No, and pointing out hypocrisy on the left has no effect.
They’re immune to being shamed by such logical conclusions.

I'm always amazed at the militant atheists that say, “Don't cram your religion down my throat!”

Yet public schools cram atheism down the throats of students daily. It seems like 90% of all media is on the side of atheism.

Pot meet kettle.

If it were not for double-standards, the left would have no standards.

Why bother “shaming” them. That’s to play on the world’s level which ends in vanity anyhow.

I don’t know why uplifting and godly messages couldn’t be added to Chik-Fil-A and Hobby Lobby packaging. Why not propose this to those entities.

Aldi’s discount value grocery prints a biblical praise to God on the inside cover of its egg packages, just wondering if anyone has noticed. They have done it for many years. Somehow they don’t get boycotted to death by atheists.

It’s the false claim of “neutrality” on the part of the Humanists.

You’ll get a LOT of pushback if you make the assertion that their worldview, based on Humanism, is indeed a religion that should fall under the same criteria as they apply to Christianity,

if they were to be consistent, which they can’t be.

A point to be made is that what Starbucks did became a public relations disaster. Despite its awful quality, coffee is what people go to Starbucks for. Few people looking for as great chicken sandwich are happy to get a lecture, sermon or whatever this messaging might be.

Sometimes, it is a caricature of faith that the media hates.

There are companies that do very similar things. In-n-out burger is one example - they print bible verses on their cups and other food packaging.

Of course they can. But, it was a bad idea for Starbucks (”STFU and give me the coffee in a clean cup.”), and it will be a bad idea for the other firms, because it interferes with service, and intrudes into the customer’s personal space. IMHO, of course.

Leftist wackos are obsessed with changing society. They are convinced that all Whiteys are racist.

“If Starbucks Can Preach About Race, Can Chick-fil-A, Hobby Lobby Preach About Christian Values?”

No. Because in a facist/soviet state, you’re only allowed and approved to spew what they permit.

You all think you live in a free Republic, right? LOL

The left says you can’t discriminate. Unless its against Christians.

In-N-Out burgers puts Bible verses on it drink cups,at least they did the last time I had In-N-Out (one of small handful of things I miss about CA).

And who died and made the “mess media” king.

They will be such royalty only for as long as they get treated that way by the people. The people do have the right to say no! And there would be a lot of shock, horror on the media’s part but in the end they would bend to the new state of affairs or go extinct.

No. They can’t.

You can only preach if you are espousing the liberal view of some issue. So you can preach that you are in favor of homosexuality and homosexual marriage, but not in opposition.

Ditto any other issue, such as global warming. We are allowed to preach about the dangers of global warming and saving the polar bears, but are now allowed to preach in opposition to the hysteria we hear on that subject.

For as long as they are treated as kings.

It’s time to stop treating them as kings. They’ll be horrified, but they will soon realize their bluff has gotten called.

"Don't preach at me!" shriek the guardians of secular culture when someone suggests their belief systems might lead to disaster and their moral theories to disease and death. I don't know about you, but I get preached at by the preachy culture constantly.

Exactly right - and sick of it.

“Liberalism” is a ploy: talk about tolerance, imputing malice on those who “aren’t tolerant” until your POV goes from un-tolerated to tolerated to enough influence to seize control, then legislate it as the norm and proceed to ban/punish/destroy what was the norm the self-describe “Liberals” didn’t like. It’s a tool, not an axiom.

Freedom of speech for them, but not for you.
