McDonald's Makes Jesus Cry
There are billions and billions of reasons to hate McDonald's. They took the McRib away, for one, and that burns. (Sometimes I almost wish I'd never loved it at all.) There's at least one good reason to like McDonald's: They're being boycotted by the American Family Association.
What did McDonald's do to cross the AFA, its president, Donald Wildmon, and -- by extension -- Jesus (R-Nz.)? They donated $20,000 to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. McDonald's' revenue runs about five billion dollars a quarter, so you can see their profound commitment to destroying the family through sodomy.
The AFA says that by donating one thousandth of one percent of its 2007 earnings,
"McDonald's has chosen not to remain neutral but to give the full weight of their corporation to promoting the homosexual agenda."
Which seems like a kind of shrill definition of "full weight," but maybe it's like the Quarter Pounder®, and it's the weight before cooking that counts.
It feels a little like the American Family Association was looking for someone to boycott and it was just McDonald's' turn. They've already boycotted Sears, Kohl's, Kmart, Target, Old Navy and IKEA. As a result, they're naked and don't have anywhere to sit. The McDonald's boycott follows boycotts of Burger King, Carl's Jr., 7-11, Proctor & Gamble and Kraft, which means Donald Wildmon hasn't eaten anything for sale in America since the late '70s. You'd think he'd be dead, but no.
(He's a good guy. I'll bet he loads up on locusts, beetles and grasshoppers, like it says in Leviticus. The same book that -- there's no getting around it -- says homosexuality is an abomination, absolutely as heinous in G*d's eyes as strong drink.)
Does the AFA hate homosexuals? Absolutely not! It says so, right on their website, under the heading and sub-head: "Does AFA Hate Homosexuals? Absolutely Not!"
Should McDonald's take the boycott seriously? The customer is always right, I guess. (I think that's from Deuteronomy.) But McDonald's might want to think about the kind of customers they're losing. They appear to be lunatics.
Oh look, here are some of their thoughts:
"YOU DID NOT BILD YOUR COMPANY ON HOMOSEXUAL PEOPLE! IT WAS BUILD ON FAMILY VALUES! MAN,WIFE.CHILDREN!MOSTLTY CHILDREN! THEY DON'T COME FROM HOMO PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"What next, Adam & Steve in the children's happy meals? i WILL not condone the Corp. of Mc Donalds to force me to shop where it is not in lign with my believe in God and HIS scripture..."
"I have stopped at my last McDonald. If you support homos, that is fine with me. I do not have to eat your burgers. Maybe there are enough homos around to keep your arches open."
"I suppose next the playground will be open for pedifiles in order to not offend them."
"You have joined God's list of enemies!"
"What's next? Support for the Man-Boy Love Association! This shall not stand!"
"The McFaddin Family will vote with our Money and Feet and take our business elsewhere! You can stuff your Happy Gay Meal and Happy Gay Agenda where the Sun don't Shine!"
"If the McDonald's heirarchy thinks we'll buy their burgers and support deranged homosexual activists who force their lifestyle on innocent children in the public schools, they had better think again. Their burgers now have a smelly odor to them."
"You advertise straight to children (Happy Meals). Can anyone say pederasty? This lifestyle' you embolden is really a deathstyle!"
"The only thing you'll be cooking is yourselves, for eternity."
"the next thing you know RONALD will be molesting our children. No big macks for this family."
"Are you also going to support open activity between man and beast? You are helping to open the door to bestiality, sex with children, plural homosexual marriages and the list goes on!"
"Dear, McDonald's. Last week I ate a cheeseburger at your restaurant. If I would've known it was created by gay loving hands, I wouldn't have purchased it. Don't you guys know gays were behind the holocaust? First Jews, and now the family. What is next, McDonald's? Are you going to help gays eradicate sand? WHAT WILL WE DO WITHOUT SAND!?!?"
