How do you feel about this quote, one of the many quotes you can currently find on the coffee cups at Starbucks locations?
"Why in moments of crisis do we ask God for strength and help? As cognitive beings, why would we ask something that may well be a figment of our imaginations for guidance? Why not search inside ourselves for the power to overcome? After all, we are strong enough to cause most of the catastrophes we need to endure."
Starbucks customer Michelle Incanno hates it, and she has decided she can't go to Starbucks anymore.
Is the woman overreacting, or is Starbucks to blame because they put a controversial quote on the cup? The quote isn't endorsed by the company, but they did OK it to go on there. The quote doesn't seem anti-God to me, necessarily, it seems more pro-take responsibility for yourself.
And regular Starbucks customers: are there other quotes on the cups that are the opposite of this view so it all evens out? How many quotes does Starbucks have on their cups?
