Jesus: All about lies!

I just thought I'd send out a salute to the genius who grabbed the url jesusallaboutlife.com. For those who haven't been past a church in NSW or WA in the last couple of months, there's a campaign with the slogan "Jesus: All about life" and a great many churches have a large poster out the front with that slogan.


The parody site is brilliant and comes up #4 on a google search. I'm sure this campaign will afford us many opportunities for slander and enturbulation

I wonder if it's got something to do with "Collect '09"?


UPDATE

I've also found out that the url allaboutlife.com has been linked to Secular Thinking.com

A friend of mine, Dr Chaotica has just put out the song 'All about Life'

Nice work, peeps!

Positive religious message

I guess that the 'good christian folks' over at AIG have become underwhelmed with the results of the normal fear-based campaigning used by Christians and have decided to 'knock it up a notch', with this "If you don't matter to God, we'll shoot you in the face" public service announcement.

It is a little confusing though, as i think it assumes that if you don't care about God, God doesn't care about you, which I'm not sure that even many Christians would agree on. I thought that God was supposed to love everyone? Maybe I'm wrong... I guess if he loved everyone, he wouldn't kill babies...

But seriously, if you want to promote your religion, go for happy-clappy over scare tactics, it just makes you look like a bunch of douchebags!

Christianity Doesn't Cause Wars

Massive eyesore or religious freedom?

Wow, a cross the size of the statue of liberty.

So, what do you think?

Is it a gaudy eyesore? An expression of religious freedom? A waste of money? A sign of hope?

Personally, I think that a church has the right to promote their religion in whatever way they see fit, as long as it does not significantly impact the lives of others. Having this big sign up could be seen as sending a message to non-christians that they are not welcome, which would be bad. Also, as mentioned in the vid, it is quite possible that the big cross will effect property values, a double blow to the non-christians in the area.

If they wanted to put one up in my neighborhood, I'd definitely be complaining!