"I recently saw two young teenagers making out. I figure McDonalds is no longer my kind of place. I think the sixteen year old worked there."I just had a thought -- honest to God, I swear this wasn't where I was heading with this thing; I was just going to make a lot of snotty remarks about reductio ad absurdum and the McFaddin Family's feet -- but it occurs to me that McDonald's has done something brilliant:
They've deliberately offended a demographic they don't want.
For just $20,000, they've chased off all the crazy people who hang around McDonald's sputtering and ranting and making me not want to eat there.
It's genius.
Now, if they'd just bring back the McRib.

funny seems to me that us atheist are more forgiving and far less judgemental than those who are taught not to judge and to turn the other cheek....g
Boy, they are sure taking the fun out of fundamentalist.
But they're putting plenty of "mental" in its place!
kudos.
Quite a brilliant and humous thread....
I am a Christian, and I would like to apologies. Not for anything I have done, and definitely not because of Jesus and his gospel of grace, but for what other people have done and said when they claim to be a part of Christianity. It is strange, we have a gospel that says “love they neighbor” and treat others as you would like to be treated, and we end up with “god hates gays” and everyone must live and act according to our moral code. It seems very prideful and mean. I would like to formally apologies for George Bush, Donald Wildmon, James Dobson, and the rest of their gospel of hate crowd. I would also like to say, that even though these people claim to be Jesus’ political representatives, it seems that their words and deeds say something else.
Ezekiel 16:46-50
Qujar12, consider dumping christianity and going with buddhism. It's a much nicer religion.
yeah, like in china. vietnam. cambodia. korea, and so on. nice is relative when life is an illusion.
All paths followed by a true heart lead to the right place.
Qujar12. I join you in making this apology. If Jesus were to come to Earth in 2008, the hate-mongering false prophets would run in a thousand directions.
Jesus said: "How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." Matthew 7: 4-5.
Thanks for the post. There are some good Christians in the world still.
Christians have nothing to apologize for when "False Teachers" use Jesus name to spread hate and fear, in fact Jesus is quoted in several of the Gospels warning against these people.
And when Jesus did get mad, it was mostly at religious hyprocites and money changers in the temple of God.
It seems strange to me these "Born Again" types NEVER quote Jesus or the Gospels, but stick to Genesis, Deuteronomy and Revelations for the most part.
You are absolutely correct. An excellent response and I found it quite nice actually that someone apologised for the ignorants within the Christian movement.
Wait a minute. Aren't the wingnuts always telling us that ALL Muslims have to apologize for nutcases like Osama bin Laden, and if ALL Muslims don't apologize it proves that Islam is a violent, hateful religion?
Therefore, it follows that ALL Christians have to apologize for these wingnuts (the ones boycotting McDonald's over this) or else it proves that Christianity is a violent, hateful religion, doesn't it?
The rapture can't happen soon enough so that all of these nutbars wink on out of here so the rest of us can get back to enjoying the only world we have.

Geez. Such hatred and vile. You'd think they were posting about the Bush regime. Regardless, it's like the 50's all over again with these "people."
But as that sordid period of history saw its decline and fall, so too will this one. These moronic comments should be ignored. Half of the people who wrote them have yet to open their Bibles, let alone understand why they keep them in the first place. It's just a tool to wield against those they hate, just like a knife or a gun.
Between Bush and these ignorants, it must be a tough time to be a Christian.
PHONY CHRISTIANS are visible miles away,
because they always SELF-ADVERTISE with rage & hate.
Why does The Gay Agenda include the eradication of sand?
WTF?
No more sand means no more windows. No more windows means no more Crystal Cathedrals. Obviously, eradicating sand is part of a larger anti-Christian conspiracy.
but seriously folks, the guy who made the comment about sand was most likely a prankster.
That's what I gathered from his post. He was just being a smarta$$ and wanted the others to see their stupidity.
I agree about him making a prank. The fact it was included with the rest of (seemingly) serious complaints was confusing to me, as the others appeared to be self-righteous anger from a bunch of people who take their religion way too seriously; that one comment seemed a joke throughout.
