United Church of Christ "Ejector" Ad

[damusicjunkie96]

i love this. this is exactly the sort of progressive, tolerant...ACCEPTING church i've been waiting for all my life. I believe that jesus accepts and loves everyone. No exceptions. :)

[gardnerwyatt92]

faith ucc did this



[sirtfs]

I am an Episcopalian, and in general we accept all of enter the church. I love this ad from the United Church of Christ. Thanks for posting.

[TheKageRyu]

This add always gives me a laugh when I see, and the mesage is so true... it directly points a finger at why I have turned away from my own religion. It shouldn't be controversial, it's being truthful.

[PaBoating]

I like

@LadyLillianContessa

Wow, I have no comment for this foolishness!

[KushKing99]

@LadyLillianContessa

Well, I am sure you wouldn't like Jesus because the people the world rejected he embraced; perverts, prostitutes, tax collectors and murders. The list of characters that he saved were no more superior than a sex preditor, bully or etc. People manufacture a Jesus without understanding his heart. (I guess many in the today's society would find JC as offensive as the Romans). JC said, "WHOSEVER will let them come...He said WHOSOEVER!!

[TheMisken]

why would anyone thumb down this video unless they're a bigot?

[armeny925]

@TheMisken No, they'd give them thumbs down for being false prophets. Read your Bible sometime and get the REAL message of Christ. Not some watered-down left wing crybaby bunk like what the UCC tries to pass off onthe world!

[EileenMcDargh]

I love this!!!

[abc1000001]

Ah, the United Church. So Christ-like attacking others' beliefs. At least unlike the United Church, the Christian Churches are not rejecting the Word of God.

[tapkae]

@abc1000001 Sounds like you're confused about the matter.

[movitmovit]

great add . well done.

[RealTime88]

@movitmovit I read about this church and used to see adds like this during commericals for Channel One news. I am considering going to this church, there is one on my area.

[wyzukee]

This ad is misleading to say the least...it leads one to believe that all Christian churches are the same (not Christ centered)...except this one of course, and that teaching others about their sin (homosexuality for ex. in this video) and a need for a Savior and a change of heart is a bad thing, and it focuses on the selfish thought of the sinful human nature and is very afraid to hurt anyones feelings for the sake of "Can't we all get along!" type of mindset. Jesus died for us...THAT is LOVE!

[ParmaGayGuy]

Although I'm Catholic, this ad sure does paint a good picture about how the Catholic Church regects others. If the Catholic Church does not like you for any reason, they will not allow you anywhere near them!

[matrxmax]

Live as you please and do as you will, be a homo . be a lesbo, what counts is love, love one, love all, swap your partner, one or to all, even swingers finds us exciting, never a dull moment, because you'll be accepted here, but just remember, Satan will gladly receive you in hell.

[murse23]

great video!!

[leo50300]

This is cool and true. Jesus didn't reject people and neither should we.

[doobiesmoke15]

Every thing I have said here is relevant. Unlike the trash you spew forth!

[katdanmo]

Catholics tolerate all christianity. No wonder why you are so bitter! You are a united church person...LOL You better go fight with the real enemie then peopel of God such as Cathlics...lolYeah those crabby united churches, no wonder why...LOL

[katdanmo]

I do not believe eveyr thing I see on TV and movies. they are there to entertain you. they are beuilt after fictional characters!Youshould read nore books and not base yoru logic on film adn movie Characters!!!

[katdanmo]

Take an example of a Muslim form Russia or Eastern Europe adn a Muslim from Saudie, do you think they think and act the same way!!!! What being a Cathlic has any thing to do with searing! eve rone swears now a day, so what!!!!

[katdanmo]

Just give me a break! Just give me a break!

Firstof all which parent does nto wear adn second of all, the culture speaks louder the faith!

[katdanmo]

If you were a real honest perosn you would not delet my messages but since you have so much problems with Christians so much, you need to see a therapist.

[doobiesmoke15]

why would a gay want to go to church in the first place??????

[MikeOfKorea]

Amen.

[angrydead]

Belief that Jesus died for their sins?

[doobiesmoke15]

I think they are just stupid!

[angrydead]

I disagree.

[doobiesmoke15]

How so?

[angrydead]

Perhaps the better question is too you: why is a Gay person stupid for having religious beliefs?

[doobiesmoke15]

Cause Christianity is opposed to homosexuality!

