I guess that would be like saying I am not coming on this forum anymore because all the views are not the same as mine

I think she needs to develop thicker skin. Oh well, at least she will save some money now.

Might as well tip my hand; I guess if I'd have to label myself; I'd be a Secular Humanist. I think religion is a wonderful thing; especially when not forced on others who don't want it. Frankly, I hope everyone who feels like her WILL boycott Starbucks; maybe I'll get thru the drive-thru faster!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they also have quotes from Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life book as well?

I don't know if I'd boycott starbucks over this - but I really don't think that the above quote would make my latte go down smooth.

Since Starbucks isn't touted as a "Christian" company, then why would someone be offended because they put something "unchristian" on there? And what about the poor Agnostics, Bhuddists, Muslims and Athiests who have had to read all the "Christian" qoutes??? Again, it's another symptom of our oh so "PC" society - we get offended over anything that is remotely offensive to us rather than acknowledging the differences, embracing and learning from them. It would be one heck of a boring world if we all thought and believed the same!!! There is more than one viewpoint on life, why we're here, who/what else is here with us, and I for one enjoy learning about the different viewpoints - doesn't mean I have to change to any of them.
