Starbucks stirs things up with a God quote on cups - Yahoo! News
So - on top of it already being a major hassle to order coffee (OK I will rephrase) - to stand BEHIND someone ordering a convoluted cup of java - I now have to have God 'thrust' upon me too???
Well as a good friend Mr. Hess once said: 'Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks'

this certainly hit me hard when i read about it in the newspaper...knowing that now i will be giving up my favorite cup o'joe. i don't know that i feel that it's being "thrust" upon me, but if i want to read the scripture, i know which novel to pick up. damn, i'm gonna miss those caramel machiatos.
C2 - excuse me? When did you become a card carrying member of the Christian right? ShallI send you a flier from my daughter's church???
Give me a break - the God quote does not belong on a coffee cup - at all - I don't friggin' feel like being 'embraced by the friggin light' everytime I turn around - it's an ad - we all know it is - and they need to leave God the hell out of it - so you can take your little speech and do you know what with it...I ain't going to Starbucks or anyplace else that pushes God on me anymore - sorry but if I want to read a 'quote' from a supposed God - I will look in the scriptures...not on my coffee cup.
*big hugs* anyways....
Oh and Sid,
Don't worry - your heart will thank you for not drinking all that sugar and fat.

One last thing about 'Brand' advertising. I am sick of this crap in this country. I just saw a report where conservatives from the 'right' are threatening to boycott a doll (American Girl Doll) - if the company that makes the doll does not pull their support of a girls' organisation - why? Because that organisation supports a woman's right to choose and also being a lesbian (see link: http://www.wavy.com/Global/story.asp?S=3981831&nav=23ii).
I want the freakin' culture wars left out of my cosumerism thanks very much - as well as out of my kid's doll-buying purchases - what's next - the gas company won't read your meter if you don't go to church on Sunday.
Madison Avenue never meant for this shit to happen and I am just fine with it not happening. I want my coffee normal, thanks.
Some clever film director ought to do a spoof off of "Dawn of the Dead": the nation wakes up one morning to discover that everyone is turning -- not into zombies -- but into Christians. I think a satirical nightmare sequence like that would be hilarious! How terrifying, to think that very soon only you and a handful of people are left who are still normal: everyone else you know -- friends, neighbors, loved ones, the little old lady down the street -- they have all caught the contagion of Christianity. Your courageous little group manages to barracade yourselves in a shopping mall, whilst outside there is a sea of Christians trying to get in at you, to turn you into one of them...
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
lmao
God - or any mention therof does not belong anywhere but in church C2. Period. Not on my coffee cups that I am buying - not on anything I buy unless I CHOOSE to have that message there.
I am not allowed ot mention God or spirituality in my Yoga class - now isn't that nuts - I consider it to be one of the most spiritual things I do - but heaven forbid (pun intended) I mention a God-like being or communing with such a being....but let Starbucks put it on a friggin paper coffee cup and THAT'S OK? Not following the logic here C2 - not at all....
I consider God to be sacred - I consider coffee to be profane. Me not wanting it on my Starbucks cup does not make me a 'knee-jerk' anything and like Ken I am sick and friggin tired of religion being shoved down my throat every day and every time I turn around - enough is enough.
