I think it goes back to the problem that American evangelicals in particular face is that their political ambitions and their deeply held religious beliefs and ethical beliefs are in conflict right now. So the things that will help them win politically will alienate people. So I heard a - recently I was doing reporting on another story. I heard a megachurch pastor. The first half the sermon was how terrible the liberals are. They're going to destroy your life, the first half. And then the second half was about their big evangelism campaign. And I thought, well, you have just told anyone who's not in your church that you don't like them.

That's alot of words to say "Christians are by definition hypocritical liars."

I do believe that he gets us, but, they are talking about getting the focus off of Xtian nationalism and back on Him, just while they continue to try to Implement Christian nationalism behind the scenes.

Too bad people never got his message.

There wouldn't be organized religion, TV "ministers", or anything that we now claim are holy.

The planet would be much better off.

A deeply cynical ad campaign. They paid some ad company to come up with kindly Christian ideas -- Jesus cares for the wounded and mistreated. Jesus cares for the refugees.

It's a good campaign, tbh. It's utterly cynical. They don't believe any of this shiat.

Jesus apparently does not 'get' me, because I have yet to be served one of these ads.  Maybe it's just location-based ruling out or something.

Re-reading the New Testament as an adult, a couple of decades after I stopped believing, I came to the conclusion that Jesus was a cult leader.  A folk-magic huckster cult leader with a narcissistic streak.  Yes, he had nice things to say about poor people, but all he actually offered them was populist post-apocalyptic revenge fantasies.

Churches that preach hate instead of love don't seem very Christian. That kind of rhetoric may harden the extremists to their corner but it turns off moderates who would rather just not go to that church anymore, or maybe stop going to church at all.

The what? I feel sorry for anyone in the USA who hasn't developed built-in ad block. I just tune out advertising.

It's like in Black Mirror everyone had AR glasses, and you could just turn off someone, and that person would just appear like static and anything they say blocked. My life is like that. When I read the newspaper (yes, I'm the one person who gets an actual paper delivered) ads get blocked at a subconscious level. The conscious mind just knows there's no content on that space.

Most of my exposure to advertising is the 2 weeks before the Owl, and that's not even to the ads themselves. It's mostly the people talking about ads, like TFA.

Anyway, I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't developed that. I kinda assumed most people did. Doesn't all that advertising drive you nuts?
