free speech in the news and daily papers, about certain religions stand and politics. even when they use there own form of terror. yet praying in an advert would offend different walks of life. yet reading in the news paper this terror, offend every walk of life, yet cant say anything like this in the open because it may offend someone.
moronic sums it up, the other side of the coin , would ask news and news papers, do you think, we like reading about terror or about people who harm others, yet it the now thing, having free speech to print, but not having free speech to voice one man/ woman s ideas. etc

GOOD!
Why do I say good? because the agency which is responsible for cinema advertising, clearly states they will not allow any political or religious based adverts.
If Christians are allowed to put Lords Prayer out as an advert, then Muslims will have the right to put adverts quoting the Quaran and pushing its views on people. I do not want that to happen.
Free Speech is a myth, just a unicorn promised to us when it is not real, all in order to give an illusion of freedom.

I think this idea would have been acceptable as little as 10 years ago! Things are just changing so rapidly! We've reached the proverbial "tipping point" in which society has gone past post modernism into outright intolerance for Christianity in the name of secular humanism. This is not the world I grew up in, and I know that as Christians we need to seek God on our knees and pray for revival, accompanied by repentance, a hunger to learn the Wird of God a fervour to spread the good news of Jesus Christ to our countries and the world.
In the crazy world we live in, if the media agency had taken this christian ad, they would probably be legally obligated to take ads from all religions, including cults, or they could be sued.
The ad agency did not create the political climate we live in.
They're just businessmen watching the "bottom line" and trying to avoid lawsuits.
It's nothing more, and nothing less.
Yes, I think it's really stupid that they're afraid to run the ad.
But I'm sure they'd be happy to take the Church Of England's money, if it didn't risk a lawsuit.
More and more, any expression of faith is going to open up businesses to lawsuits.
It's ridiculous, but that's the world we live in now.
