Christians can't drink Starbucks coffee
« on: June 04, 2013, 05:28:55 pm »
Why you ask?

Because Starbucks supports gay marriage

Quote
Coffee-drinking Christians, take note: There's apparently "no way" a truly righteous Christian can drink Starbucks beverages.

At least, that's the opinion of former evangelical pastor and conservative activist David Barton, whose May 19 sermon on pious caffeine consumption was recently posted online.

Speaking at Whitesburg Baptist Church, Barton said that Starbucks was "pouring money" into the destruction of traditional marriage, according to video of the speech.

"The question is, 'Can a Christian give money to a group he knows will use it to attack what God supports?'" Barton said. "If you know that when you buy a cup of Starbucks, 5, 10, 15 cents is going to be used to defeat marriage, can you do that? The answer is 'no.'"

And I'm actually fine with this.  I really am.  This is the same way we decided to protest Chi-fil-Ah's abhorrent practices of supporting anti-gay organizations.  I love protesting with the wallet because it sends a clear cut message to a company that what they do with their money might be disagreeable.  There's one issue with this.

Starbucks is the biggest coffee chain in the world.

Speaking for my brother Fyrenn on this one:  "Yeah, screw this guy, I need my caffeine.  I don't care what they're for or against, as long as I have my coffee"

... did I mention he's a conservative Christian and pretty set on most issues?

I'm surprised it's taken this long--after all, it was more than two months ago that Starbucks told its investors to take their money elsewhere if they objected to its support of gay marriage that much.

Now if we can only get all the OTHER coffee providers to support gay marriage, the conservatives will be forced to either compromise their principles or stop drinking coffee altogether, which will lead to the GOP political machine grinding to a halt!

I fail to see how they are "defeating marriage" by giving people marriage rights.

BUT DON'T YOU SEE?! MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN, NOT A MAN AND A MAN AND A WOMAN AND A WOMAN! GOD MADE IT THAT WAY! NOW MEN CAN'T MARRY WOMEN AND VICE VERSA ANYMORE WHEN WE GIVE THOSE FAGGOTS AND DYKES THE RIGHT TO VIOLATE THEIR ANUSES AND HAVE ABORTIONS!

Now that I'm done with Fundie-speak, I don't get it either, outside that bullshit Black and White logic.

LOOOOOOOVE IT!

I gotta make a meme-type graphic with that two-sexed, two-headed dragon name Zak & Wheezie from Dragon Tales. The female side always goes "LOOOOOOOVVVVEEE IT!". I can put it up as a stock response to something I really dig.

Waddaminitt...I've now made it!

Behold the mighty Gay Cooties! So powerful, so concentrated, so contagious, that christians cannot even drink coffee at Starbuck's, or the mighty gay cooties will possess them and send them to hell. Or something like that. The Mighty Gay Cooties will spoil marriage forever. The cooties are so potent, they even demonize the printed word, Marriage....see? It's turned gay :o

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

I thought christians couldn't drink Starbucks because of the naked mermaid on the cups. Huh.

Earlier this week I was reading a fundie blog claiming that men sharing a bottle of soda with a gay man could turn gay because they'd get accustomed to the taste of same-sex saliva.

I presume the same principle applies to coffee.

I will then assume it applies to ice cream and that I shall turn into a dog next cause I shared some with my puppy. Not by my choice. She stole it. I was just too lazy to get new ice cream.

while this does make me giggle, I still won't go to Starbucks for one simple reason.
