Pretty Snarky of you, see what I did there, I actually commented on something in your post, your handle.

Now lets look at my post

First, why does anyone go to star*ucks? Second considering the corporate leanings of star*ucks why in Gods name would anyone that is an actual Christian and not just a CINO contribute anything to star*ucks profits? I mean hell, you can buy burned crappy coffee anywhere, why by it where the CEO has told Christians to go *uck themselves?

Now did I say anything in my post about Christmas, no, I commented about crappy coffee and the anti Christian attitude of the company. You like Star*fucks? Good for you be happy buying overpriced crappy coffee, but stick with putting words in and out of your own mouth. Oh, I I know it's early but, MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and Star*ucks!

That was very Snarky of you! I applaud the post!

I was actually commenting on the post I inserted below. Where you do in fact mention “Holy Days” on a post discussing Starbucks and Christmas. Pretty easy to draw a line there. You then mention that “Christ is forbidden” at a place that sells Christmas Blend coffee. I just pointed out that none of these other companies even TRY to touch Christmas. And honestly, I could give a rats butt about a cardboard cup.... As I said, this whole thing made me laugh today due to the complete hypocrisy of it.

Your post below:

“Star*ucks, a place of sanctuary during the Holy Days, where atheists, communists, muzzies and satanists can be comfortable in an atmosphere where Christ is forbidden! Seriously is there no where else that otherwise intelligent people can buy burned crappy coffee for less money and drama?”

Starbucks coffee?

If I wanted to puke I’d go buy a bottle of ipecac.

Well yeah a sarcastic reference to Star*ucks being a place of refuge for for atheists, communists, muzzies and satanists(which one was too close to home?) on the Holy Days. The word Christmas you may note does not appear, nor is it the only Holy Days. Again drink the beverage from Star*ucks, be happy with the price point, I really don’t care, but try not to be so touchy, one would think you owned a great deal of stock in it. As an aside to your referencing other companies have had their CEO’s so publicly ridicule Christians and their beliefs.

It looks like Starbucks and far-left outlets like Fortune are collaborating to “gin up” a fake controversy as a marketing effort for Starbucks. Probably some payola exchanged like when Daily Mail reports on what the “stars” are wearing and then drops in banner ads showing where you can buy the same outfit.

Please understand that this was not an attack on you. The whole premise of this hypocritical post is really what I was attacking. That and the thought process communicated in many of the threads, that one company is to blame for the fall of American Religion.
Now, as you spin your word-play about Christmas not being the only Holy Day on a thread specifically concerning Christmas... and the slap as to “Which one was too close to home” when discussing my religious faith; that is a bit much. I did not nor will I slander you or your religious upbringing.
That wouldn’t be very Christian of me, would it?
