good message,

even though I consider the church to have replaced personal responsibility and action for docile hymns and prayers.
but there are some more progressive and proactive churches out there...

Double standard

I think this campaign is intelligent in terms of strategy. This is the reality of religion, but is too truthful to make me believe that any other church will be different. So. I am not a believer on this god’s establishment.

I've never been religious

and I found these ads to be pretty corny. I know it's an attempt to make religion fun perhaps? but, it somehow manages to identify those people usually discriminated against (gay couples, dark-skinned people, single moms, old people, vagrants, etc.); you can say you're just identifying OTHER people's prejudices but I don't think that in the end, the commercial redeems itself by showing those people in a slow, dreamy, well-lit pan. and the second one, using a nightclub analogy, is just straight corn on the cob.

I'm not religous

And one of my biggest knocks has always been contradicting messages of acceptence. Kudos. The creative itself was ok.
