An Ohio woman is steaming after reading an anti-God message published on the side of a Starbucks coffee cup.
The message that got Michelle Incanno's blood boiling reads:
"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 the power to overcome? After all, we are strong enough to cause most of the catastrophes we need to endure."

Easy solution - quit buying Starbucks overpriced crap.
and spur discussion
What? Oh, never mind.
To date, Starbucks has gotten $0.00 from me.
Ditto that!
Aaahhh, freedom of speech. Most of disagree with the notion that God is a figment of our imagination. There is a statement at the bottom of each of the cups that states that they aren’t endorsed, etc by Starbucks. To say that Starbucks is anti-God is silly. This would mean that all the people from corporate on down are anti-God and I don’t think this is the case. Nor would it be a good business practice to alienate customers. We should not be so thin skinned.
Fair enough on the thin-skinned, but if they want to chase customers, they’ve found a good place to start.
Its crap, why would anybody drink tarbucks? QT is ten times better and alot cheaper.
We should not be so thin skinned.
Hm-m-m-m, it is an indication of one of the following:
1. Someone at Starbucks’ management is not keeping their eye on things
2. Someone at Starbucks’ wanted that message to get out
Would they have let a message along the lines of the following appear: “Slavery is in the mind of the beholder”
It is because we are cognitive beings that we believe in God.
I am betting that a snail doesn’t have a concept of God. Then again, I could be wrong.
I’ll take Tim Hortons over Starbucks any day. In fact, I dont think I’ve ever bought at Starbucks.
This just bolsters my decision. Let the little socialist coffee shop get by on what the libs buy.
HA, hardworking, great point.
Does starbucks have quotes from Ronald Reagan?
Phylis Shafley? (sp sorry)
Rush Limbaugh?
Dobson?
If they want to be enlighted then they shoudl have conservative quotes too.
I like 7-11 coffee better.
What’s QT?
I will agree if they would put an anti-homosexual quote on their cups or a pro Jesus one. They may have. I don’t drink coffee so I don’t know.
Our coawfee machine is beclempt. I’ll give you a topic. God is for dummies. Discuss amongst yourselves.
