Well, the bible does condemn homosexuality. According to scripture gays go to hell. So that tattoo is correct. Doesn't mean I share God's view on this issue.

What hath God wrought

It's true but only a fanatical Christian would go as far as tattooing this on his arm :) And fanatics are rarely good people.
By the way, I love the approach of these ads. 10/10

So, it IS true, but we aren't supposed to say it publicly?

All I am saying is that the ad is targeting homophobics not Christians in general. Because, although Christians believe that gays go to hell, how many of them do actually get an anti-gay tattoo?

By the way, Ivan, did you just give me a profile pic? :)

Thanks for explaining.

And, yes. Small gift. :) Feel free to keep it or delete it. :)

The fact that God condemns homosexuality doesn't mean in ANY sense that He hates anyone. This is simply a lie. "Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD; and not that he should return from his ways, and live?" Ezek.18:23

Good for you. I couldn't get through the bible, myself. Way too boring. Hey, since we're quoting books that we like: "Fear of a name increases fear of a thing itself." -Dumbledore

:) Bible is fascinating. But about "fear": – fear is not necessarily anxiety or dread; fear may be a product of love also; when You tremble not to harm or offend the one You love.
Stay well

I am all about creativity, but sometimes some agencies get carried away. I find this particular ad controversial. It's not just the whole "Does God really hate "fags"?" issue. For once, the ad implies that if you hate "fags" you are a bad person and that if you are a bad person, you are less likely to donate your organs after death. Say that to an extreme fringe individual - the only type of an individual who would "broadcast" their hatred of other people like this, via a tattoo - and you would be in trouble. You just can't reason with "fanatics". At the same time, there are many good hearted hard working individuals (not just Christians) who do not accept or understand homosexuality; that does not mean they are "bad" and so need to become "better" persons. I know this ad does not target them, but still.

I would've said..."stupid people hates fags.."

It seems to me that all you creative types have totally got wound up by your own morality and forgottgen that this is a gret and fresh way of approachging body part donations. The tattoo was done by a homophobic idiot...but the idea is that even a teat like that can become a better person if he carries a donor card.

I can't see this working. Is there anyone out there who hates homosexuals / different races etc. KNOWING this makes him/her a bad person and wants to be a better man at least after death? There is some serious childish naivety and the unability to change perspective in this ad.

If Christ hated sinners, he would have never died for them. God is not capable of hatred, that is an evil spirit that opposes God. God is Love, how can God hate Himself? Did he not put his very nature into every man, whether he is a sinner or whether he is sanctified by Christ's blood, he is made in the image of God. No, people, God does not hate homosexuals or fornicators, liars, adulterers, cheaters, whoremongers, murderers, thieves, pedophiles, atheists, buddhists, Jews, Blacks, Asians, Muslims or even Satanists. He loves them all, even those who slander his name by saying that "God hates fags".
