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....

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.
