Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – $700 million failed whitewash job

The Friendly Atheist talks about the “He Gets Us” christian ad campaign that I’ve talked about before. Unsurprisngly, this $700 million has been wasted, and it’s no surprise that the ones wasting the money are frauds like the people involved with Hobby Lobby, etc. (BTW, memes at the bottom)

“Marketing Jesus comes with an inherent flaw: Most of the people using the product aren’t worth admiring. Between televangelists, megachurch leaders, Republican politicians, campus evangelists, hate-preachers, lazy apologists, everyone who runs the National Prayer Breakfast, and Franklin Graham, the amount of harm caused by the most fervent Jesus followers can’t be understated.

Why would you ever want to join a club that includes those people as members?

And why wouldn’t you at least acknowledge that the biggest obstacle to selling Jesus are the people who’ve already purchased the product?”

  1. Right. Nothing “they” say, do, or write, is intended for me/us. They want to keep the sheep as they are. It is like the MASTER RACE. They think they are not only better than us and that we are evil because of we DO NOT believe, but they also believe they are better than other (God of some flavor)-believers. And within each cult denomination they distain each other as much as they do us.
