Is this the kind of message Starbucks needs to send? They say they want to cause discussion, but isn't it really just their one-sided viewpoint? True discussion includes other viewpoints. But, it seems to me the only purpose of Starbuck’s new cups is to stir up anti-God feelings and showcase their corporate atheistic views. Was this a wise decision for Starbucks? How many times have church groups and God-believers met at this coffee bar? It seems that Starbucks is trying to offend all religious people. At least 75 to 80% of Americans believe there is a God.
If burnt coffee isn’t bad enough already, here’s another reason go elsewhere---
These are just two messages, Starbucks decided we all need to hear and printed on their cups:
"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."
“Heaven is totally overrated. It seems boring. Clouds, listening to people play the harp. It should be somewhere you can’t wait to go, like a luxury hotel. Maybe blue skies and soft music were enough to keep people in line in the 17th century, but Heaven has to step it up a bit. They're basically getting by because they only have to be better than Hell”. -- Joel Stein, columnist for the Los Angeles Times.
