I suppose the Evangelicals want a manger with the baby Jesus and farm animals, and the 3 wise men. As if any of that mythology has anything to do with Christmas. Let's get real, Christmas is a celebration of capitalism, plain and simple. Red cups are just fine, who cares.

If that isn't persecution of Christians, I don't know what is!

Nothing much important going on in the world these days, so I'm sure that this will really catch on around the whole planet.

No cup of coffee is worth what they ask for them. That's why they should be complaining.

Two fancy-ass drinks from Starbucks cost as much as a 3lb can of coffee from Costco.

Edit to add: Of course, this is the day and age where you don't even think twice about payin' a buck an a half for a bottle of water that comes in a free environment-polluting container.

Bet Jesus thanks the old man every day for talent like this pushing his team down on planet earth.

That kid is one sharp knife in the drawer the way he tricked those baristas. Bet people were impressed when the name "Merry" was called out and this big, bearded slugger walked up to get his juice.

I bet that guy has cups galore with all kinds of Christmas and Christ stuff. Going to Starbucks tomorrow to get me some coffee and telling them my name is "Proud Atheist" or "American Heathen".

16. Why Do They Not Complain About Chick-fil-a

Why does this man and others like him not complain that a like Chick-fil-a does not have decorations on their items during the Christmas/holiday season? As far as I know Chick-fil-a does not put out any special Christmas themed cups or bags. Shouldn't he be angry that a company like Chick-fil-a does less than companies like Starbucks for Christmas?

these folks to make themselves feel righteous--modern day christian martyrs. IIRC it was begun by Bill O'Reilly and is brought back every year by someone who hopes to gain the spotlight and call attention to themselves and their cause. Oh, those poor persecuted christians. They all need to get a real life and end this propaganda.

He is a complete lunatic who loves to make these inane YouTube videos and makes about as much sense as submarine screen-doors.

It is asshats like this guy that make me wish there really was a hateful bigoted "god" to pass judgment on people, because the joke would be on his ilk in the end.

Hey Josh, since you are the kind of idiot I could actually see looking up responses to yourself on the internet with some kind of perverse pride, here's the deal with you and your antics - YOU drive people AWAY from your petty notion of "god" every time you open your mouth, so please keep on doing what you do baby. Thanks for being a contributor to the demise of religion. The more of you that pop up the faster the younger generation sees religion as a joke and something to ignore.

Get the whole grain muffin next time, and you won't be temped to demonstrate your trigger happy Jeebus-based love all bound up in that type of Christianity.
