WTF is the deal with just about every Starbucks cup lately being anti-religion?
For example cup #247 written by Bill Scheel a customer from London, Ontario: "Why in moments of crisis do we ask God for strength and help? As cognitive beings, why would we ask something that may well be a figment of our imaginations for guidance? Why not search inside ourselves for a power to overcome? After all, we are strong enough to cause most of the catastrophies we need to endure."
It's as if the folks selecting the topics for the cups are either trying to generate controversy, or have some huge bias against organized religion? Of course they include a disclaimer that it is the author's opinion only.
There are plenty of other topics out there to emblazon on a damn Starbucks cup, yet each morning I'm treated to "heaven is overrated" or some other such writing stating, hey you follower- you can't think for yourself.
Well I'm about to "think for myself" and quit buying their product if they insist on continually touting a negative bias against religion. I'm all for various viewpoints and open discussion, but the one sided flow of anti-religious crap is getting old for this daily customer.
Put anything else on there- history, poetry, art, damn- anything but a continual anti-religion message.
If they were smart, they would run a page at a time of a new book that you could only read on their cups, or maybe an unreleased chapter of a popular book created just for their marketing. What do I know though
