Yes, but as an evangelical faith I am thinking there isn't so much approval of those complications.

Why would you dirty something meant only for strengthening marriage you dirty pervert. You must be from Arizona.

Hey, watch it, no personal attacks buddy.

Oh, I'm sorry. Let me rephrase in the message board time honored way of avoiding personal attacks:

Some group of people of which you are a member, but I'm not saying this about you personally just a group of people that so happens to include you, must be from Arizona.

That observation aside, I still vote "no." As a believer in "self-evident truths," there's probably not much about the sponsor's positions that I would disagree with. Still, I view this as imposing a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Thus, what we are left with are reachers reaching out to seekers. Reachers and seekers generally intersect at the point of mischief and self-righteousness. If we're keeping score, I say the campaign sucks.

Huh?

BTW, the phrase "you can't take it with you" always kind of annoyed me. Um, yeah, I don't expect to play my Wii after I'm dead. If you believe in a heavenly, blissful afterlife, why would you want to take things with you? You wouldn't need them. I really don't care that I can't take stuff with me, because it's about having the item now.

You can't take it with you but you can take it with you all the way up to the exact moment when you no longer care.

No you certainly can't take it with you when you die. We all will die. For example you can't take your Wii with you. It's just material objects. As for the wanting an item NOW well that's what makes the economy go around.

What do you mean I can't take my stuff with me!?!?!?! :(

Strangler Lewis 11-14-2008 05:11 PM

I can accept that my father died and that my mom won't be around forever. What's going to be really trippy is when my children, grandchildren and so on start passing on.

As to the add campaign, I was very, very, very mildly amused that an atheist organization used a phrase that I believe assumes the existence of a god whose name is not to be abused. And the campaign still sucks.

madmonkeygirl 11-14-2008 05:11 PM

Nope when you die you can't take anything with you. It's all left behind to be sifted thru by family members or friends.
