Scott Lively: The Mark Of The Beast Now Looks Like A Chick-Fil-A Sandwich

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Monday, 3/24/2014 10:38 am

Of all the right-wing reactions to Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s quiet step back from the marriage equality debate, Scott Lively’s might just take the cake. In a post on Matt Barber’s BarbWire today, Lively writes that although Cathy has not yet taken the “Mark of the Beast,” his decision to back out of the gay marriage debate “suggests he might be willing to take it if faced with that choice.” “I am convinced that God is using the homosexual issue as a test of believers all over the world,” Lively continues. “What would it profit Mr. Cathy to gain the whole world (or a few more restaurants on college campuses), if his compromise of Biblical truth today makes him less able to resist the real Mark of the Beast tomorrow?” “In my mind’s eye I used to see the Mark of the Beast as a black dot on the back of the hand,” he concludes. “Now it looks more like a Chik Fil A [sic] sandwich. I’ll never buy another one, and I hope you won’t either.”

1. "I used to see the Mark of the Beast

as a black dot on the back of the hand". They have very good medications for that now.

2. I still remember one of those "endtimes" 70's movies...

The "Mark" would look like this:

OIIO
OIIO
OIIO

Supposedly it's binary for "666."

Except according to the actual BIBLE, (not Hollywood or the endtimes prophets,) the "Beast" would look like this:



Now if I saw that, I'd run like a scared jackrabbit!

4. That mark kinda looks like 'OHIO'

and the binary would be 110, since you don't append leading 0s. Which would mean the mark of the beast grants read and write privileges to the owner and group, but not execute privileges to either. They should have gone with 770 privs, I think. (Computer 'humour'.)

And I've always heard cat meat tastes terrible, so I certainly wouldn't want a 'beast-fil-a' sandwich.

23. One of the heads is supposed to look like it was mortally wounded but then healed.

Maybe it's the face that has a sad in that picture.

[giftedgirl77]

26. That thing is awesome, I've never seen it before.

I'm bookmarking this as a possible tattoo...

3. Mwuahahah.

So first Chick-fil-a cost themselves all of their principled socially progressive customers by backing homophobia, and after deciding the business hit cost them too much, now try to weasel around to trying to separate themselves from that particular bad business decision, and piss off the homophobes who celebrated their original embracing of 'religious freedom'.

That's a double, what can they possibly do next to pull the hat trick?

[gvstn]

5. Now they have two slogans running through people's heads...

Hate Chikin and Mark of the Beast Sandwich. Nice work Mr. Cathy! Haha.

6. Time to open a competing restaurant, Mark of the Beastburger

Who's in?

[NightWatcher]

7. ummmmm, sacrilicious with more blasphemeat in every bite

[riqster]

8. Blasphemeat? Brilliant!

I get so tired of using sacred cows for hamburger...

[AZ Mike]

9. Winner, winner....

....chicken dinner!!!

Nice wordplay.

[Demo_Chris]

11. BWAHAHHAHA!!! nt

[Oilwellian]

25. ROFL

That is hysterical!

[JVS]

22. Wasn't there some Golden Calf fast food chain in a Kevin Smith movie?

[Dirty Socialist]

10. I know what I'm Having for Dinner

Roast Beast, err... Chik-Fill-A. With lemonade. If it's bad enough for Lively, it's good enough for me.

[Iggo]

12. Mark Of The Beast.

Why is it not okay to call these people stupid deluded idtiots?

[KamaAina]

13. Do they have a combo for $6.66?

[haele]

17. Y'know, I went through their drive-through a long time ago and bought a meal that came out to $6.66.

The girl at the window giving me my food was laughing her ass off because the manager was freaking out in the background, trying to get her to ask me to change my order - and I heard him saying he didn't want anyone to touch the reciept or take the money if I was going to pay exact change (which I did).

I guess some people believe whenever there's a 666 that occurs anywhere in the world, Satan appears. What he might be able to do under that hypothisis would be problimatic at best - He'd be poppin around like a rodent in a whack-a-mole machine and be called off somewhere else and disappear before he could do anything.

(This was before we decided to boycott. My husband is from the south, and he loves Chick-fil-et - mainly for their waffle fries, which are about the only fry that doesn't taste nasty when it goes cold and can be re-heated in the toaster oven.)

18. ROFL!!

Wonder what they'd do if the Georgia Bulldogs, or whoever their favorite team is, scored nine touchdowns with extra points and a field goal, compared to two field goals for the other team?

[Chiyo-chichi]

19. About 25 years ago, I worked at a pizza place.

A regular customer had figured out exactly what to order to make his total $6.66 and he ordered it without fail.
He would pay with a check on which his name was "Prince of Darkness."
I don't recall seeing his ID, but my memory is that he had his name legally changed to Prince of Darkness.

[undeterred]

14. So what does that make KFC?

[LibertyLover]

16. KFC?

Well, they could be 664 or 668, the Beast's next-door neighbors, or they could be -666, the opposite of the Beast, or 333, the Semi-Beast.

[jmowreader]

21. No. They're 667

Directly across the street from the Beast.

Strange question: doesn't the number of the Beast come from the number of letters in Julius August Caesar's name? Revelation was written when throwing Christians to lions was a form of entertainment, so that theory makes a lot of sense.

[LibertyLover]

27. Nero

I thought it came from Nero's full name. Make's you go "hmmmmm".

[jmowreader]

28. Thanks...I knew it was a Roman dictator

[NuclearDem]

15. Pretty close.

Lots of weeping and gnashing of teeth in the bathrooms.

[Orsino]

20. Theocrat hopes for principled stand by plutocrat.

Everybody point and laugh.

[Buns_of_Fire]

24. These people are surely messing up my food budget.

I've already got four boxes of Cheerios (and I don't particularly even LIKE Cheerios!), ten boxes of Girl Scout cookies, Honey Maid Graham Crackers are on my shopping list, and NOW I'm going to have to have a Chick-Fil-A something-or-other at least once a week?

If they ever boycott DiGiourno, I'm gonna die of pepperoni pizza poisoning.
