That is the basis of Christianity. I don't know what Christian church you went to that said that Jesus was not God. It's pretty much the whole point of the religion, no matter what branch, Jesus was God coming to earth and dying for the sins of humanity. If Jesus wasn't God then he wasn't the savior.

once again Spoiler:

Spoiler:

There is no God, it's all a lie.

i think you need to go back and re-read your bible. Jesus was the Son of God.

It’s big brother trying to tell us all how to think. We are indeed being treated like children by the advertising giants.

I mean, really, advertising giants suddenly getting alll PC and ‘moral’ - pull the other one. It’s pandering to PC in the belief that is where the money is at the moment. Just don’t expect me to buy your products- patronising, hypocritical knobs.

Pathetic, only word which springs to mind really and it annoys me that companies even acknowledge it

It's acknowledged to cynically give them more publicity, are they really outraged by what Twitter trolls post, not really

Hehe... it was pigs in blankets that broke my vegetarianism. we were at my parents for Xmas. I'd wandered into the kitchen and discovered a dozen pigs in blankets and couldn't resist eating half of them. Everyone but me got the blame because I was the only vegetarian

Will it stop me shopping at Tesco - yes cheap rubbish anyway.

Will it make me respect a religion that teaches sexism - no.

Will I continue to treat people the way I want to be treated - yes.

please explain how he is the son of god to me. he was god taking the flesh, embodying man to deliver the message, the whole point is that it was god coming to earth. did you not pay attention? you honestly can't be so dumb to not know that the entire idea of Jesus is that God was taking a mortal form to spread his messege on earth.

Same and same!
If it comes down to people kicking up a fuss about people of a skin colour being featured in a christmas ad, we should probably focus on the twitter users who assumed their religion more than the tesco ad itself.. that seems like the bigger story here.

or the bigger story is Tesco knowing idiots would kick up a fuss, and get their ad on every news program while they talk about how inclusive and progressive Tesco is. not to be cynical or anything...

I mean, I don't think Tesco are above publicity stunts, but I don't think thats what they aimed for here. I just watched the ad, and yeh, we were kinda right. Just Twitter users getting upset after they, personally, assumed the religion of paid actors. I think the Twitter users are more of a newsworthy story than the ad tbh!

I have no idea. I'd like to think that there wasn't many more than 2 twitter users who assumed someones religion and then got upset because they did so, but I could be wrong.

literally, 5 racist people on twitter can get the attention of the british media to make a meal of it. and the british media will then act like they are anti-racist, while profiting off of making a meal out of 5 racist twitter posts.

The judge and jury on racism. beyond belief! Some ol, same ol hateful garbage. You accuse others of ‘hate’ when you have a pretty good grip on that yourself.
