I agree with you.
And just what did you expect, going into a coffee house established by Christians for the express purpose of spreading Chrisitianity? You can't go to the Starbucks just across the street or any of the dozen or more coffee shops within walking distance? Who's forcing what on whom, genius boy? Maybe if you were as "intelligent" and "tolerant" as you claim to be, this wouldn't be a problem.
Advise to my daughter:
1) Never date a man who goes antique shopping with this mother.
2) Stay away from a man whose looking for a girlfriend who's "open minded". Chances are you're not that open minded.
My first thought too.
Ironically Starbucks has been pushing the homosexual agenda lately with some quotes on the sides of coffee cups.
Independent coffee shops are also prone to having agitprop periodicals available for "free".
All depends on who is doing the proselytizing I guess. Christians, bad. Liberals, homosexuals, etc. good.
The left can be quite preachy.
That's because you guys are my "Therapists," LOL! I'm 10 miles south of there, though I'm still stuck in a Blue county, overall. Aside from a few blue WI counties up close to the Twin Cities in MN, as well as Dane County and Milwaukee County being Blue, the rest of the state is nice and RED and pretty darn normal. :)
Yeah, a local shop I visited in Knoxville was THE hangout spot for teens. Live mostly Christian bands with some secular but positive acts, coffee, poetry, and all the usual cafe stuff.
No problems keeping the place Christian-oriented. I went to a concert with my little cousin and was shocked to see close to 200 people there. No other place really catered to teens like it did.
