Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Profits must've dipped.

Anyone know if the president of Chik-fil-a is a majority shareholder? 'Cuz if not, the shareholders could pressure him to not do stupid shit that reduces share price.

Aw, I am less cynical than you guys for a change! I assumed the Chik-fil-a people found their inner true Christians.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am maybe as cynical as possible, because I'm just glad this happened now, when my org's partnership with them will be especially public next week.

Did y'all hear about Jesus's wife? There's a fragment of papyrus from 400 AD that says so.

Did Jesus Have a Wife?

The faded papyrus fragment is smaller than a business card, with eight lines on one side, in black ink legible under a magnifying glass. Just below the line about Jesus having a wife, the papyrus includes a second provocative clause that purportedly says, “she will be able to be my disciple.”

The finding was made public in Rome on Tuesday at the International Congress of Coptic Studies by Karen L. King, a historian who has published several books about new Gospel discoveries and is the first woman to hold the nation’s oldest endowed chair, the Hollis professor of divinity.

The provenance of the papyrus fragment is a mystery, and its owner has asked to remain anonymous. Until Tuesday, Dr. King had shown the fragment to only a small circle of experts in papyrology and Coptic linguistics, who concluded that it is most likely not a forgery.

I don't expect this will affect Christianity much.

Nah, neither will Chik-Fil-A stopping the hate.
