    I think someone would need to be trying pretty hard to be offended by that.

    It quite cleverly imitates some of the more culturally bizarre preachers from the God Channel etc without ever making a single overt reference to religion. :)

    I wouldn't call it offensive.

    Its more a skit on those money grabbing God Channels which I detest.

    Its fine. there was no mention of Christ or derogatory depiction of Christianity. Basically it was saying if you want something save for it. Actually well done.

    Anyway in Ireland we don't have the US superstar evangelical preacher thing... So who is it going to offend in Ireland.

    Actually the guy reminder me of one of those motivational speakers that sometimes give talks.

    I think most Christians are more likely to be offended by the kind of preacher the ad is lampooning than the ad itself.

    The only people who might be offended by this are the likes of Creflo Dollar and so on, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

    If were were offended at every little thing that comes our way and think the world is out to get us, why then we'd be atheists :rolleyes:

    Anyone wanting to rant about the world banking system, the Illuminati, Freemasonry or International Jewry please take it the Conspiracy Theories Forum.