[angrydead]

Not really true, the bible is opposed to 'sin' and labels gayness it under 'sin' so whilst it frowns on Gay sex its a fairly small part of its views on sex. Certainly from a honest Christian perspective it's hard to exclude gays since technicly we are all sinners.

[doobiesmoke15]

But it does speak out against gay sex , right?

[angrydead]

Strictly speaking yes but it also speaks out against giving disrespect to your parents, looking at a pretty girls bum, drinking to much and thousands of everyday mundane stuff which all people perpetrate and yet we are still welcomed with open arms which is more the point.

[doobiesmoke15]

Well, that proves my point, gay people are stupid to belong to an organization that has historically persecuted them and continues to do so!

[angrydead]

Well strictly speaking pretty much anyone alive today Christian or not would have been persecuted by the church. But ultimatly it is best not to let grudges against insitutions prevent you from following whatever spiritual path you feel is correct.

I think if anyone is stupid it's you with your desire to charicterise a entire religion as some sort of monolithic inqisition. the truth is far more stupid...and terrifying.

[doobiesmoke15]

You are stupid!

[angrydead]

I think it's rather clear that you don't really have a leg to stand on here. As Pantera said: "walk on home boy".

[doobiesmoke15]

Bold words from a typical christian sheep!

[angrydead]

Not really true, I'm a Buddist. It's just that I've actually y'know Read about the subjects I wish to discuss. You silly little man.

[doobiesmoke15]

I know a jebus freak when I see one!

[angrydead]

Apparantly not.

It seems being uable to distinguish between being aware of Christian theology and being a Christian is lost on you....on a certain level this reminds me of Christian creationists who attempt to contest basic biology despite an knowledgue is at best rudementry. You silly little man

[doobiesmoke15]

Don't you call me silly you lunkhead!

[angrydead]

As a non-christian talking to a non-christian I say this: doobiesmoke15 you are a very stupid and very silly little man!

[doobiesmoke15]

Why don't you go teach your granny to suck eggs christian!

[angrydead]

I'll take that as a "yes I am an idiot, I'm aware I don't have a leg to stand on so I'm going to keep at it in the hopes It'll somehow get better."

[doobiesmoke15]

Oh, I got a leg to stand on! and another to kick your butt with!

[angrydead]

you are a really silly little man. You not only know nothing about the subject you wish to discuss (Christian theology) and can't in fact tell the differance between a Christian and non-christian but know have to resort to empty threats. Pathetic

[doobiesmoke15]

At least I'm not some mean intolerant christian like you!

[angrydead]

Well as I've elaborated (at length) I'm not a Christian (the big hint is that I don't except the premise of Christianity). You however are clearly rather intolerant not only of Christians but also of non-christians who state 'pro' Christian statements.

...you idiot.

[doobiesmoke15]

You need to learn to treat others with respect!

[angrydead]

Not strictly speaking true, respect is earned not given. From your posts I have learnt that you are a bigoted obnoxious clod, with no real understanding of the subject you wish to discuss and a deep dislike of Christians and a contempt for Gay Christians.

...you silly little man

[doobiesmoke15]

I do not know why you feel compelled to bring down the level of public discourse

[angrydead]

What? The " I think Gay Christians are stupid-and anyone who doesnt agree with me is a Christian sheep" poster is complaining about public discoarse? You gotta be shittin me! You are so full of it with this wounded party crap that it makes you look and even buffoon.

[doobiesmoke15]

I will ask you not to use such language. Do you realize children may be reading this!

[angrydead]

Seems unlikely...I certainly consider bad language better than your bigotry arrogence and raw stupidity you highly strung windbag. Although admittidly I'm not really sure what you hope to achieve at this point apart from bore me too death?

[doobiesmoke15]

Wont you at least think about the children!

[angrydead]

I couldnt give a toss about the children. you raging moron!

[doobiesmoke15]

You don't care about children? What kind of monster are you?

[angrydead]

I assume that you're not actually as idiotic as you sound and are now Trolling for attention.

if you are really that dumb, then the theoretical children (which are most likely non-existant) more damaged by your retarded comments and think-skinned indignant Bullshit than any amount of 'bad' language.

[doobiesmoke15]

I believe in setting a good example for the younger generation. You on the other hand, offer them nothing but vulgarity and ideological enslavement!

