<yawn> <reaches for Starbucks coffee> <enjoys>

The only real blasphemy is that people think Starbucks is better then DUnkin' Donuts coffee...

I do not agree with Starbucks view I just will not go there and spend my money that's the way of protest and I will pray for the owner of Starbucks that he may find Christ and turn away from his negative view on Christmas and Christ

The owner is Jewish, btw.

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

Uh, no. He was never a member of the Nazi Party. It is difficult to find documentation of that, the old hard to prove a negative. But I found a source:

https://johnib.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/my-hero-the-nazi-claus-von-stauffenberg-and-valkyrie/

Ironic that the title says he was a Nazi and it is the only source I found that documents he was not.

By and large traditional members of the military were not Nazis.

That's fine I will pray for him even if he was an atheist.

I have no doubt... but, being Jewish, he's probably had to fend off conversion attempts from folks who have prayed for him... and probably done more.

Will you succeed where they failed?

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

Also, what's wrong with tattoos, huh?

Hi,

Tattoos ( :) :) :), but pretend you did not see this yet. Pretennd) are not only bad grammar and slang, they are a gross limitation on artistic freedom. Tat-tens, or Tat-forties is more appropriate. Instead Tat-twos now called tattoos by generations forgetting....(Okay, this now getting hard for me to continue this... :) :D ).... the original spelling have just added to the problem. What problem???? What if you used the wrong colors? What if you want to change that canvas???? And how do you display other works when the canvas if all filled up???? Huh?

Seriously now, it was hard to not comment for me, on your Ta-Two's statent. I hope this does not offend you.

Tattoos, I know nothing about.

LOVE,

Does God change his mind, depending on others praying?
I am not sure but I follow his word and he tells me to pray for others. What he dose with our prayers is his business. I would hope that our intersesoary prayers might help others.again it is for God to decide

Hi Paul1963,

And welcome. Welcome to the forums. Prayers are always a good idea. I think Catholicly, is it not true that if you pray for someone who is not worthy, God just shifts the effects of your prayers to someone that is worthy in God's eyes?

I do not know the answer to that yet. I will look it up.

LOVE,
