You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
You shall not covet your neighborâs wife
You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor
how long is it going to be before the Atheist start knocking on our doos like the rest of the religionâs out there do? I personally do not see anything wrong with those adds. The Catholics, Jevohas Witnesses and all that other shit advertise there religion all the time!
When the JWâs kept bothering my mother a few years ago, she got fed up with them knocking on her door. (They even peaked through the windown to see if she was home). All she did was curse and slam the door on them the next time the came by; then they stopped coming by.Â
Oh man I hope that never happens. While I have opened the door to some religious people trying to spread the word that are very nice and respectful, I have also opened the door to people that are the complete opposite of that. The extremism is what bothers me the most about many organized religions, and the sometimes âpreachyâ way that they can come across. Ah well - thatâs enough of an off topic tangent hey? HeheâŚ
Ohh thats cute, you christians are the biggest fools alive, how bout this concept:
"You shall not believe in invisible men, or believe in something âbecause we said soâ or because âthe bible says soâ. Demand evidence before you make a blind commitment to things that are just plain bullshit, if you are going to buy the jesus b.s. may as well sign up for the santa and the tooth fairy package while yer at it. also those of you buying the jesus package may also find the humpty dumpty package is good a fit in with the santa and tooth fairy package, and if like all of those let me recommend the mother goose add on too. Myself I was raised in a christian home with the jesus b.s. taught as if it were truth backed with evidence, but after many years I reached the age of reason ( ten yrs old) I had to abandon these types of childish beliefs as I found something more constructive to do, its called âcritical thinkingâ, you believers should try it sometime, its truly a more satisfying way of understanding than any supernatural being can give you, Iâll take logic over faith any day.

Is that better? Donât think Cooking with Fire was trying to sell anyone religionâthink he was just pointing out some values. Donât see why he needs to be torn down for it.
Huh? TV channels, newspapers, radio stations, magazines? Thatâs not advertising? Iâve printed my share of Catholic advertising in my life â I know it exists, because Iâve created some of it!
There are magazines and radio commercials advertising joining the Catholic Church⌠talking about church related events? Iâm also curious what television shows youâre talking aboutâif youâre grouping Catholics in with all the other born again TV shows that play at 2am, youâre wrong⌠Iâve only ever heard of televised masses, not âjoin usâ commercials.
There is a distinct difference between what the Catholic Church might doâor any other mainstream Christian sect doâand going door to door attempting to convert people.
I dunnoâjust seems very odd to me. Iâve never heard or seen any Catholic advertisements trying to get people to join up.

I think you need to seperate your experience with the Catholic church in Rupert with the Catholic church globally.
Yes, the Catholic church has missionaries. Yes, the Catholic church owns TV, radio, print publications.
The Catholic church does door to door as well. Just because it doesnât happen in Rupert, or youâve never seen it, doesnât mean it doesnât happen.
Imagine a kid who grew up in small-town Utah saying âThe Mormon church doesnât advertise like all these other religions. They donât go door-to-door. Mormonâs are different.â Well, that may be true in their part of the world. Thatâs what you sound like. Youâre equating your naivety with reality.
I have. Like I said, Iâve even helped create some. Iâve also been part of, and witnessed Catholic missionaries.
Fair enough. Iâm obviously biased, but I still think thereâs a distinct difference between church owned TV programs or magazines and advertisements on TV or in magazines. I think itâs a safe bet the viewers and readers of this kind of stuff are already Catholic.
As for Missionaries, good pointâdidnât think of them. Their main goal is helping people, thoughânot conversion. (At least not anymore.)
Catholics donât knock on doors to convert people. They invade countries and force conversion at the end of a sword or gun. Or they kidnap kids and bring them to residential schools and orphanages.
