The Seventh Age

The United Church of Christ has launched a new advertising/branding campaign to combat homosexual "intolerance" that has supposedly crept into Christian churchs.

In the spot, which is running on Discovery, Fox, Hallmark, History, Nick@Nite, TBS, TNT, and several other outlets, two nasty looking bouncers stand outside a Church bouncing a "gay couple" and several minorities, while granting admitance to WASP families.

The text that follows notes, "Jesus didn't turn people away. / Neither do we."

And then the voice over, "The United Church of Christ. No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you're welcome here."

Welcome to the global syncretism of 21st century religion, where we don't put up dogmatic walls, but rather tear down creeds, replacing them with shallow religious sentiments that are carefully crafted not to offend. Never mind the fact that Jesus excluded many a scribe and Pharisee. In the new Church of Christ, ALL are welcome.