[angrydead]

Oh no being a Buddist I believe in a great many thing honesty for example. You on the other hand are a bigot, a hypocite, a crybaby and a fool. Hypothetical Children would far more harmed by your (vague) dislike of differant religions and contempt for its members and moral cowardice than they could be any abstract of 'bad' words.

Silly little man.

[doobiesmoke15]

Which one of us is worse? I offer people freedom! You want to chain them to the yoke of religious fanaticism!

[angrydead]

You, You havnt offered people anything about from a rather badly thought out comment about gay christians and some tiresome slogans about a religions and people you don't appear to understand. This isnt to say christianity is good or even bad-but the situation is far more complicated than such simple abstracts.

Fanaticism is a pretty poor choice of word, consider all I've done is state that you're dumb as opposed to sensor or murder you.

[doobiesmoke15]

I bet you would like to censor or murder me if you got the chance

[angrydead]

That seems unlikely, considering I don't believe in censoring or punishing stupidity through violence.

You've pretty much 'lost' this discussion for quite a while, perhaps as Pantera would say it's time to "walk on home boy"?

[doobiesmoke15]

perhaps as Pantera would say it's time to "walk on home boy"?

You have used that lame line before. Why don't you get some new material,preferably from music that doesn't suck

[angrydead]

coming from a fan of Finntroll this means nothing.

If I should get new material than you should perhaps get a valid point rather than simply writting replies for the sake of it?

[doobiesmoke15]

Are you going to denigrate Finntroll now too? At least they have a message!

[angrydead]

Which is more than can be said of you, as you post endless bollocks.

[doobiesmoke15]

bollocks? That's not even a real word. Speak English!

[angrydead]

It actually is an English word- a noun to mean "nonsense", : looks like you fail at basic English as well as theology and debate.

It's quite funny how stupid you are so I heartily encourage you to continue

[doobiesmoke15]

That is not a proper English word. Nobody in America says that. It is just slang.

[angrydead]

Sorry all I heard there was "durrr I have nothing to say so I'll just keep posting becouse I'm too stupid to know when I'm owned durrr"

[doobiesmoke15]

Do you take meanness pills before you post here?

[angrydead]

Whiny pretentious turd, file your 'wounded party' bullshit under "thing which mean I'm not only stupid but also a hypocrite" sub-section "things Angrydead doesnt give a toss about".

your such a moral coward it actually sickens me.

[doobiesmoke15]

That hurts, it really does! I wouldn't have expected that, even from someone like you!

[angrydead]

Pathetic, Assuming this isnt some sort of elaborate Troll. It seems that if your such a stupid whelp you should learn to shut the fuck up.

[doobiesmoke15]

I have warned you about using that kind of language before. You must be some sort of Scottish soccer hooligan!

[angrydead]

I thought I was a religious fanatic? Yer Cannae make yer mind up yer Numpty Bampot!

Still waiting for you to say anything of merit at all outside of replying for the sake of it?

[doobiesmoke15]

Religion is the classic refuge of the vicious person who tries to cover up his hoggishness with self righteousness

[angrydead]

Hardly, contempt for raw stupidity doesnt require belief in any deities.

..Still waiting for you to say anything of relvance?

[condorlio07]

god i wish all christians were like this.

[htruman]

I wish that too

[kiamal]

I am an anti-irrationalist (which also makes me an atheist). I believe (and openly and frequently communicate) that religion (and any other blind faith irrationality including Nazism, Stalinism, Cult of North Korea, Scientology, quackery, Lepricons, Pink Elefants, jesus, jahve allah, etc) is a dangerous delusion. Am I welcome to join the church? :))))

[MGELSO15]

YES!

[ecclesiamilitans1099]

UCC=

Unitarians Considering Christ

[tapkae]

@ecclesiamilitans1099 Ahem. United Church of Christ.

[frank1f11]

united church of communists

[Ferroman1]

Christianity sucks :D

[uli22es]

If they do an adevrtisement like that, is because they would love to do so, (with the ejector..?) but just laws does not permit that, and maybe they are so desperate that they accept everyone.. except other religions.. hahaha...

[gregorythetruth]

It will be interesting to see if the network decision makers who banned these commercials were influenced by their "contributors" from other denominations; or if the decision was just in-house genius. The "EJECTOR" was the first attempt....banned by more than just NBC and CBS. That is why it was changed to the bouncer from my understanding. -GTT

[xxwolfwoodxx1]

I'm an atheist, but if I decided to attend or join a church, I'd probably choose this one

[tomata182]

that is a ridiculous statement--it makes no logical sense.