However (to the poster below) I doubt those people will ever realize their "stupidity," because it just isn't in their nature. They honestly believe that the God they preach about loving everyone he created hates a good many of them at the same time (all who are not Christian and/or those who are gay for a start). Although I hear that if someone is Gay AND purposefully not Christian the two things cancel out and they are sent straight to heaven.
Now, I'm not Christian, but Heterosexual, so I guess it's the ol' bullet-train to Hell for me, because even though I can procreate, my heathen children will not be raised to be religious. Oh, and I believe in abortion rights, so yeah even though I don't believe in it, I guess I'm meant for Hell. But then again, the way they describe their Heaven, I don't really want any part of it.
I hope this means a global menu change to promote their new Hambuggers and Cheesebuggers. The point-of-sale product photos should be interestin
Jesus (R-Nz.)
I think the most shocking realization the Christain demonstrators revealed is that McDonalds is working to erradicate sand. What will we do without sand?
But "gay" did originally mean happy. Maybe McD's SHOULD introduce Gay meals and reclaim the word!
PS to Christian community--some browsers now have spell check!
It's best they don't use spell check. They wouldn't know how to fix the misspelled word, and they'd just get more frustrated and hateful.
"You have joined God's list of enemies!"
That's a hoot. Who needs these people, anyways? I bet they're the kind of people that cut to the front of the line to get a refill on their small Diet Coke after you've been in line for 15 mins on your lunch break. That kind of false sense of entitlement drives me insane. I bet they come back anyways. McDonald's is like crack to the middle class. I tried to stay away after "Supersize Me", but I couldn't.
Also, about a year ago the McDonald's next to where I work opened less than 24 hrs after someone got killed there, and there were people with children lining up outside the door. The kicker is that there was a giant bullet hole in the front window merely covered up by plastic... and this was a suburban neighborhood! So don't tell me any boycott will ever work.
"McDonald's is like crack to the middle class"
While I agree with your broader points, surely one of the absolute definitions of the middle-classes is that they wouldn't be caught dead in McDonalds (or any other fast-food place)?
O.K. now I am confused. Christ said to "love your enemies as you love yourself", which is a more sophisticated improvement upon "love your neighbour as yourself". Now I learn that G_d has a list of enemies. Does that mean all who eat at McDonald's are G_d's enemies and therefore loved by Him?
McDonalds can give their money to whomever they choose. People have a right to not eat there if that bothers them.
I don't eat McDonalds because of the certain after effect called McDiarrhea.
I went to the AFA's website and pasted over the text in their interface to email my representatives in opposition to what the AFA wants, and I urge you all to do the same.
I find it very hopeful given today's economy to see how much $20,000 can actually buy with the failing American dollar being where it is.
Thank you AFA for giving us hope that our recession can still see a dollar go far in a global economy.
Sadly, it only buys more hate but I think two things:
These people are illiterate and stupid, so really who cares?
And, truly mickey d's should bring back the McRib since I never got to eat one and it sounds really good right about now...
RIP, AFA, your day is coming. And when Jesus comes back I heard he was skipping your organization for a real church of Christ.
Welcome to my world. I regularly monitor the AFA's website and its "news" site OneNewsNow (the ""marks are in reference to everything they print in general, besides that Tysone Homosexual incident, another story.) Just about every story they publish, they have some sort of comment section with some of the wildest remarks I have ever read. Once I worte into one of their comment boards my thoughts about David Vitter because there was some article that didn't even once bring up his prostitution record. I wrote that he had engaged in a prostitution ring, and wouldn't you believe it? One of the responses to my comment was "Even though he may have engaged in prostitution, he still is a great man when he's fighting the abortionist murderers.
Actually, I got onto the bandwagon of monitoring their site since 2003 when I found out that they protested a Mighty Mouse cartoon because they claimed it glamourized cocaine use. Apparently they felt Mighty Mouse sniffing a flower a second too long constituted him being a crack addict.
Anybody else got any more AFA horror stories?
