SnailyBoy Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The snippet showing the process of the indoctrination of young children was really depressing (this applies to any religion by the way, before anyone has a pop). The preparation of another generation of recruits for the cult is not great. The cinema chain is perfectly correct to ban advertising designed to encourage belief in the supernatural, particularly when targeting the vulnerable and naïve. If you have access to Netflix, have a look at 'Jesus Camp'. Takes indoctrination to a new level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Smith Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The think I found most surprising about all this was when I was listening to R5 and some woman came on saying it would offend her to see the ad because she was an agnostic. Unless she`s got the definition wrong (and is actually an atheist) I don`t understand how someone who doesn`t know whether God exists or not could be upset by the advert !

kingdom Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Actually it was to highlight the contradiction with cinemas and street corners, specifically in regard to Jehovah's Witnesses. As for your point about other religions, they're all fair game. Every literature displays kart is approved by the local council (very un-cult like you think ?) ---------- Post added 24-11-2015 at 17:04 ---------- Free choice is the order of the day Also if a Muslim advert from the Koran was at cinema I would not need to object . it's all learning after all . I don't need to have the crying abdabs over other people's beliefs :shakes: LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult - a system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object. I don't think council approval of a display kart has anything to do with it.

Maybe she's got the definition right but just didn't disclose if she's an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be able to point to somewhere that has banned the use of the word Christmas then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningman1 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 You'll be able to point to somewhere that has banned the use of the word Christmas then? The word was banned in my ex girlfriends house. They were Sikh and her dad hated Christianity like a fat girl hate going to the beach with her slimmer friends.
