Cinema bans lord prayer ad

[runningman1]

so its ok for a business to ban things on religious grounds but a business owner who for their religious beliefs bans something gets vilified:roll: god/allah wheres it all going to end with this religious lark

 

You are missing the point, possibly deliberately.

 

A business can refuse to advertise things that carry a political or religious message. They can't discriminate against individuals

Imagine having to sit through 20mins of party political broadcasts before a movie during the election?

 

No thanks!!

[ricgem2002]

Maybe God/Jesus could take the case to court to see if the cinema's action's were unlawful?

 

whos being silly now it would have to be one of his representatives

Here's a link

The advert is for a website that promotes prayer. http://www.justpray.uk/

 

The website is brilliant, you can click on a prayer and add your own. I'm guessing there's a great way to share on Facebook, Twitter etc to encourage more prayers.

 

It looks a great way for people to think they're doing something good, without actually having to do anything.

I am personally sick and tired of religion in my face and I'm glad they have decided to not run the ad. It is coming to something when you can't even enjoy a bit of science fiction without religious fiction sticking its' nose in.

 

Bloody Christians thinking they can piggy back on the religious tolerance to promote their crap. Please, do us all a favour... **** off.

Really? It'll be easy for you to give some examples then, do tell.

Any reason is a good reason.

 

Besides, isn't 'Jedi' considered by many to be their religion? Can you imagine the fuss they'd kick up if Muslims or Atheists wanted to advertise before a film about Christ? Bloody bible bashing idiots.

Can you not actually name one then?

Can't give an example of religion being 'in your face' either?

Quelle surprise.
