I can’t help but be confused what they think they’re going to accomplish with these ads, because the kind of person who actually turns their head at the messages of tolerance they were trying to hammer in the ads is also the kind of person who’s going to research the org, see who they’re linked to, and immediately close the entire browser in disgust as if they just found the one weird roommate’s search history, their pornhub search history.
Like, they’re talking to the generation who sees the feet washing ad and thinks of Mr. Rogers, who these people slandered on fox news for daring to teach children that they’re worthy of well treatment just for being a living human being.
I was thinking the same thing. Is there going to be a single rational individual this wins over? Other than the type that already believes but maybe doesnt “practice” or go to church anymore. The demographic they are trying to reach with this isn’t the one they targeted. Thus, perhaps this is the target. Get those already brainwashed to believe back into the fold. And therefore, the maga right wing stuff. I would think that would be a stretch but I went to a mega church begrudgingly once just a year or two ago with my clueless about my atheism father after he guilted me and sorta blackmailed me in going to what I thought was just a free dinner. They of course had a service and no shit they were making jokes about Biden and Harris about how bad they were during the service. The southern Christian is entirely intertwined entirely with the Republican cult. So Christianity necessarily can and does equal maga ferver.
In any case, they know every one knows that the adds were by hobby lobby’s owners.
There’s plenty of well meaning Christian’s who think all the awful stuff we say about them is slander and persecution; and those people also shop near exclusively at hobby lobby.
Or people who see this as proof that the op ya assholes legitimately did give hobby lobby “to god”… and so shop there to support that. Never mind that they still own it, and are still pocketing absurd profits.
It’s purely performative. The veneer of decency serves only to get “decent” Christian’s in their store and spending money.
In short, if one is to foow christ’s scriptural example, they should be horsewhipped.

Nope the target is the same. As with all publicly Christian companies- they’re assertion of being Christian is a disingenuous attempt at marketing.
To get Christians to patronize them- they’re literally exploiting the persecution complex many have; as well as exploiting their faith.
Did fox news really slander Mr. Rogers?

Wow. Slandering Mr Rogers just seemed like such a ridiculous statement that I assumed the poster above was exaggerating. What a bunch of scumbags.
I suppose I could have googled that myself, but thank you for sharing the link.
I feel like some one should spoof Roger rabbit with a “Who framed Mr Roger’s?!”, set in the neighborhood.
I feel like I saw that porno…
