Restaurant bosses have been accused of witchcraft after burying a bible underneath their new fast food outlet.
Devout Christians David and Holley Snow wanted to bless diners at their Chick-fil-A franchise but must have thought doing each one separately was too time-consuming.
Instead, they decided to bury a bible under the foundations of the property in Marshall, Texas, US and shared news of the holy move on Facebook.
But social media users were baffled and accused the pair of witchcraft, while some said it was the ‘definition of virtue signalling’ as others joked that ‘God said to them go forth and open a chicken shop’.
Chick-fil-A Marshall’s Facebook post said: “When the first concrete was poured on the restaurant site, it was important to us that a bible be laid into the foundation of Chick-fil-A Marshall.
“We opened the bible to Joshua 1:9, which is a verse that has stuck with our operator [David] and his family through all their endeavours.
“It says, ‘have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord, your God, will be with you wherever you go’.
“While we do serve delicious food, people are what’s most important to us.
“Our purpose here is simple. To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us and to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.
“The Snows’ prayer is that this is always your experience when CFA Marshall’s doors open in just a few short months.”
The decision to put the bible under the new restaurant’s foundations attracted thousands of comments and reactions, splitting opinion over whether it was a good idea.
Chick-fil-A is one of the US’s largest fast-food restaurant chains, boasting more than 2,500 stores, and former NFL player David hopes to open their franchise in ‘a few months’
Chick-fil-A and the new branch were contacted for comment but failed to respond – however the Facebook post promoting the bible burial was removed shortly after they were approached.
Apparently, this act seems bizzare!!…..What do you think their motive was?……could it be witch craft as some claimed or they were just concerned about their customers.
What do you think about the pair burying a bible? Let us know in the comments.
