The people behind the ads use their billions to influence our government and politics in ways which are at least wrong headed in a society that does not require a specific religious belief, and at worst would be pure evil in the eyes of the Jesus I believe in. This is just another way of using their billions to mold society in their own image. I have not called or texted to find out where they lead people who do respond, but I think recruiting people into an absolutist interpretation in which many evangelical churches indoctrinate through slick advertising is hypocritical. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop – Jesus gets us, now don’t you realize in-vitro produced embryos are people?
