Fischer: The Sale Of Bacon Proves That America Is A Christian Nation [View all]

Your daily dose of derp.

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/fischer-sale-bacon-proves-america-christian-nation

On his radio show yesterday, Bryan Fischer brought up a three year-old incident in which an employee at a Halal-friendly KFC in Australia was suspended for abusing a customer who asked for bacon as concrete proof that America is a Christian nation.

"You want one single item of proof that America is a Christian nation and not a Jewish nation and not an Islamic nation?" he asked. "One single bit of proof is all you need: we freely allow restaurants and grocery stores to sell and to serve bacon. That can only happen in a Christian country."

"So the sheer fact that we freely allow the sale and consumption of bacon," he continued, "is absolute proof that we are, in fact, a Christian nation":

So there's no bacon in Japan? Or China? Or India?

edit: Leave it to Bryan Fischer to ruin bacon.
