It seems like every year the Christian War on Christmas starts earlier and earlier. When I was a kid Christmas was all about Santa and Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman - it was a happy time. Now the Christians want to force their drat Jesus character into the mix, when there is nothing Christmas-related at all about that dude. He lived in a desert, for crying out loud! No wreaths or snowflakes or reindeer anywhere to be seen! Keep that Jesus guy out of Christmas!

During WW1, there was a Christmas Truce. Opposing sides came together and celebreated.


Now Starbucks is seeking to divide and destroy the spirit that brought The British and Germans together.

Why don't serious religious people ever get this worked up about holidays that actually matter to Christianity? Start protesting about the lack of Jesus coffee cups around Easter you fucks

Serious religious people don't care about this, it's more like Facebook republicans

I really want to be the marketing person who makes holiday design decisions for a company. I'd decorate my office like a little evil villain hq and everything.

Does america not have italians? Why is anyone buying their coffee at starbucks.

Also i agree with the op i skimmed through.

The idea of something as exotic and labor intensive as an espresso being sold for less than a dollar is antithetical to American Values.

It's not blasphemous to say that Christ died for our sins.

He added that Starbucks operates a store in one of his buildings and that "that's the end of that lease, but who cares?"

I know it'll never happen but I would love to see the publicity fallout if he goes and cancels their lease for not putting Christmas decorations on their cups or saying 'Merry Christmas'. Aside from the fact that it's completely illegal I just want to see a republican candidate explain forcing a business to close for not being Christian enough.
