A response of mine to the two Christian ads

The ad on wanting to know God to me really doesn't make sense. How can you ever really know what Yahweh is like in person? The Torah and Christian Bible only give information out about Yahweh from the interpretations of it's numerous authors. The people who claim to "know" this deity for which they have no evidence of it's existence are only going on their specific interpretation of him if you ask and everyone's view of Yahweh is quite different.






As for Billy Graham's " I am a Christian" ad. I have commented on this before. It reminds me of  the " I'm a Mormon" ad campaign run by the LDS Church. Why should anyone care if you say that your a Christian even if you say it boldly? That's your choice. You have the right to believe what you want and to practices your religion in private but other people don't have to agree with your religious beliefs or practices in any way. People have the right to question Christianity's views, call them out as false and can even refuse to join that religion just as they do any other organized religious group.  Christianity may be the religion that most people in the United States belong to and it may be the largest religion in the world but that doesn't mean that non-Christians should be obligated to agree  with or accept the beliefs or practices of any of the 40,000 denominations, sects, branches, splinter-groups or movements of the Christian religion as being " true" without question. That's just how it is.  I think it is important to be skeptical about religion just like it is important to be skeptical about all other subjects. So, your a Christian? Who really cares?










Want to Know God?


Included in another ad is a picture of a smiling Jesus. Have these people read their Bibles? It seems some passages view Yahweh and Jesus as two separate persons. Some make it sound like Jesus and Yahweh are the same person but early Christians were non-Trinitarians. JW's , Oneness Pentecostals, Mormons and Unitarian , Universalist and Unitarian-Universalist Christians are non-Trinitarians.
