agreed with becca. religion is personal and you should not subject anyone to what you do or don't believe in, and same goes for the other side.

i do not think that any religious ads should be allowed.
clothing ads, make up ads, movie ads are all fine.
but no religious ads.

Zach_V · Senior Member

I agree with Becca. There is no need for any religious ads. Religion belongs in the churches and at home.

krea · Senior Member

what is the point of advertising this? do they think it will really have an effect on what people personally believe for themselves. its a waste of time and it shouldnt be done. no religious advertisments for that matter.

I have an article about an atheist group in Colorado paying to put up billboards this holiday season that say "Don't believe in God? You are not alone." So it's starting to gain momentum. I'm against any religious ads though. Don't force your beliefs on others.

people are free to choose their religion. and others have no rights to comment on.

Religious Ads only, kthx.

Beccawicks · Senior Member

I hadn't seen the picture until now, thats a silly and pointless ad.

Like I said. None of any kind. Religion (or lack there of) is your personal businesss and not the world's. People really don't care what anyone does on their personal holy day.

I don't think there should be any ads

LauraHernandez17 · Senior Member

I think that if someone can be convinced through an ad on a bus that their god doesnt exist then their faith probably wasnt that strong anyway so whatever. and it looks kinda like a joke not like something that serious

Janell · Veteran Member

I don't see the point of these religious or non religious ads. Then again, i don't see the point of any advertisments. make up, celebrities, clothes, etc are just as pointless

Flanny · Senior Member

i actually kind of like the ad. i think its pretty funny, but i can understand also within our society today that these billboards would not be accepted. So i don't mind either way.

MARISA CELISE TORRES · Veteran Member

i don't think this ad should be aloud, or any other kind of religious ad, because you have the right to believe in what you want.

Codenamelivi · Veteran Member

you could spend alot less effort just ignoring it than complaining and trying to get it down

If pro-religious signs are allowed, anti-religious signs should be allowed too. Where is the freedom of speech and expression, after all?

krea · Senior Member

but i have to say i do like that saying they used in that picture

This is England, not the United States of America. There is no First Amendment guarantee.

I do not think religious ads should be allowed.
However after all the "God Saves" ads and such, this ad is somewhat of a relief to see.

True that my friend. Sense...for the win!

I don't see what the problem is. Aren't we always saying on here that people are entitled to believe in whatever they want to believe in? I think it is quite funny too

davidtvelasco · Veteran Member

I think that the money could be spent on better things, but if someone wants to by that advertising space I say let them. I would actually prefer this to an ad that is trying to sell me something. At least this one is funny

rtheisen · Senior Member

I don't know why we care so much. It is just an ad, but if it gets you all stirred up, there's nothing I can do.

I agree that it really isn't a big deal. But I think its tacky for churches to have ads and in turn it has to be tacky for my beliefs to have ads. The ads don't bother me personally. And when I see a religious ad I don't get upset, I just think it will save alot of grief if we just don't allow ads of any personal belief/implication.
