Okay, you know that UCC ad that was "too controversial" to be aired?

[conuly]

I just saw it on AMC.

That was controversial?

What the fuck? Did I see an edited version of the ad or something?

*sighs*

Another thing I just don't get.

Watching a documentary on Miracle. God I love that movie....

What's UCC?

I think you may be talking about the ad for the church which someone I know goes to. If you are, I can explain what's "controversial" about it.

UUC? I don't know, it's United Church of Christ or something.

And I know what's supposed to be controversial about it, I'm asking what those idiots were smoking that they thought it actually *was* controversial.

[neurotica0.livejournal.com]

Yep, we were talking about the same thing then.

I just thought you might have missed the part where they showed homosexual couples, because I missed it the first time I saw it.

Man, if it wasn't for the whole not-believing-in-god thing, that'd be the church for me. Or a more light presbyterian church.

That's what I'm not getting. Couldn't the sillies just say to themselves "oh, look, close platonic friends"? Or was there sexing going on?

Hand-holding and shoulder-hugging.

But, the people opposed to the ad think that homosexuals should be condemned and not allowed into the church. They are offended by the notion that accepting homosexuals (and for some of the more extremist opponents--ethnic minorities) into the church is jesus-like.

I guess they missed that whole part where jesus loved everyone.

Cool! I'm UCC, too!

Isn't it awesome that thanks to all the brouhaha, people finally recognize our name? And not saying, "Oh, you're the church that doesn't have piano music in worship."

[conuly]

So, you're... a capella?

[jedirita.livejournal.com]

No, that's the "Church of Christ," with whom we are always confused.

I've seen that community before, but back then there was almost no one in it. Awesome! I'll join it with my "real life" name instead of my fandom name.

Thanks for the tip!
