A new volley in the War on Christmas™

[Tasty]

Evangelicals urged to flock to Dunkin’ for holiday coffee

“By creating cups that specifically message the Joy of the Christmas Season — in sharp constrast to Starbucks’ ‘blank canvas’ – Dunkin’ Donuts has specifically welcomed Faith Driven Consumers, and all Americans who love Christmas.”

Do these idiots have nothing better to do than this shit, Jesus.

(Dunkin is better anyways tho. )

I prefer to maintain a baseline game instead of running to the net, can Starbucks respond to the volley with a backhand?

[brawndolicious]

Christianity is a very visual religion to be fair. 

[Mr. Gundam]

No Dunkin out in Starbucksland. Boohoo.

Jesus would've wanted corporations to use his birthday as a way to sell more consumer goods. That was pretty clear in the Bible.

[Brehvolution]

What's in the cup isn't as important as what is on the outside. It's why evangelicals wear their jesus on the outside.

President Barack Obama’s Department of Veterans Affairs has banned employees at its facility in Salem, Virginia, from saying “Merry Christmas” to veterans.

It started as a broader ban that included Christmas trees. Federal law recognizes Christmas as an official federal holiday (5 U.S.C. § 6103) and provides federal employees with a paid day off to celebrate the Christian belief in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ.

Every year, a White House Christmas Tree and a Capitol Christmas Tree grace those two respective buildings in Washington D.C., and a National Christmas Tree is also officially lighted outdoors for the public to enjoy during that time of year.

Yet the “Executive Leadership Team” at the Salem VA Medical Center banned Christmas trees, as well as other Christian speech and celebrations.

The email also bars Christmas music, saying that if a supervisor has allowed an employee to have music in his workspace, such music must “be secular (non-religious).”

It's lol as heck when unchill religious bros write things like "a paid day off to celebrate the Christian belief in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ," because they wave it in your face that they believe that the stupidest shit possible actually happened and that that's like super important.

Typical left-winger who doesn't understand that Real Judeo-Christian Americans sit at home in quiet contemplation of the ramifications of that virgin birth and how it led to the greatest nation on Earth.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a Witness on conversion duty looking at their phone for a long time instead of sharing the good headcanon. You had one job!!!

It was Him on the other end.

UPDATE: A letter from the Salem VA Medical Center to all employees stating Christmas trees will not be allowed in public areas this holiday season ignites a debate. But, after a heated meeting Friday afternoon — management is going todeck the halls and light the tree after all.

Christmas trees have always been a part of Christmas at the Salem VA Medical Center.

For veteran Vicki Jackson, the tree symbolizes overcoming a hard time in her life.

“It brought me over a big hump, because Christmas is hard for me, it’s real hard for something that happened years ago,” said Jackson. “And, to see that tree gone it’s not Christmas.”

It’s not just Jackson; it’s a message that provoked Salem VAMC employees, veterans and others in the community.

And, after a closed meeting between management and up to 150 staff members; now, a tree will stand tall this holiday season at the Salem VAMC.

“It was very tense in there with the director and amongst the employees,” said Jckson. “I wasn’t supposed to be there, but I went anyhow.”

Surprising perhaps in light of the fact that today — even the White House is bringing in a tree for the holidays.

Regardless, Jackson like others are happy to have their tree back.

“It’s like going home and just to see that tree in the lobby is a god sent to me,” said Jackson.

Some veterans said a simple tree adds sparkle and cheer to a place some consider a second home.

In a statement the Salem VAMC public affairs officer said, “it was determined that Christmas trees could be displayed in public areas so long as they were accompanied by the respective symbols of the two other faiths that celebrate holidays during this holiday season – namely symbols commemorating Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.

disgusting

I know, they forgot to be inclusive of other symbols, like the Festivus Pole, Wookiee Life Day tree, and whatever symbols Satanists and Wiccans use to celebrate the Winter Solstice.

The hilarious bit is how much overwhelmingly popular the Wookiee Life Day holiday campaign would be in comparison to any of this other horseshit.

No Dunkin out in Starbucksland. Boohoo.

Like you drink Starbucks...
