I find this extremeley disturbing. At least it isn't a McDonald's. But still, a franchised eatery in a church? I doubt it is what Jesus had in mind.

what's with the voting?

Wow.

Way to go, Chuch. We've come a long way from the senseless slaughter of your ancestors.

Will someone please translate that headline into English?

I always thought this would be the first food franchise in a house of worship:

Taco Bell will be located in the rectory.

Government, Religion, and Corporations. It's one big crooked love triangle.

Our Founding Fathers would burn it all down and start over.

so.... do we get to eat during the sermon?

Flashbulb
Actually, I think they'd flee the country for someplace else, to try again....

Not that I would blame them.

...but I don't like fish...

/well, I do, but y'know... trying to be funny and all

Things in U.S. are reminding me more and more of an episode of Max Headroom.

gis for 'chuch'

Im sure I read in a book somewhere that this man, they called him Jesus, mexican chap but a really nice guy, and he threw everyone out of this building because they where doing business in it. The building was called a Temple, I remember now.

/Idiotas

I bet they got the idea for this from a Simpons ep.... hmm I wonder which??? Maybe the one where the church can't afford to run and has ADs EVERYWHERE hehe =)

I knew I should have patented that farking idea when I had it. I was going to use "Church's Chicken" or "Crucifiction Chicken" too.

Some of you farkers will remember I came up with this idea months ago.

The bastards.

How do you expect them to pay for all the lawsuits? Finally they are embrassing that their profit side instead of pretending to give a fark.

c'mon... it's not the first christian restaurant. Of course, the last one catered to lions, but still...

Tbond you understand that it was the catholic church that was sued not a baptist church? Oh guess not.

Chuch? Was the submitter making a Snoop Dogg reference, or just being a semi-literate doof? If the former, I believe Mr. Dogg spells it "chuuuch."

The miracle of the 5 loaves and the 2 fish is a story of Jesus - when he was preaching, he had about 5,000 followers traveling with him at the time, in addition to his disciples. Not having any food to feed them, the disciples managed to gather 5 loaves and 2 fish - but basically were dumbfounded on how they could feed 5,000 people on that amount.

Jesus takes the 5 loaves and 2 fish, tells the disciples that they shouldn't worry and and proceeds to make several basketsful of fish and meat from the 5 loaves and 2 fish, with several baskets leftover. All 5000 ate, and were satisfied.

That being said, I don't think a subway restaraunt has any place in a church - what's next? Moneychangers? Dove sales?

I still have problems dealing with churches that are incredibly beautiful and ornate - the church isn't about the location or the place, it's about the people and God - so building franchise stores as a financial generation means or even asking for donations to the church to make the church even bigger tends to go against the text of the Bible, imo.

/end christian-educating

Chuch? Is thi9s farking snoop dogg?

The Reverend Jarod Fogel's Sunday sermon: "Satan Wants You on a High-Carb Diet."

But why open a franchise for only 15 worshippers? They could just pick up one or two of those three-foot "party" subs and feed the whole damned joint!

Spince I'm pretty sure he was talking about the total disregard for spelling or grammar. Not the bullshiat fairytales that the ignorant tell their children to scare them.

/a vote for me is a vote for the total seperation of religion from state, country, even mind. The truth is out there. The truth is nobody knows. Lying doesn't change the truth.

It's sacrilicious!

"Would you like to make that into a meal deal, sir?"
"Uh, sure."
"Cookies or chips?"
"Chips."
"Do you collect the stamps?"
"Um, yeah. Thanks."
"Would you like your meal transubstantiated into the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ?"
"Oh. Er, not today, thanks."
"Burn in hell, sir."

My apologies! I misread the last line of the article. 15 employees? I don't visit my local Subway too often, but when I do I always see the same three teenage dullards.

well...the article doesn't say anything about the eatery being inside the church, other than the grand opening will be held inside the church. maybe it's next door? maybe construction isn't finished?

in other news, my boss just said "hey, god gotta eat fresh, too."

So, if this Subway is inside a church do they collect sales tax?

are they gonna cook children there for consumption of the church members since they ran out of 'his body, shed for you'

At least he's being honest. Church is just a racket. Hell let in corporations do it up right. Get citicorp in there processing loans and you'll have a blasphemy nexus.

Jesus loves the money changers.

/potentially the most retarded thing I've seen on a t-shirt in my life, found amid the thousands of other Christian t-shirts on the backs of Cedar Point patrons...2nd place would have to be Lord's Gym, His Pain Is Your Gain.

Wasn't/isn't Albertsons owned by the Mormons...?

GIS for "corporate jesus":



He looks good in a suit.

In the Bible, Jesus got very angry when merchants started selling things in the temple and went into a rage and told them all to get out. I don't think this Subway franchise is in the right location, I see a bad moon rising!

It's good to see the fundamentalist atheists come out and give Christians a good, bigoted bashing.

This is what it must have been like to be a white male in the 1950s.

Ahead of its time?

Fark Postr write its own headline. Raises bet with five misspellings, two grammatical

Chuch. :-P

There is a church down the block from where I work that has a restaurant in it.

It is called Hot Dogma, I kid you not.

Huh? If the 'truth' is nobody knows, how can you be sure that a christian story is a 'lie'?

:-) I see a simpsons episode coming from this
:-/ oh wait there IS A SIMPSONS EPISODE WITH THIS

With this and Madonna's recent doings religion has taken a hit this week.

Translation to English for MC Magic Cracker:
It's said that a hungry crowd of 5,000 men had only two fish, and five loaves of bread, and that Jesus began dividing up the fish, and breaking the loaves of bread, and feeding the men. Every man was fed, and when all were gone, many empty bread baskets were found, and the bones of hundreds of fish. It's one of Jesus' miracles. It's where the Jesus Fish comes from. What people don't realize is that the story is really an elaborate allegory, in which the ultimate meaning of the story is harmony. It has to do with Zoroastrian beliefs, and I'm waaay too tired to remember the full explanation. I hope that's enough.

Bloody spelling - "Subber"? "Suba"?

PRAT

According to Barbra Thierry in the book "Jesus The Man" the Essene monks who catered the occasion were actually divided into various ranks with 'Fish' being slightly higher in stature than 'Loaves'.
Five fish and two loaves, or whatever, refers to the number of food distributors, not the quantity of food.
Apparently.

Yes. Your kind were so persecuted then. So persecuted they never spoke of it, wrote of it, or left any proof of it whatsoever.
