Jesus. All About Life TV Commercial

Actually, there have been two recent attempts: an ad campaign with APN Outdoor (largest outdoor advertising agency in Australia, and with Metro Tasmania (state-owned bus service). Both organisations rejected the advertising campaigns because they were "too controversial/offensive". Now that's not exactly democratic, is it.

On another note, I don't watch TV (partially due to the ads), but it pains me to see all those bloody annoying Jesus banners around. He's dead, get with it.

The Metro Tasmania case was over-turned a few months ago in favour of the Atheists. As for APN; I don't agree with their decision and am surprised by it. That's a decision their CEO has to live with I guess.

Also, don't get too flustered by the seeing all those banners around. Just look in the opposite direction like I do when I see an ad for Australian Idol!

By the way; Jesus may be dead to you (which I accept) but he's not dead too me.

Peace to you jacobbrett119.

Children's brains are no match for colourful advertisements telling them that something is flat out true with no evidence.

The Tooth Fairy is made up and its part of childhood that they believe in that kind of stuff.

But this is more like conscription.

Children (and easily led adults) don't have the mental capacity to decide for themselves yet, and when they see this ad they may be swayed into something that has no basis.

Scary thought.

* Why don't we engage on convo about what is actually written, said of Jesus? after u've read something. I'm not going to prove it's true to you when you are not prepared to open the pages of the book. It's like saying 'prove to me the stars exist' when I'm not prepared to look at the sky.

That is an absolutely ridiculous analogy.

We have physical proof that the stars exist.

We have no physical proof that Jesus, if he existed, was the son of god (the existence of which cannot also be proven nor disproven).

Only second-hand accounts from people who also wrote that those who work on the sabbath should be put to death.

Until you have proof that the bible isn't fantasy, it is foolish to blindly believe in it, let alone launch a marketing campaign against impressionable youth.

Ok fine - those millions who believe in the bible & in transforming work of Jesus are fools, we all live in caves & believe also in tooth fairies, we know nothing about how history or science works (I mean don't look for us universities or anything becoz we're certainly not there..or in anything even vaguely intelligent)....

...we like to believe becoz we can't handle real life', or 'real death', & we always make practice of following a jewish bloke who possibly did not even live & like to waste time telling people about him becoz he makes absolutely no difference..and frankly the world would be a much better place if the world never had any Christians..or even better..Jesus. (The End).

Again you are saying "real one" as if you have proof of a god that so many of us just fail to see.

If you think that the bible offered historical reasonableness, you clearly are not a student of history.

"Words of truth" is another phrase you are using, but you don't actually prove HOW its true. Saying something is true to prove that its factual is circular and nonsensical.

*I actually said it had 'words of truth claims'. IT claims to be true itself. Yes, it's circular ANY claim of ultimate authority on something is going to be circular.
* Toothfairy, santa -kids might believe when they're kids but they grow out of it. & I don't knw any adult who suddenly starts believing in them at a later age. Jesus - millions have come to believe later on in life, & continue to till the day they die. Difference!

Things can be tested and re-tested under the same conditions (like chemical reactions) are finite and not circular.

Just because lots of people believe in it doesn't make it real. Those listed as "Christian" in census forms mostly do because their country has had missionaries (Africa) or their family pushed it on them as a child (USA).

There is no physical evidence for either the existence of a tooth fairy nor Jesus being the son of god. Thus they have the same value of truth - virtually none.
