have you seen the pic where he is on the cross and he is saying "be right back"   

[NANNY RED]

Check out this one


"Amidst all the tears and wailing about sacrifice, can McClaren persuade St Jamie the Martyr to come down?" No.

Right. Disgusting. To use something sacred to sell glue is not on. To paint Jesus as if he was enjoying the experience is not on.
















But it's fécking funny

I'm Catholic, but I sort of laughed and was sort of offended at the same time. Is that a real ad, like? Jes...I mean, f*ckin hell, they've got some balls if it is.

I'm Catholic too. I feel more offended when our society converts Christmas in a marketing experience and everything is aimed in order you spend money mate.

So in an hypocrital way, society uses Jesus once a year so that you buy more. This is just the same, selling something, with a bit of humour. But Christmas treatment offends me much more than that advert.

I know what you mean. JC's been replaced by colored lights, a big green tree, and a bearded red suit wearing fat bloke called Santa. The ironic thing is, is that even though Jesus is being capitalized on, there is no major mention of him at the time of the year. It's when the word Christ gets replaced by an 'X' that p*sses me off. Why do it?! Why take the man's name away from what is his birthday?

Not trying to be too controversial here but the lights and the tree are the original symbols of the season--the pagan festival of Yule.  Like many pagan festivals (e.g. Easter, Halloween), the Christians just came along and superimposed their narrative on top.  In fact, I've heard theories that suggest that Jesus of Nazareth was actually born in October sometime but the whole "light of the world" angle plays better in association with the Yule celebration of lights and evergreen trees (a reminder of nature's inevitable rebirth at a time of cold and darkness).  Not up on my Santa lore though, so who knows what that fat f.uck has to do with anything.

jesus is not real anyway so he won't be offended, so there is no need for you to be offended.

[Sabre]

No problem mates, we Christians are open minded.



The fire? oh don't alarm, we're preparing some beef tonight

Bad Bob, you have a point in the tree thingy, but that's part of the english culture, in other part of the worlds there are other traditions. Some of those pagan traditions like the tree made it here aswell, but are not part of the traditional Christian celebrations. Meaning that are only little examples of the "commertialisation" of Christmas
