Wow. I've searched and searched and couldn't find anything that suggests his Christian upbringing had anything to do with the OK City bombing. He was an avowed agnostic and he never used religion to justify any of his crimes. But perhaps you found something I missed. If so, please share because one of us is having some fairly serious ignorance issues it seems.

He only stated that the day before he was put to death.

Christians aren't happy unless they are nailing themselves to some cross so they can moan to passersby about how persecuted they are. Someone in the urinal cake business needs to create a seasonal line of Christmas Cakes for everyone to piss on.

:biggrin:

So, let me get this straight... we're now COMPLAINING that Starbucks isn't putting a Christmas message on their cups in early November?

Good for them! People shouldn't be putting out Christmas decorations until after Thanksgiving, dammit!

Trump says maybe we should boycott Starbucks and that he's going to cancel the lease of the Starbucks in one of his buildings ... but it's just a few fringe Christians and it's really only the people attacking Christianity that are blowing this out of proportion.

Perhaps you just read the headline and missed when he said about the Starbucks cup controversy:

Trump said:
"Maybe we should boycott Starbucks. I don't know," he said. "Seriously, I don't care."

Again, learn some perspective. Show us that you are capable of actually understanding the world beyond the headlines. You continue to be further proof of my original assessment of this situation

The Left seems to be making a bigger deal about this than the Right, based on all of the news sources I've been listening to. This "War on Christmas" meme has turned into a dog whistle on both sides of the aisle.

I know it's completely anecdotal, but I have several conservative Christian friends on FB and NONE of them are even remotely bothered by the cups. In fact, some really like them and write their own messages on the cups. They're using it as an opportunity to be creative in a positive sense. As for me? Mocha ado about nothing.

He also said that he's cancelling Starbucks lease in one of his buildings over it.

Yet another example of 0 outrage before the media runs the story. I like to think there is a dark room below Acme Media Corp with weasels churning out faux outrage stories.

Shouldn't the OP read:

"The War on Saturnalia: [Starbucks]"?

That's more accurate, and Starbucks hates the deity Saturn.

If this is an issue for ANYONE...they need to get their heads out of their asses. It must be dark in there!

It is pretty clear; buffoons such as yourself have downplayed this issue - yet, there is clearly rage over it, as it is year after year.

We've provided plenty of examples of the Right losing it's shit over this and you continue to downplay it.

You know you are wrong in saying it is not a big deal. But, you keep at it. And it is because you are no different that the short sighted buffoons who scream oppression and hate over a red coffee cup.

The Great Right Dope rages on, and on and on and on.

Buffoons extrapolate minutia and then rage about it. You have no intellectual high ground here. You constantly project and have no clue you're doing it.

The developer drew loud cheers when he called for a boycott of Starbucks after the coffee company dropped the words "Merry Christmas" from its annual holiday cups, and said the prospect of taking in Syrian refugees could amount to a "Trojan Horse" for the Islamic State.

Don't really give a shit about the cup but he nailed it on taking on Syrian refugees. That makes utterly no sense at any level. If it were up to me, anyone who supports a religious theocracy would automatically be barred from potential citizenship in the United States. Theocracies are a relic from the dark ages and are a clear and present danger to secular democracies. Trump is really starting to win me over.

First, note that my link posted the "maybe" part. But then he also commented about a Starbucks in his building "that's the end of that lease, but who cares?" Clearly HE cares. He's talking about it, he's floating the idea of a boycott, he's talking about cancelling a lease of Starbucks. He can say "I don't care" but he very clearly does. It wasn't anti religion people that made this go viral, it was evangelicals. And you can get mad all you want that right wing Christians in this nation are becoming more radical and disturbed, but no matter how much you choose to ignore it, you know it's happening.

So should we just revoke the citizenship of like a quarter of Republican voters under your system or what?
