Tombo Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Barely even news. What a pointless thing to get up in arms about. It really doesn't make a difference whether the film gets shown or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Have no issue with it being shown. Listening to five live debate he was okayed by one regulator... But not by another... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRamFan Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 So an advert that has a religous context is banned from being seen before a film that had 176,000 claim themselves as Jedi's in the UK 2011 census. By that reckoning the cinema should also ban the film. After all it centers around an unexplainable force that you have to believe and embrace to weild the power it stows for good or evil...hypocrites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never realised this. Why didn't the cinema just tell them this, not sorry but it may offend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Why are the church spending tens if not hundreds of thousands of pounds on cinema adverts? Would Jesus have done this? Would he feck He'd have been using the money to feed the hungry or shelter the homeless. Well he would if he existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 a) Seeing as such a simple concept as equality seems to bewilder the church, can see why this confuses them b) No amount of prayer can save anyone over the age of 12 going to the cinema to watch Star Wars.

Duracell Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 The Church of England has finally lost the plot (or lost it even more) if it thinks it's something to be marketed before a film. Like a telecoms company or M&Ms. Before the CofE gets too upset, they should remember that it still has ncredible privileges when it comes to terrestrial television.

Would Jesus have done this? Would he feck He'd have been using the money to feed the hungry or shelter the homeless. Well he would if he existed. It's worth pointing out that the person we now call Jesus probably existed, and at the heart of his story lays pretty much nothing remarkable beyond someone who was kind to others and believed in treating others with respect and wanted to spread that message. Their name wasn't Jesus, that's just us using mangled translation on translation for a couple thousands years, but there's not a lot of reason to think they outright didn't exist. Whether or not they actually came back from the dead or not (or any other miracle) is something else all together, and considering that there are denominations of Christianity that don't even believe that, I think we can give them a pass.
