summary: The consumer advocacy organization Faith Driven Consumer wants to help conservative Christians discover which companies share the same values that they do. Within two weeks of the Starbucks inncident, the Christian consumer advocacy group Faith Driven Consumer (FDC) seized upon the mini-controversy as a chance to promote its latest product, the faith equality index, which rates companies based on their "faith-friendliness." In early November, the organization issued a press release announcing that Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme were more faith-friendly than Starbucks, and that consumers ought to buy coffee there instead
Until the brainwashed masses contain their holiday to the single day that is supposed to be the actual holiday, and not expand it into a two or three-month public orgy of consumerism accompanied by constant, unnerving, unwanted, discriminatory displays of cultish symbolism and horrible, simplistic, ear-splitting, mind-numbing "music," they don't get to complain about anything.The war is on those of us who can't stand your ridiculous holiday and want nothing to do with it. People should keep they’re ridiculous superstitions to themselves, and stop brainwashing future generations. Starbucks is a publicly traded company, whose reason for existence is returning money to its stockholders. Many Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and godless atheists drink coffee and will spend money for it. If Starbucks decides to pursue their business at the risk of losing yours and Trump's, that's to serve their investors. That's the free enterprise system.

ReplyDeleteThis makes no sense to me. So basically if someone doesn't care the same religion as them they just don't support it at all? I want to personally punch all these people in the face
I saw i protest sign once that is so perfect for this. It said something like... claiming that someone else's religion, sexual orientation, gender, etc is against your beliefs is like getting angry at someone for eating a donut because you are on a diet. Its so perfect!
ReplyDeleteIt's silly to think that people actually believe that having plain red cups are an attack on their religion. Like, seriously? Christmas is a DAY, not a month as some people seem to think! There are more serious issues they could be focusing on instead of something so trivial. Then again, that's none of my business. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
