Starbucks First Corporation To Murder Christmas This Year
image:
It's almost as if they were a business, not a church.
After a few early rumblings back in August, its finally that most beloved time of the year, War On Christmas season! And the Most Offensive Thing in the World right now is Starbucks red and green coffee cups. Obviously. You see, in previous years, the companys paper coffee cups in November and December featured wintry or Christmas-themed designs like snowflakes, ornaments and nature scenes. But for 2015, in what can only be described as a deliberate rejection of Christ the Risen Lord and His Holy Nativity, the cups are a holly-jolly red with a green Starbucks logo. Those BASTARDS.
While the corporate home of burnt coffee beans claims, in language no doubt crafted by the Father of Lies himself, that the design is meant to express the simplicity and the quietness of the winter holidays (CHRISTMAS, DAMN IT, CHRISTMAS! WHY CANT YOU SAY CHRISTMAS? IS IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOUR HEATHEN TONGUES WOULD BURST INTO FLAME AT YOUR BLASPHEMY?!!?), a number of the easily outraged know the whole thing is a plot to further erode the tenuous grasp that Christianity still has on the tattered remnants of Western Civilization, which lies everywhere in ruins thanks to militant secularists and probably the Jews, with their Happy Holidays.
. . . . . .
It is also not known whether Christian Concern, which mostly engages in culture-war issues in the UK, ever Concerns itself with more quotidian activities like feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, or healing the sick. But theyre dead set against letting Starbucks spit right in the eye of the worlds Christians with these red cups, so we can at least be certain thats covered. Besides, its not like theres still lepers or poor people out there anymore.
On our side of the pond, former pastor Joshua Feuerstein posted a Facebook video in which he bragged about telling a Starbucks barista that his name was Merry Christmas, so the wage slave would have to write those words on the cup and say them out loud. GOTCHA, Starbucks, and paid five bucks for a cup of coffee to make you mend your ways. Feuerstein also gleefully showed that he had carried a gun into the Starbucks, in open Christian defiance of the Starbucks CEOs request that patrons please not do that. Guess he showed THEM what Christmas is really about.

(17,202 posts)... that the color of cups a coffee shop chooses for it's product should become a matter of national news. This goes 'way beyond the ignorance and insularity of "first world problems."

(39,343 posts)Prominently displayed for sale are Advent Calendars, reusable cups that say JOY with a wreath as the "O", a wall of Christmas themed cups and mugs, and they also have Christmas Blend coffee and signs all over. I saw the word "Christmas", not "x-mas" or even "holiday", but CHRISTMAS.
There is no persecution of christians at the coffee chain. There is no slighting of Jesus at Starbucks
This is all BULLSHIT from the whiny babies on the rw.

(113,336 posts)in my supermarket) how much I love the red cups- from the rolling eyes, I gather that they had been getting comments both directions all morning. of course, I made a point of saying what pathetic little lives the haters lead (knowing full well that one of them was a few feet from me).
yes, there is an awful lot of christmas stuff out there--but these people just have to whine about something, or they don't feel fulfilled.
