I think y'all need to get down here and lend me a hand since you sure do have time enough to look at that stuff.
No offense, but I am serious......
It's a satire news site; 100% not real, like the Onion. I am not offended.
Ahh... I love satire and the picture is funny but, it quickly becomes unfunny because, the text which follows is the same old tired, imaginary stereotypes of evil Christians. Mainstream Christians are just as ridiculous in their outrage of meaningless and irrelevant crap. Ya know what? Instead of just being a critic I'm gonna write a better version.
Stay tuned.
Starbucks Announces New Design for Wiccans.
Starbucks Spokesunit N.O. Gender said in a brief press release "Starbucks is proud to announce a new design for the Wiccan celebration of Yule with the ancient symbol of the horned god. This is in keeping with the Starbucks continuing commitment to diversity and inclusion" The announcement was celebrated by United Wiccans of America's Chief Witch Bromwyn Spagnum Moss who said "Yule is a great day of celebration that Pagans have held on the winter solstice for thousands of years. Even during the great persecution by Christians during of the 1980's when our feelings were hurt and some of us even cried". An Association of Christian Boycotters representative said "Starbucks has been on our boycott list for years" and declined further comment. Determined to be fair and balanced we contacted the Reverend Richard Heydrich of the Christian Identity Church for a typical Christian perspective, he raged "the Bible says 'thou shalt not suffer a witch to live' and that goes for the...racial and gender slurs...kill 'em all". The White House denied any knowledge of the Christian Identity Church...more Trump lies. Adam Schiff has promised to investigate.
Yeah...that'll do.
Hah! That last line! I'm glad we have someone like you, Iain, to tackle this stuff in this forum.
Honestly, though, Babylon Bee is more sympathetic to religious and right of center sensibilities. They make fun of caricatures created by lefties, and I think this article falls under that in a roundabout way. Or I'm just completely wrong about it all. Always possible.
Thanks Jay, you are most generous, I had never heard of Babylon Bee until you mentioned it so, I thought to myself "what would VICE do?". The BB satire sure gave me Lefty vibes and I didn't read anything else. Oh my, oh my. I must have a BQ of 160! If my Bigotry Quotient gets any higher THEY will force me into one of their secret reeducation camps, they may say they are FEMA temporary shelters but, we all know what they are.

Yeah, those FEMA camps are all over the place! (sarcasm) I can't forget how there was an alleged FEMA camp hidden just a couple of miles from my home. I went out there to look it over. It's the remains of a neighborhood just off the end of the Tinker AFB main runway where a couple of planes crashed. So the USAF bought out the whole place, tore down the houses and left the streets. The trees and underbrush have overgrown a lot, but the Zoomies use it as a training area. You can see almost all of it from one angle or another, and the place has maybe two actual buildings and a half-dozen temporary structures. There is nowhere near the kind of fencing or barriers needed to contain a bunch of detainees, nor is there a good place to put such a facility. It was part of my Military Police training to know about POW camps and such. It would take weeks of feverish bulldozing and digging just prepping that for a detainment camp.

It's really not your fault. Modern online discourse can have multiple layers of sarcasm and satire. It's hard to know what's really being mocked. To wit, my daughter informed me last week that "cringe culture" has fallen out of fashion and it's okay to "relike" things that you did when you were younger.
The mind boggles.

Joke alert.
Ed, don't you know that the tearing down of these structures was cover for building an secret underground lab for storing LGBTQX Virus. The elites are planning on releasing the virus in early 2020 to turn all men gay so they will vote for Democrats. The added benefit of population decline will save the planet. The elite white males will be inoculated thereby preserving the Patriarchy, who will then enjoy large harems of underage girls or goats, pigs, chickens, favas beans etc. From each according to his net worth, to each according to his depravity.
