Anyone been watching and laughing/cringing about the Jesus All About Life campaign?
Christian Propaganda
And the even more hilarious/cringeworthy Jesus Racing Team who attempted to race a V8 supercar at Bathurst today?
Jesus Ute
Uncharacteristically for me, this is not an anti-Christian rant. It's an anti-Jesus All About Life campaign rant.
Does it not seem to you, that advertising Jesus like a can of coke is very much cheapening him and his various ideas/messages? Does it not seem that at best, it would spark a 'trend' that would be as ephemeral as any other commercially available product?
Anyway, Jesus Racing Team is run by a guy who's wife suggested that he wasn't doing enough to 'carry his cross' everyday. So in response, he put MORE CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS on his car. Just so anyone who was doubting how Christian he was would now know that he's REALLY Christian.
In the most recent news on the topic, we find out that having Jesus festooned all over your V8 supercar is not enough to persuade Jesus to make you win. The Jesus Racing Team suffered an engine failure and is now out of the race.
It would appear that the cars who festooned themselves with deities such as Supercheap Auto and Bridgestone and Shell Oil chose deities more committed to motorsport.
I asked @JesusAAL on twitter several days ago what would happen if the ute didn't win, but they didn't get back to me.
I hate to preach a religion I don't believe in, but I always got the impression Jesus was trying to talk us into being nice to each other and stuff. Not just to shout loud that we're Christian and then prove it by racing cars with Jesus on them in a race which doesn't exactly promote much in the way of 'Creation Care.'
Now the stated aim of the Jesus All About Life campaign is to get all us non-believers, ex-believers, and believers of something else talking about Jesus, and approaching Christians to have conversations about Jesus. I believe the campaign has been a success (I'm talking about Jesus aren't I?) but I'm highly dubious that most Australian non-believers, ex-believers, and believers-of-something-else are highly fertile ground just waiting for a conversation about Jesus to change our minds.
But I'm happy for them to entertain me by trying.

and just wanted to let you know that you could possibly be sitting on some major money. Antique Farm equipment has a big following, not quite as big as antique cars, but there are some people out there willing to pay a lot of money for vintage equipment. Just a thought, if you ever run into money troubles there may be money in that old dozer.
