were awesome

Didn't eat all day and spent most of the day in Huntsville. On my way home to B'ham, I stopped in the Gardendale CFL at around 3 pm and couldn't believe the drive-thru line!!!!

How do they keep up with demand?!?!? Huge lines everywhere!!!

It's a bad day for chickens! A good day for Christ.

I'll footnote the aforementioned. I do not discriminate against gays and lesbians as some awesome ppl are gay. God loves gay, straight, white, black, purple or green ppl. Hallelujah for God's mercy, cuz I need it. I love QDMA! (another footnote!)

I tried to beat the crowd at the CFA in Foley at 10 a.m. Line wrapped around the building and all parking spots were filled. There were people parking at Lowes and Krispy Kreme and walking over to CFA. They were prepared, though. There had to be 20 employees working behind the counter. It only took us about 20 minutes to make the loop and a half around the building and get our meals. It was an awesome feeling. I hope this is the start of Christians working together and taking back our country.

A lot of necks gettin wrung.

I never watch the national news, but decided to today so I could see if there was any coverage on this. I figured there would not be, but NBC is going to cover it. Just waiting for the commercials to be over so I can see their liberal slant on it.

I wanted to go there today, but I had heard the lines were long and I was tending to a crisis at work.

At least our secretary went by there this morning and bought breakfast.

I was told that Fox6 was there and Leeds police was directing traffic.

Took my family to the one in Alabaster. Awesome to see so many out in support!

I know that CBS didn't cover it.

Look at some of the tweets in this article...not very tolerant. LOL!
