Can a coffee house be Christian? Hmm. Is it nominal, practicing, or devoted, I wonder? Perhaps it only thinks it's Christian because it is on the campus of a Christian college.

Or is it a house for Christian coffee? And seriously, it's weird enough having a coffee house calling itself Christian. How does coffee become religious? Do the beans have weekly chapel? Altar calls? If it's grown in South America, would that make the coffee Catholic? Would Catholic coffee be allowed? Would beans be asked to make some sort of profession of faith before being allowed to move in? How would Christian coffee justify its bitterness?

I'm just getting started here. Would evangelical coffee go on missions trips? Baptist coffee would be careful to only associate with the best-looking packaging. Calvary Chapel coffee would constantly talk about how it was saved from a life surrounded by drugs. Imagine the noise, though, when the coffees start discussing which of them is the freshest.

I could probably keep going, but my head is starting to hurt. This is nonsense. Can we please not engage in ridiculous marketing ploys? Please?
