Hobby Lobby-funded Jesus Super Bowl ads can't hide the hate that fuels the Christian right

[LeroyDumonde]

Just goes to show that even "based" Christians eventually become cucks.

Sad that you don't know anything about Christian places of worship.

Shouldn't you be shitting on some trans kid?

‘Of the many weird, cringeworthy, or confusing ads to run in the Super Bowl on Sunday, one stood out as especially eyeroll-inducing: a foot washing ad from the "He Gets Us" campaign. The commercial flashed a series of images of people washing another person's feet, with most offering an attention-grabbing role reversal of oppressor and oppressed: A cop washing a young Black man's feet, a white woman serving a migrant, and, for the one that made me guffaw the loudest, an anti-abortion protester kneeling before a presumed patient of a family planning clinic. "Jesus didn't teach hate," reads the tagline as an INXS cover plays. "He washed feet."

The funders of the ad were obscure to the audience, leaving open the question: Are the people behind this simply naive? Are they the last remaining liberal Christians, trying to convince Donald Trump-obsessed evangelicals to stop the tidal wave of hate? Or is this ad a bait-and-switch, trying to lure unchurched people in with a phony message of love and acceptance, only to push them into joining up with the MAGA movement?’

The "He Gets Us" ads are an expensive bait-and-switch trying to trick people into believing in MAGA Jesus

The latter, clearly.

The rank hypocrisy of ‘he gets us’ – and of Christianity in general – is illustrated by this bad-faith (pun intended) campaign of dishonesty and lies; Christian dogma may not teach hate, but those on the Christian right certainly practice and promote hate.

I see you getting upset, nipple. But it’s ok to say it out loud.


Since I didn’t say it, that’s not surprising.

Is what the cop washing the black man’s feet?

Have an adult assist you in your feeble efforts to form sentences.

Lol, so your retarded ass can not explain why it is woke. Pretty hilarious that the Bible triggers you. I guess that is typical rw fool these days . Pissed off about everything. Hilarious

Sad indeed. But ignorance like Arlette's is exactly what his fellow Nazis look for in new recruits.

It's sad that Christians turned their places of worship into breeding grounds for hate.

Yeshua preached love and acceptance. Today's so-called "Christians" forget that. He talked of welcoming the stranger, not putting them behind bars. He never said hate people because they were homosexual, he once said to do that. So-called "Christians" treat the bible like Chinese menu, take one from column one and ignore the rest.

Ironically, if Jesus returned today, he would be detained a olive skinned Palestian Man with dark hair and beard.

The Evangelicals use their crutch/religion like a weapon. That's why they are detested and shunned by decent society.

 

[Arlette]

Fuck off, Nazi.

It wasn't a request, Adolf.

That's exactly right.

20th and 21st century bigotry and cruelty retrofitted to a book of bronze aged myths.

Nothing more.

Remember who was waving their Bibles against interracial marriage and women's
rights?

I do.

At some point American Christians and Jews MUST come to the conclusion that today's Dimocrat party hates you, and while they would NEVER have the balls to publicly bash and hate Islam and it's followers, Christianity is open season to these people.

Most people are normal and do not suffer from these bizarre fetishes and neuroses. Sorry.

No, I don't remember that but out of principle I trust no one who can clear their conscience by asking forgiveness from an invisible friend.
