Coffee with Jesus

God and Jesus with your coffee? What next?

As the number of bums on pews continues to diminish, Kirk God botherers in Scotland are taking their message to Starbucks and Costa outlets.

It’s an imposition. If you go into a coffee shop and pay whatever inflated price you pay for a cup of probably substandard coffee, you want to be able to sit and sip it with your friends or your book or newspaper. Do you then want an effective change in your unwritten contract with the coffee shop when it allows nutcases to come in and preach to you?

The message is simple: if you don’t want to be bothered by Jesus fans, avoid Starbucks and Costa and take your money elsewhere.

Post a Comment

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.

We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.

Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.

Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
