I was listening to an interview on the radio at work this afternoon and although I don't consider myself a Christian, I found myself agreeing with the person who was pro the advert.

For those who need to keep stating that religion isn't real, that its just a fable, you need to understand that Christianity is a very real thing for those who practice this faith. To try and convince them otherwise is disrespectful.

We can argue that Christmas is a Pagan festival but that's by the by. If you are Pagan and Christmas day is one of your Pagan festivals that's great. If you are a Christian and Christmas day is one of your Christian festivals, that's great too and if you're an atheist, agnostic, or other religion that just wants to join in the festivities with no thought about what the day represents, then nobody is going to knock you for it.

As for the advert, the more I think about it the more I believe it should be allowed and even praised. Christmas has been hijacked. If everyone else can advertise to the consumer to buy, buy, buy for Christmas, why on earth would we object to the Christian church, the very thing Christmas was born from, not be able to advertise ?
