You may be onto somthing. While I am not defending some of these actions by Christians, especially concerning stupid coffee cups. I just can't help but notice these reports coming out leading up to Thanksgiving & Christmas that are attacking Christians. It's ironic Christians are being attacked for being stupid with ths Starbucks story, crazy concerning Harry Potter, and mean(the lacking empathy story). I'm not jumping to conclusions but it is really ironic all this demonizing of Christians around the holidays. You make fascinating observations, I'll pay more attention to your posts.I have a question: Does anyone actually personally know another Christian who really has their panties in a twist about this cup thing? This week in particular I've noticed a real increase in the two prong attack on Christians/Christianity promoting the believe that people of faith are 1) stupid, 2) bad.
Besides this silly cup story - there's also a story in the news about some nut saying we need to repent of watching Harry Potter movies, and another one saying children of Christians are lacking in empathy. Yet, when I stop and think about it - I can't think of one Christian who actually cares about the cup thing. I am coming to believe that the story is a complete fabrication, or the guy who made the original YouTube video made it specifically so there could be a news story about it to make Christians look bad. The Harry Potter story - more of the same. Christians lacking in empathy? Seriously? Go out and find me a homeless shelter that isn't run by some variety of Christian.
Who is benefiting from promoting and repeating these stores? Not us. No, this is all a pre-cursor of things to come. Society needs to believe we are bad/stupid/insert some other bad thing here - before they can start really persecuting us.
