The only times I saw a "he gets us" post was on hellsomememes and I was like "this is nice :D" and didn't understand why people would be upset about them or what would be christian about them

At least in the circles I'm in most of the criticism comes from the fact that the media campaign was largely funded by the Hobby Lobby founder, who is notoriously anti-science/queer/abortion/etc.

The story will change depending on who tells it. I believe in Jesus, sure enough. But not the one that these people think they serve. Be blessed.

It's the same with those (Insert Theme Here): Pass it On billboards by the Foundation for a Better Life. They're funded by Phil Anschutz, a billionaire who owns the AEG entertainment group and has funded groups like the Parents Television Council, the Federalist Society (which helped get all those GOP justices on the Supreme Court and federal courts), and other conservative groups. I gag having to pass those things on the freeway.

It started off almost refreshing but the ads slowly (very slowly, over the span of weeks) moved to more… loosely defined messages. The imagery went from color to black and white. It came across as less of a questioning statement to more of a… I don’t even know. It induced that uncomfortable feeling you get when someone is fake-happy but aggressive about it.

Oh damn, that sounds horrible. Now I'm even more glad I didn't see these
