Christians are so mad at Starbucks

    its a bit overvalued right now, but probably a good medium term investment.

    You couldn't be more wrong. That would be a perfectly fine question.

    When my son was four, we lived in a subdivision divided by two towns. On Christmas Eve, both towns have Santa make the rounds of the neighborhoods on fire trucks, stopping at a bunch of places along the way to greet kids. We had to arrange his coming and going just so in order for him not to wonder why Santa was on a red fire truck after he had just seen him in our street riding a yellow fire truck.

    The last one is kinda implicit if you're frequenting Starbucks.

    Everybody's missing the point.

    Starbucks got rid of the sled, snowman, etc. because thanks to Global Warming, no one can enjoy those snow-based activities any more.

    They should have made the cups all-black, to reflect the angst SUV-driving suburban moms and their teenage daughters feel about the environment as they wait in the Starbucks drive-through lane for their order.

    Looks like it's covered in the blood of Christ to me.

    I'm always amused at all the outrage among the perpetually-aggrieved Christians over "keeping Christ in Christmas," when they don't realize that just about every single one of the "Christian" traditions of Christmas -- including when it's celebrated -- come from pagan celebrations of the winter solstice.

    "Keep the East in Easter" just doesn't test nearly as well with focus groups.

    They should try a plain, logo-free cup sometime, then the outrage will be from people who demand that status symbol on the side of their $4.62 latte. Heck, it would probably do wonders for their branded-mug sales.

    You don't like Christians or Christianity. We get it, Dick. We got it the first hundred times you started an anti-Christian thread, which without fail follow the same pattern each time and follow the same script in terms of responses. When called on it, you go "WWHHAAA?" like an NFL player seemingly stunned for getting called for an obvious penalty. Doesn't this unhealthy obsession get a little old, even for you?
