Never Frank, but I used to play a darn good Criminologist...

But Christmas already has many pagan symbols and rituals integrated into it. So, what is one more?

Too funny

How can they have a Christmas gift card with no snowman on it? Don't they know the significance of snowmen and the birth of Christ?

The color or decorations on a coffee cup have nothing to do with Christmas good or bad. I've never given it much thought and neither have most Christians. It's coffee. Buy it or don't. But it's foolish to even care about what's on the outside of the cup. If the coffee wasn't any good, I wouldn't drink it.

Looks like Google is getting into the act, as they are giving their Project Fi users a "Holiday Present."

I'm drinking a Starbucks French Roast coffee. It doesn't taste pagan though. It's rather "heavenly."

Why all this concern about the vessel (cup) used to allow people to consume caffeine and pollute their body, the temple of God? It seems like choking on a gnat after swallowing a camel whole (hopefully with his head buttered and his ears pinned back).

I don't think it's that big of a deal to the majority of Christians. It's really a small thing. It gets the press and that makes it look bigger than it is. I think US money has pagan symbols on it. Not completely sure but if it's true, then Christians should probably stop using money too. At least cash money.

As in the 'cup of wrath'.............?

Let the rest of us know how it tastes.


guzzle guzzle

I do not drink coffee, I am blameless and pure!

I'm also a poet!

Something for you to ponder......

Amos 5
The Coming Judgment

16Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

17And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.

18Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

19As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

20Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

21I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

22Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

23Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

24But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

25Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? 26But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. 27Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.


And a Nazi?

I don't see anything where it says I can't drink coffee.

Christian group slams Starbucks holiday cup as ‘war on Christmas’

MP says that Starbucks' new Christmas cups are 'political correctness gone mad'


I've never been a huge fan of Starbucks, because of the tax dodging and the poor quality coffee. But since they've aligned themselves with the forces of anti-Christmas, I have had to rethink my opinion.

This is a major victory in this year's FWOC, but I'm realistic enough to know that it is not a fatal blow. Our work is far from done, and if we really want 2015 to be the first year when Christmas doesn't happen, we need to build on this good work, one multinational coffee supplier at a time.

Hi,

I kind of like thier red cups. They do remind me of Christmas.

LOVE,

There is nothing wrong with the Starbucks cups. I can't believe this thread is still active.

Also, what's wrong with tattoos, huh?

 

[CRAZY_CAT_WOMAN]

Apparently nobody cared about the cup not being Christmas enough. Since I seen many people in line with them yesterday.

Ah yes, my avatar, the one of a famous Nazi!

Oh wait!

Well he was a member of the Nazi party up until he... you know... tried to murder Hitler.

Some of us only drink decaf.
