#MerryChristmasStarbucks
The war on Christmas is heating up.
A coffee shop has changed its cup.
Politically correct by substitution.
Jesus said we’d face persecution.
No jazzy Santa? It just ain’t Christmas!
They changed their cups ’cause they hate Jesus.
They take our flakes, our scarves, our snowmen.
How can we ever celebrate without ’em?
A cup of red must be from Satan.
Now we all know who it is they’re hatin’.
No materialistic clutter? It just ain’t Christmas!
They changed their cups ’cause they hate Jesus.
The only way to get attention is rage,
But that’s the price of the digital age.
It makes no sense. It’s a vicious spiral.
But it don’t matter, now my video’s viral.
No kitschy cliches? It just ain’t Christmas!
They changed their cups ’cause they hate Jesus.
Never had Christian symbols but it don’t matter.
They’ve crossed the line, and I’m mad as a hatter
Even with an olive branch extended,
I reserve my right to be offended.
No festive reindeer? It just ain’t Christmas!
They changed their cups ’cause they hate Jesus.
So make real sure to decorate your houses,
Put ornaments on your kids and glitter on your spouses.
Cause if you don’t show you’re willing to celebrate,
Everybody’ll know who it is YOU hate!
No pagan trappings? It just ain’t Christmas!
They changed their cups ’cause they hate Jesus.
“I reserve my right to be offended.”
Made me smile Cameron. Then I (proverbially) cried.
It is sad. Especially when, as over the top as this thinking is, some people accepted it as serious and missed the point.
In so many areas of life people are out there making a conscious effort to find ways to be offended. Unfortunately some Christians have become experts at it.
Yes. Another example of our being conformed to our culture rather than transforming it.
