    There's nothing to know on how God came to exist. I get where your logic takes you. You live in a world where people come out of other people who came out of other people and so on and so on. You live in a world where cause and effect rule. So you trace back everything in existence back and back and back as far as you can go until your mind literally cannot wrap itself around it and you go, Ah ha! There's gotta be a God there. Why? Because it doesn't make any sense! I can't understand it! So "God did it" makes me feel good and safe and helps me understand things I'll never be able to in my life. I'm sorry, I can't follow you down that road.

    It's like this, right. Like you understand the concept of infinity. Of an everlasting expanse that goes on forever. You understand the concept, but can you really fathom infinity? Can you really understand forever? We truly can't because we live in a finite world where everything we know has borders and boundaries. We define space everywhere we go. So now you've got this idea of existence. What if I were to propose that "existence" is the natural state of the universe. That there always was "stuff". You want to think that the natural state of the universe is nothingness because that's what you can grasp based on your experiences here on Earth. If there's a couch in this room, then it's safe to assume there used to NOT be a couch in this room. How did the couch get here? Who made the couch? And on and on. But who's to say the same concepts apply to the universe? What if it just always WAS. The truth is, you understand this concept completely because these are the characteristics you attribute to your "God." He was always here. He's always existed. Why not take an unnecessary step out of the process and just say that the universe has always existed.

    Most thought inducing thing in this whole thread.

    Also, I'm sorry you had to give up your lemonade Christy. I loved their freaking waffle fries. I moved up north so this chain doesn't even exist up here...

    If their chicken as actually any good, I'd be a lot more disappointed by this news.

    Truthfully though, I never felt very strongly about this. If anything, the CEO just made everyone's job as responsible, concerned citizens much easier in terms of what to do with your money.

    What actually sucks to me about this whole issue is how inflated it's become, along the lines of what Nicky said. All it's doing is widening the gap between any possibility of a real discussion.

    Orrrrrrrr we could just buy into the Big Bang Theory and say what nearly all scientists say, that the universe had a definite beginning? This is the problem, people let themselves be ruled by their emotions rather than the truth. It's what caused modern religion (post-scientific discovery), it's what caused Chick-Fil-A to take this stance, it's what caused people to believe in an afterlife anyway. Humans would rather believe in some cosmic superhero with zero evidence (past "omg iz in da bibble das pruf!!!1!") than admit the fact that the universe doesn't give a damn about them, because they don't want to admit that we are alone.

    Got a Peach Milkshake from them today because they're about to stop serving them. Those things are fucking tasty.
    So, I'm marching up to your gates today. To throw my lonely soul away.

    Chick-fil-a was fucking delicious, but then I went vegan thus the only thing I would ever get there was lemonade because it's also fucking delicious. But then two years ago I found out about this issue and I had to give up my lemonade. And now my life is ruined. Discuss.
    Thank you, Christy.

    Personally I've never enjoyed Chick-Fil-A's chicken. It is ridiculously greasy. However, I did like their strawberry cheesecake, which they also recently got rid of. Bad decisions lately, Chick-Fil-A. Bad decisions.

    Me? Yeah i Enjoy their Spicy Chicken Sands. They don't have onion and other toppings which is whack! I have to pay how much extra for the "Deluxe" or whatever just to get lettuce , cheese, and tomato. I don't enjoy tomato(Is a required taste I believe). So I'm not paying extra if i have that other stuff at home. I love their Honey Roasted BBQ sauce
    and their breakfast biscuit spicy chicken sand with bacon,egg,cheese was bomb.

    Chase. Ive been wanting to try that peach shake. I'll have to swing by their tomorrow before that's gone ha.


    Edit: Oh forgot bout their Waffle fries thanks jess^ For what you pay$$ you should get way more though just sayin
