Christians-Will you ever go to startbucks again after finding out the antiGod messages they are leaving on cup

Question

This goes beyond evil. Don't you feel like throwing your cup of coffee or hot chocalate in thier face?I will refuse to go there anymore expecially what I have been hearing about their anti God slogans. Pretty low if you ask me. You can see satan is at work, but not for long.

Answer 1

I wouldn't go to Starbucks in the first place, but as far as I have heard, there is only one cup invovled. The quote includes the thought that we're not even sure God exists, or something similar.

First, I am a Christian, and I think you should boycott if you feel strongly about it. However, I don't think Christians are put in a very good light when they try to shut down free speech. Starbucks has also used quotes that you would approve of, including one from a bishop.

Answer 2

God or Satan, you see them only as a reflection in humans.
When you say anti-God, what do you mean?
You mean they are against God, do not believe in God or do not accept God even they believe in the existence of God.
How about the Buddhist? They do not talk about God. They do not interfere with those who believe in God and they do not criticise those who believe or do not believe in one God or many Gods. They just live a good life, not hurting the feelings of his fellowmen or inflict no physical pains on all living beings but cultivate good karmas for their own salvation.
Would a Buddhist acts violently, throw away a cup at the owner for the simple reason that it has anti-Buddhist sentiments?
Where do we draw a line where God is or where Satan is?
Why must we just listen to the religious leaders?
Do we have a mind of our own to think independently in the way God want us and not what the religious leaders want us to think?
Just think deeply and you have the right answer which is always there imprinted by God!
Sorry, I am not a Christian, not a Muslim and not a Buddhist.

Answer 3

I don't know why you are upset about such messages, because after you drink the coffee, the message will go with the cup to the garbage. Right? At least that's where I always put the coffee cup after I drink the coffee. I don't read the messages nor I take the cup home as a souvenir.

Answer 4

Starbucks regularly prints a variety of quotes from a variety of sources with many different points of view. The intent, I believe, is to get you to think and to generate dialog. Some of the quotes which they have printed on cups have been from Christian writers. The company itself, as far as I can tell, does not endorse one particular opinion over another. They give all sides equal time. And, I believe they even printed a quote from a Christian that really peezd off those of us who believe in evolution. So, don't take this too personally. Starbucks is not anti-Christian. They just print thought provoking quotes on their cups -- some cups are Christian, some are Atheist, and some are from many different points of view.

Answer 5

I like Starbucks although its expensive. But i would still get my coffee from there. What proof do you have besides the cup? I have never seen nor heard anything bad on their cups. If there was anything bad on the cups or being anti-God then it would have been all over the news by now.

Answer 6

I don't go to Starbuck's anyway - there isn't one handy here, but I think the quotes need to be looked at in context. Would you approve of this one for example?

Darwinism’s impact on traditional social values has not been as benign as its advocates would like us to believe. Despite the efforts of its modern defenders to distance themselves from its baleful social consequences, Darwinism’s connection with eugenics, abortion and racism is a matter of historical record. And the record is not pretty.
-- Dr. Jonathan Wells
Biologist and author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design.

Maybe you could use the cup you saw as an opportunity to discuss God and evangelise.

Cheers :-)

Answer 7

“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.”

That makes a lot of sense to me. I like it, I mean I think its stupid that some people cannot accept that humans so far, are the most powerful beings the universe has ever seen [at least which we have evidence for]. I don't understand the inferiority complex some people have that brings them to their knees infront of something that might not exist. You can believe in God all you want but fact is, you don't know he exists, no one does.

I think I'm going to go into Starbucks more often.

Answer 8

What messages? Tell me some of them...

I went to their website and found that they have a message from Jimmy Carter, one of the finest Christians around...

Peace is more than just the absence of war. People everywhere seek an inner peace that comes from the human rights to voice their views, choose their leaders, feed their families and raise healthy children.

-- Jimmy Carter
Nobel Peace Prize laureate, former U.S. president and founder of The Carter Center, which works to advance peace and health worldwide.

Are you nuts or what?

Answer 9

I probably won't although if we stop patronizing every establishment that is antiGod we won't have much to go to...any store that has scantily clothed models is also in the face of God.....its getting pretty bad out there....but we have to keep in the race as Paul says.

Answer 10

Their coffee is crap anyway! Even if I ask for a Mocha, the bitterness of the coffee is more like a robusta bean-- low grade, and not like an arabica bean which is better in taste.

I think that they are the bggest ripoff next to gas prices.