[humanistfuture]

I'm an Atheist, but I have no problem with a church that doesn't discriminate or impose its will.

[ecclesiamilitans1099]

Right. As long as the Church doesn't actually preach Truth, I'm cool with that.

[rypam]

Darn! That means we have to love tomata182. This UCCer and sinner loves you. Peace be with you!Which sins do we pick that are to cause to to treat people as they do not belong?In the Bible it say that it is an abomination to eat shell fish. So I guess no Red Lobster after church.

[tomata182]

it isn't about rejecting anyone thats where the UCC has it wrong. Love the sinner hate the sin!

[kevvvparkkk]

being black, hispanic, homosexual, old, or disabled is not a sin

[blindvoyager]

I haven't seen this one. Amen! Go UCC!

[e97zsa]

Fuck church and religion.

[Orgullomoore]

I'm atheist, but I've always wondered on what strategical basis Christianity rejects so many people. It's much more economocially wise to take everybody's money.

[OvenToasted]

Sciencentology already did that.

[xaviervonrottie]

@Orgullomoore I agree with you! Being atheist my self I must say I commend The United Church of Christ for what there doing. All Christians should follow there lead!

[orlandobabe]

I love that notion, why isn't there a church like that in my neck of the woods? I wanna be in a church like that.

[johnlee1965]

I wish the Episcopal Church would stand up for Christ just as the UCC has done here.

[korriken]

God won't slam the door on you because of what you used to be if you repent and come into his light. if you refuse to follow his command, its the pits for you... a very, very hot pit. and homosexuality is considered immoral in the christian religion, I'm surprised and stunned that more and more preachers preach PC instead of religion. if you sin against god, and do so thinking he will forgive you and let you in anyway and continue to do it, you got a BIG TIME surprise coming.

[SLATania74]

Question: Why do Christians like you love to preach the parts of the bible about being better than everybodyelse than the parts about love?

[unwantedplaything]

I can tell you are not familiar with the Gospel according to Matthew. If you were I'm sure you would know the judgements you pass are the judgements you shall receive.

[NicolaMonk]

And you have spoken to God and he has told you exactly how he determines if a person goes to heaven?

IMHO being judgmental is demonstrated as a much greater sin in the bible than having a child out of wedlock, being poor, or, yes, being gay.

[merryberry1234]

The truth!

[RedFox742]

Thank God for the UCC. I might have completely lost my faith raised in any other denomination. As is...

[ALuimes]

That's quite an accomplishment, considering that the UCC itself has lost it. Not to mention it's congregations.

[HoosierRN]

The UCC is on the way out. Its ultra liberal views will be the demise of it yet. I was raised in this denomination, I am sad to say. Fortunately, me and my family have found a denomination that doesn't twist the word of God into today's PC world.

[xxwolfwoodxx1]

you could quote the bible to prove anything want (I.E. slavery)

[viperdiamondback]

how could that not be considered offensive to Christians?  that's one of the most offensive commercials i've ever seen. it's a good thing that petty misinformation never got aired; it could have driven a deeper wedge between brothers and sisters of all denominations.

[xXJADEXx7]

lmao thats hilarious

[dsgeek100]

if you're already defyin 1 of more of gods 10 commandments then what reason would you go to church for?

just beleve there is no god and poof, he is faith it'self am I right?probably not, but the bible has been revised so many times rules have been changed, thats not gods/christs way, if you beleve the current bible then god is faith

sorry, but this is just a neutral atheist view, if you love the social aspect, why don't you set something up yourself?

[Demetrios1975]

I wish I could find the UCC in my area

[htruman]

God & Jesus does not reject people, the religous right reject people.

[ToenzZz]

If i may rephrase:

God & Jesus don't reject people, people that make religions eject people!

[razybaby]

Cool church!!

[Mana]

omg this was so nice.

[Rocker808]

i like this church

[TurtleChic]

I was so proud to be brought up in this denomination!!!!

[SnCMorgue]

This made me like religion, and I couldn't stop laughing from watching it.

[gayrightswatch]

Actually MCC (Metropolitan Community Churches which are all over the US) are just as accepting, if not more accepting. There are many others as well.

[cozlingzs]

there probably one of the only non evil church groups.
