Athiests, Do you feel silly talking into the drive through ordering thing? Do you feel like its praying?

Question

Like when you say "I'll have a Big Mac combo with root beer, 2 cheeseburgers, one strawberry shake and a couple of oreo McFlurries"

Do you feel like totally spiritual and stuff when the voice comes back and tells you how much money you owe for your food?

Do you feel that driving up to the first window is like a journey of life, man?

And then theres that feeling between the 1st and 2nd window where you have paid but got nothing....is that like how you would feel if you were good but still went to hell, y;know?

Please tell me what this experience does to you....do you meditate before or after? What do you do to prepare for this? What do you call this ceremony of yours?

Thanks
David

Answer 1

So, I guess your equating ordering a fast food meal with praying or visiting a church. If that is what your doing I really think your taking a leap of "faith" (lol). As a Catholic I feel no correlation between the two is appropriate, if it were what does me making a hamburger at home do?? Make me a priest, or possibly a saint?

Answer 2

I stay away from McDonalds, but every now and then I will go and get something from them.
Usually I just order give the money and drive to the next window.
Not a troubling experience for me.

Answer 3

Nah, possessing intelligence to match our pure souls and good looks, we understand the laws of physics in terms of time-space vectors, wave theory, multiple frequency signals, and dynamic systems, as well as the patterns of human behavior in work environments, and the probability theory / statistical methodology, optimization and simulation methods, and behavior hypotheses that underlie and explain the dynamic (although admittedly trivial) system problem that you outline.

It would probably take me an hour to crank out an algorithm to run a computer simulation that would mirror you system while simultaneously finding more optimal solutions. I cannot perform miracles, but Penn and Teller are light years beyond God in the art and science of illusion.

Answer 4

Man you should try Taco Bell next time,but then again DONT...
hate to think what might happen between there 1.ist and 2.nd window. You might feel that you left the U.S and are heading South of the Border.

Answer 5

Makes no sense on what you're saying. Remote speakers is an old technology. We Atheists are not the enemy of christians and other theists like you seem to be against Atheists. Our quarrel is with irrationality, wishful thinking, superstitions, intellectual dishonesty, and all other forms of thinking that keep mankind mired in darkness, ignorance and hate.

Answer 6

I wouldn't eat at Mc Donald's to save your life they don't serve food there ! I don't use drive thrus unless unavoidable because you get half way down the street before you find out your order is completely bassackwards I believe in my reservations for the luxury suite overlooking the lava pools my hyper religious ex-wife will be spending eternity in so every time she calls for water I can **** on her head !!! instead of asking stupid questions designed to annoy people shouldn't you be praying to god to make you a kinder , more understanding man ?

Answer 7

No because unlike praying to an invisible man in the sky ordering food from a girl in a booth actually works.

Answer 8

Well, any sufficiently advanced technology would appear as magic to those who don't understand it. Since I understand the drive through technology. I know that a big Ronald McDonald in the sky, most likely, does not exist ;)

Answer 9

Are you saying God is like Ronald McDonald? Who is the Hamburglar then?

I do prefer pizza, if it at all matters to god. The next time you're at the drive-thru, please pray to Ron that they put french fry shaped pizzas in a little fry box. Maybe I will find heaven then.

Answer 10

You find talking to the McDonald's drive thru like talking to Jesus? Wow, McDonald's has more pull on our society than I thought!
