Bible Barista bother...

Remember back in 2015 when Starbucks got themselves into hot-water from Christian nutters who felt their "festive-red" cups simply weren't Jesus'y enough, it was a source of much chatter among the twittering classes. Anyway, since then they've tried to come up with cup designs that were less controversial, and failed miserably, those of us on the secular side of this realised quite early on that the religious side was NEVER going to be happy no matter what they put (or didn't put) on their cups but for giggles here are the various objections over the years, summarized into a list.

2015 - Plain red, was not Jesus'y enough, clearly a war on Christmas.
2016 - A mosaic of 100 people drawn in a continuous stroke - clearly an attack on Christian values spearheaded by a company hell-bent on promoting a liberal-bias.
2017 - Snowflakes and a pair of holding hands - obviously gay
2018 - Four separate designs, what could possibly go wrong..?

I have a suggestion to keep these Christians happy, how about different Bible verses on the cups, what could they possibly object to? Here's my suggestion for the first one..


This is just my first suggestion, they go down-hill after this, probably enough to put you off your latte... :)
