"NO WINNING"

11/18/15 The News-Dispatch & The Herald-Argus

It seems like everybody is itching to be offended these days so they can play the victim and win attention. Such is the case with a pastor who has been trying to whip up a media frenzy against the coffee company Starbucks for having a plain red cup during this year's Christmas/holiday season. I think I spell out pretty clearly in this cartoon why there is no winning no matter what the company would put on their cups...do they really want people treating religious scenes like trash to dispose of? Plus the minister is praising purely secular Christmas imagery, when it is also vilified by those of the "War On Christmas" mindset. As a believer who does appreciate the religious aspect of Christmas, but is turned off by the commercialism and hype surrounding Christmas, I still am thankfully able to see through the ravings of ignorant people wanting to be offended.
