Okay, so here’s the deal.  A bunch of Super DeLux Brand Christians are all martyred-out over Starbuck’s holiday cups.

In the past, Starbucks has always had a holiday cup. It generally had holly, snowflakes, a winter scene, or a generic ornament.

Just for pure meanness, the folks at Starbucks went minimalist this year with a plain red cup.  No snowflakes. No holly. No kidding.

Apparently, Jesus approved of the cup design in years past, but now he doesn’t. In fact, he’s telling his posse to tell the Starbuck’s people that their name is Merry Christmas, forcing those overpaid baristas to write Merry Christmas on the cups so that they meet Jesus Standards of Control. Jesus is very passive aggressive.

I, myself am wondering why snowflakes signify Jesus. I am also wondering why Jesus gets pissed off at anything that doesn’t make him the center of attention. But mostly, I am wondering why Super DeLux Brand Christians want to reduce Jesus to cardboard coffee cups.

With all the Merry Christmas people taking to Twitter to express their outrage over Starbucks punishing them for their love of Jesus, one person found a handle on truth and decided to wave it around.

Amen.

Thanks to Bubba for the heads up.
