black – I am a Christian and I fully agree with that statement. I believe that the way I live my life should be the most important testimony for why I believe in Christ and why I believe others need Christ too. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, as, obviously, I am not perfect I honestly believe that if everyone who called themself a Christian practiced the love of God the way that it was actually intended in the Bible (quite simply – "Love your enemy"), there would be a lot less hate and strife in the world. But it's not my intention to proselytise you or anything, so I'll leave it at that.

Chloe – Why do you feel that the JAAL campaign is shameful?

Outreach media? How about just living your lives in a way people would want to join in: it’s the only real hope anybody has of spreading anything but hype.

I am a Christian, and I thing that the Jesus All About Life Advertisements are shameful.

Perhaps you’d like to look at some more intelligent christian advertising:

Sure people can believe what they want, but also we have the right to point out how stupid that is if we find it so.

Religion seems to have a standing no other belief does. If you believe in Labour compared to Liberal, you can discuss your points at length, but if it’s RELIGION, you can’t say a word! Why?

Mainly because there’s a lot to lose, all those tax breaks and being able to justify bigotted points of view etc etc

We are inundated with religion, and some folk have just had enough. Our knowledge of religion is testament to how insidious it is.

So personally, yes, I am pointing a finger and going HAHA! how silly!! what a silly belief! And these same people get tax breaks to further spread their mind virus in indigenous communities and state schools. Religion should have no rights above any other secular organisation, just because they believe in a sky fairy!

Hello. Yes, our site is run by people: that was a very good guess! (I cannot think what the alternative would be.)

We are people who realise that selling Jesus without mentioning churches (and some of the nasty people and things that come as part of the package) is like selling cigarettes without mentioning the risk of cancer, emphysema, gangrene and all: in short, deceptive practice. Yet that is what the JAAL campaign is about!

As far as throwing stuff back in people’s faces, who threw the “stuff” in the first place? People have a right to informed belief, so the holes in the Jesus business should be exposed, in depth if necessary. If belief can only handle a shallow version of reality, it would be better to keep it simple and switch your worship to the Tooth Fairy.

When you’ve dealt with the two different biblical accounts of Judas’ last days, and reconciled the twenty-odd conflicts in the resurrection fairytale parts of the gospels, come back and tell me “it just doesn’t seem very logical”.

You have probably been conditioned to start praying, praising or something else, when confronted by criticism like this. Stop a moment. Look around you.

Are child-harming church workers Jesus? Is a millionaire pastor, taking money from pensioners Jesus? Is Jesus listening to the large body of christians, who tolerate this and wait (in vain) for god to do something?

You’ve had your turn on the soapbox: we don’t do protracted debates.

Hey i was looking through the site, and it seems that a few people run it or something. i got abit confused but…, when i was reading, cause it seems people have obviously looked into this stuff and done research, and have probably read the bible to get verses. but the thing i dont get is why are you trying to throw stuff back in peoples faces? dont people have a right to believe in what ever they choose to? im not trying to or meaning to point a finger but i dont understand how come you’ve gone so indepth to try to get a message across so harshly. do you loath Jesus and church and stuff because you’ve been hurt by a church or what? it just doesn’t seem very logical. if you could please explain where your coming from and the background into why you think they way you do about this topic it might make what your trying to say a little bit more comprehendable. thanks
