Why are people freaking out over a red cup when there's so many other issues going on in the world??

Those people freaking out about a red cup being a war on Christmas are evangelical god warrior nut cases who are constantly freaking out about something they can feel persecuted about because that's what they do. Rolls eyes

although I don't frequent starbucks, I don't get it either, looks more like a pagan queen on their cup(s), it just seems in todays society, EVERYONE wants to be heard so they complain at the drop of a hat...15 minutes ya know, truly there are far more important issues to actually try and do good for...seems anything will upset and bind panties these daze...I shall not let this hinder my journey and you shouldn't either, I know He'd rather have me Sharing His Truth & Promises, I am not of this world:-) I'm "in" it alright but I will not conform to it...my Grandpa told me Long ago, we must choose our battles, and this red cup thingy, not it lol;)

I am almost positive Starbucks either invented this controversy or made sure it went viral. They are getting a ton of free advertising and people buying coffee to spite the protesters. Even the proposed Christian "protest" was to go buy coffee and make the barista write merry Christmas on the cup. It's all way too perfect for it not to be contrived.

Because they're afraid of coming up with their own thoughts, because they've become so conditioned to having pre-printed Christmas Wishes telling them how to think. It's scary thinking on your own for the first time.

Because some Christians don't feel as revolutionary about the things of God. So they put that emotion into worthless things like Starbucks cups. Christmas. Easter. Things Jesus never brought up.

If you read about the ecumenical councils, you will see that pattern in church history. They typically argued about things God never brought up. Some people would lose their livelihood, their freedom, and their lives over what ecumenical councils decided.

See, spiritually speaking, some Christians never learn from the past because the mistakes of the past are actually promoted. They remain spiritual babies, they whine and fuss about coffee cups in holiday seasons.

It's not many people, it's the news in the USA.

The news channels in the USA are not about news, only about ratings. Ratings sell advertisements. So, they focus on controversy. People seem to really enjoy controversy. And what easier way to stir up controversy than to constantly, constantly, constantly focus on stupid people with an opinion.

I really wish this entire planet would stop focusing so much on stupid people's opinions.

There are very many more important things they could be worrying about, like the pedophilia epidemic in their churches. But dealing with problems like that are unpleasant for them and would require their admitting that they have a problem. They prefer to insist that problems like that don't exist.

The red cups give the something to worry about that is not the result of their own immorality and they have never been adverse to looking like idiots.

The cup is red and the logo is green. Those are the Christmas colors. Starbuck's is enforcing Christian religion by making people drink out of Christmas colored cups. Somebody should call the Atheist Commie Lawyers Union, and sue them for violating separation of church and state.

Everyone knows that the color of a Starbucks cup is a bigger issue that our loss of freedom by corrupt government. If we lose our freedoms to tyranny, we will still be able to drink out of a decently colored cup.

Religion is about "ME", no more than that. a personal way to avoid personal accountability.

Just imagine the good that would ensue if all resources that ate wasted on religion were put to positive use! Instead of the negativity that religion promotes.

The red cup fiasco calls attention to THEMSELVES, not to any real problem, or solution for same.

There is so much more wrong to address, but you know, christian priorities and all....
