I love this qoute from the very end of the article: "Sometimes it's so vulgar that it's not particularly good for religion," Mr. Novak said. "But if religion is in everything, it has to be in the vulgar stuff, too."http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PaganWarrior/

5. It is part of the Way I see it series.. |
|
and there are dozens of other nonreligious quotes being used as well.. you can go to their website and read one. I think one out of over 60 isnt pushing religion down anyone's throat.. but that's just me.

6. This isn't a deal breaker for me |
|
I prefer they wouldn't try to capitilize on the booming business of Christianity, but I don't care enough to switch brands. Now if the company were to go red, that's a different story.

7. this has been hashed to death here |
|
Starbucks is putting quotes on their coffee cups
some people have gotten upset because the company is putting bible quote on them
well, the RW fundies got their panties into a twist because the company also used a Armistead Maupin quote about being gay
someone at Baylor, which I guess has a Starbucks on campus, told the company that they wouldn't allow the Maupin cups to be used in their store
