    IDK, but as a Christian who is passionate about both my Constitutional rights and glorifying God, I’m not touching this service with a 10’ pole. In fact, I actively avoid any service where religion is mixed into the advertising, it’s manipulative and gross. In fact, I think it goes against what Jesus taught:

    Take heed to your alms, that you do not give in the sight of men with the intent to be seen by them, or you will receive no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

    • Matthew 6:1

    Yeah, this isn’t quite the same, but the point seems to be to not make a big spectacle of being devout, but to be humble and keep your attention on God, not on others seeing your attention on God.

    And then there’s the “give unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and give unto God that which is God’s.” I don’t think a God wants a mobile carrier, he wants charitable, humble hearts.

    So no, screw this service and anyone who thinks this is a good idea. If you provide a service, provide the best service you can. If you buy a service, buy a service that meets your needs the best. And if you want to worship God, do it in private, and don’t shout your piety from the rooftops.

          My ex is a hardened Christian in as far as her relationship with god and moral guidance but wasn’t one to judge.

          Not watch Dr who but I will agree David Tennant is aw-lala, if I was to swing that way that is…
