    What’s the general consensus of these commercials?

    I know they’re funded by the same people funding horrible things.

    But most people are likely passively watching them and walking away with a brief “maybe I shouldn’t be so shitty to other people” message.

      They’re bad. It’s literally the flailing attempt of evangelicalism to rebrand and save their declining numbers through advertising. Just rich Christians thinking they can boost numbers by acting like they think good things instead of all the bad things that their churches actually say and do.

      More like He Gets Sus indeed.

      It’s bad. It’s literally just marketing. Putting a superficially liberal coat on the same horrific views that most white evangelical Americans have. They want to get you in the door but I promise you on Lenin’s cat’s grave, once you are in the door you’re gonna hear the same message: turn away from your sin (including gay stuff), repent, and put your faith in Christ alone and his death on the cross for your salvation. Otherwise you will face an eternity of conscious torment in hell.

      Like, people have posted chats with the hegetsus customer service or whatever it is, it’s just bog standard conservative evangelicalism.

      it’s classic best foot forward type propo, lead with the vague and inspecific feel-good bullshit and save the hateful cult shit for when they’re already sunk in
