My hat's off to Dan Cathy, Chick-fil-A president, who had the courage in an onslaught of criticism concerning their Biblical stance on the definition of the family unit to stand firm and not back down on what the Bible says. Chick-fil-A, a Christian based restaurant, has always stood on Biblical principle when it comes to running a restaurant. Since the first Chick-fil-A restaurant was opened in 1967, the Cathy's have always honored God when it comes to running their restaurants. Chick-fil-A has always been closed on Sundays since it first opened its doors. The Cathy family are Southern Baptists and have never been ashamed of their faith. Chick-fil-A, an Atlanta-based company, refused to reconsider to open its doors on Sundays even when the 1996 Summer Olympics were taking place in Atlanta. I appreciate a restaurant that places Biblical principle over profits. Chick-fil-A also boasts of having the only college football bowl game with an invocation.
Earlier this month, Chick-fil-A caught the ire of gay rights groups over the restaurant's stance over gay marriage and the Biblical definition of a family. Gay rights activists have called for a boycott, the Jim Henson Co. pulled its Muppet toys from children's meals, and politicians in Boston and Chicago have told the chain it isn't welcome there.
Former Arkansas Governor and Baptist minister Mike Huckabee is declaring this coming Wednesday as "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" to support a business who's executives are willing to take a stand for Godly values, according to Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who also joined in the cause. Evangelist Billy Graham, who has milked many a cow over his lifetime, said he was going to support Chick-fil-A in its cause next Wednesday.
