In these days everything is just a ware for the market, a pack of cigarettes equally as the manpower, the female body or a good football player, but Jesus Christ is like this as well. The last one became seemingly a hero now, similarly like Rambo some time ago, but all that is just a mere advertising trick, the hero's objective is to sell the commodity better.
No, no, I don't want to offend the believers. Someone else does that – the Churches themselves. Let us just look around. Certainly you have seen a big billboard advertisement next to the roads saying: „Jesus loves you, Jesus looks for you“ … But we stay with everything somewhat behind, the German magazine Stern announced as soon as in 1993: „The religious creed is sold like hamburgers or like Coca-Cola. Then some examples follow: The Churches advertise of late with billboards, with busses spreading information, and with comics, so that they can keep chained those who contemplate to enter. In Hanover the Lutheran Church makes experiments with a billboard showing a muscular body builder, who lifts a weight…. with an explanatory title asking: … and what do YOU do for your soul?“
What does all that mean? There are only two alternatives how to explain it: Either the goods sell bad, or the Churches took over the Leninist method of the militant atheism applying it this time as a militant theism. It is most probable that the former provoked the later. In other words: advertising of goods, which sell ever less.
Does it mean that the humanists, agnostics, atheists should look at it disinterested and wait what might come out of it? NO! The time came to show that the advertised goods are expired, the time of guarantee period passed away, consuming it night be dangerous and brings a risk of the consequent damage to health.
It is the high time to show, that the Churches – the archaic media of the religious „music“– are an awkward left – over from the medieval ages in the modern 21-st century. Promoting a worldview without any religious myths is the order of the day! Let us struggle for the ecology of the human thinking! We express our thanks to everyone, who doesn't stand just alongside on the sidewalk.
