Starbucks to print God quote on cups

Starbucks is printing cups emblazoned with quotes from writers, scientists, musicians, athletes, politicians, and others as part of a new marketing campaign. Best-selling Christian writer Rev. Rick Warren spotted a cup printed with brilliant paleoanthropologist Louise Leakey's words on evolution so he sent the company his own message about God. An article in USA Today doesn't mention the exact content of the quote, but reports that Starbucks has decided to print it on cups next year. The article also refers to the use of Christian messaging by In-N-Out Burger, Forever 21 (previous post here), and other companies. Link

UPDATED: BB reader Jason Coleman points the original USAToday.com article that includes Warren's quote:

"You are not an accident. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He wanted you alive and created you for a purpose. Focusing on yourself will never reveal your real purpose. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense. Only in God do we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance and our destiny." – The Rev. Rick Warren for Starbucks
