While I am Christian, I wouldn't really be offended, after all it said RIGHT THERE on the cup that it is a quote from a customer and that it wasn't necessarily the opinion of Starbucks, so they were remaining neutral. But I'm sure that if another cup said something totally opposite on it some atheist would get all up in arms about it as well...

Nah, atheists are used to seeing religious stuff all over the place. I must see the words "In God we trust" at least ten times a day.

Well, seeing as no intelligent person would write like that and expect to be taken as credible, I figured that I'd give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you weren't stupid enough to write that way on purpose. I will cheerfully acknowledge that it appears I was wrong there.Originally posted by: tealk

100% agree withthe women who was offended. That is not right, and wrong. I run a small bizz and if I ever put somthing on my priduct I would be DAMN sure I agree with it. Not right, and wrong, 100% Write them emails, and complain. Good for her.
Perhaps if you can formulate a cogent response someone will take you seriously, but as it is you haven't established a rational basis for your position.

A coffee cup should not be the medium for a person's opinion. People of differing opinions may also drink coffee, and thus be exposed to opinions that don't fit their world-view. Corporations like the coffee company in question are required to refrain from offending people and to avoid presenting any opinion whatsoever besides the logical "our product is good". This is to be expected, as it protects the opinions that are obviously more justified and it preserves objectivity and free will. The woman was quite justified in her rejection of said corporation.

Why???
She believes in Christ.... she is apparently right and needs to be compensated for others questioning her super strong faith.
I think there's a little bit of difference between somebody questioning your faith ("Why do you believe what you believe? What has led you to this point?") and making an indirect insult ("You're an idiot because you believe in something that's a figment of your imagination.") I'm not necessarily going to start buying exclusively Tully's coffee because of this but I don't really think that particular quote was the best way to promote open, respectful conversation among a wide variety of individuals.

Offensive words on a cup
was included on the cup as part of an effort by the company to collect different viewpoints and spur discussion.
