Selling Religion.

Posted: 4/5/2006 5:48:37 PM EDT

I have notice that there are a few commercials on TV lately "selling religion". The Mormons are pushing their cult with commercials as well as the Methodists. Why would you need to advertize on TV if your religion is so great? Those are the only two that do it as far as I know. Have y'all seen any others? RidX, tampons, batteryless flashlights, religion, and credit card debt salvation. The Snake Oils of our day.

Church of Scientology makes a good income doing it (not on TV, though)

Isn't it just a modern twist on evangelism?

As long as they are paying for your show, who cares what they push. If u don't want to hear it hit the good ol' MUTE button. I do this on most comercials anyway. (somewhere a advertising exec just had a heart attack).
