When ‘tax exempt’ organizations can afford Super Bowl ads…

[Kennah]

1. Jesus' Twitter game is gonna be on fleek

[underpants]

2. I get what you are saying about their tax status but that campaign is pretty inclusive

and tolerant. I think it’s a good campaign.

[RockRaven]

6. You know who is behind the ads, right?

What do you think their agenda is? They are putting out these milquetoast ads for a reason. The ad is Step 1. What is their Step 2 and Step 3?

[GoCubsGo]

10. Yes, one of the sponsors of these ads is Hobby Lobby.

You know, the company that, with the help of the Supreme Court, forced insurance companies to stop covering birth control.

17. No. I didn't know that. I take it back then.

My bad.

9. The people behind the ad are the likes of Hobby Lobby

and are anything but tolerant. The idea is to boost local church attendance by SEEMING inclusive.

[Bongo Prophet]

13. Groomers always come in soft and friendly, then end up...well, hard.

The campaign is Hobby Lobby funded.
So, both groomers and grifters.

3. Puppy, monkey, baby Jesus

4. Is that those "Jesus was an immigrant" ads?

[pandr32]

5. When Jesus is being marketed

...with massively expensive ad campaigns we have to recognize the Big Money behind it seeks power and influence on a larger scale. Jesus isn't just a friendly prophet any more.

Time to end the tax-free status.

[jimfields33]

18. All non profits should pay taxes. Every last one of them.

It absurd to have organizations not paying taxes.

[crickets]

23. 👆👆

[GoCubsGo]

7. They have been spamming YouTube's ads with that crap for weeks now.

I wonder if Jesus "gets" Mr. Hobby Lobby's theft of Holy Land antiquities.

[Sky Jewels]

8. Why do magical/omnipotent supernatural beings need humans to do their PR?

Why can't they just appear over the stadium and say "Believe or else, mfers!"

[RockRaven]

11. Or why aren't their results so much better that everyone would get on board without needing

to be advertised to? The existence and worship-worthiness of the omnipotent/omniscient/omnipresent/omnibenevolent thing should be self-evident. The need for PR indicates that something has gone horribly awry.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

16. OH! OH! OH! Is it because it's actually all just made-up nonsense?

Going way out a limb with that one

[Bleacher Creature]

12. It's all part of sky guy's master plan. Don't question it.

That seems to be their answer to anything that doesn't make logical sense, which is pretty diabolical if you ask me.

[SoCalDavidS]

15. I've Come To The Conclusion That IF There Is A Sky Guy, He/She Is An Asshole

How else to explain the Bullshit that occurs daily.

[SoCalDavidS]

14. Looking Forward To The Day When They Show Jesus Carrying An AR-15

I'm sure there are already memes about that.

[Elessar Zappa]

19. The ads that I've seen don't seem that bad.

They seemed like they were promoting tolerance.

[GusBob]

21. Irony can be pretty ironic, hey

given the snarky replies here, tolerance is not acceptable

[EarthFirst]

22. See above who is behind this "tolerance"

Hobby Lobby is hardly the cornerstone of tolerance in our nation…
