The fact is that it was a positive message, whether you agreed with it or not. Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 27/01/2010 09:52:47 PM
After all that whining about those bus ads a while back, this would be great.


It would be interesting to see someone try and spin an atheism message as being positive, when at its very core all it does it take away...

~Jeordam


Or the UCC ad would have been allowed ;)



positivity & well, being disruptive. The UCC has a long standing history of ascribing to beliefs/viewpoints that run counter culture to not only the Christian church as a whole, but the very theology that is supposed to be the basis of their faith. Their ad was at its very core, self-serving & divisive. Tim's ad with his mother is neither.

~Jeordam


And LOL, disruptive, self-serving and divisive are rather in the eye of the beholder, don't you think?

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.
