I guess some people will always like to bring up an issue, the cinema's did not want to show the lords prayer as you said they want to stay away from anything religious or political to avoid controversy most likely from other groups.. | |||

some where saying it will have a chilling effect on free speech..
it has nothing whatsoever to do with free speech...it is a company policy,as many comapanies would have,of not promoting any particular political or religious agenda...seems a particularly bad time to me to see a problem where there clearly isn't any.
You seem a bit confused.
Nothing to do with free speech - not letting someone put forward a point of view?
What does it have to do with then?
Oh, and this so called policy , didn't exist 6 months ago when they first negotiated with C of E.
Yeah let's advertise that disgusting macD food, but spiritual adverts -ooh can't have that "i am not in the least bit confused...i am merely pointing out the fact that their company policy rejects any political or religious advertising.if it didn't then i can't see any problem with the advert being shown; of course,then we should be equally happy to sit through advertising for the BNP, Conservative Party, the Catholic Church...and any other political or religious group... | |||

"Correct me if I'm wrong, it's the celebration of the birth of Christ, no?. You are 100 % correct . I see no harm in celebrating the birth of Christ . " Not 100% correct at all. Christmas was originally the pagan festival Saturnalia, and it was co-opted as a festival by Roman Christians to try and help bring pagans into the Christian church. They named the concluding day of Saturnalia as Jesus' birthday to give it some Christian relevance. The Roman Christians used to over feed Jewish prisoners and make them run naked races through the streets for their amusement at Christmas too. Although you may not find that in your bible. | |||

They named the concluding day of Saturnalia as Jesus' birthday to give it some Christian relevance. The Roman Christians used to over feed Jewish prisoners and make them run naked races through the streets for their amusement at Christmas too. Although you may not find that in your bible." Probably won't find it in "our" bible. We're Muslim, but thanks.. | |||

"So apparently it appears 3 Cinema chains have refused to show an avert featuring the Lords Prayer and the Church of England are not happy ,,, . I saw the advert earlier and can see no reason to ban it . We should be gratefully for all the good work that the Church of England do . It provides lots of attractive workship places with a long history "all religions do good and other none religious organisations do good also.. not just ones own 'brand'.. goes without saying that there have been some bad things in all mainstream religions history too.. not sure why any religion feels it needs to advertise itself unless its failing in its support maybe.. | |||

You can just imagine how many of these same outraged free speech supporters there would have been on Facebook if an advert for Islam had been refused, for example. | |||

It was a decision made by the company in line with their blanket policy on religious and political advertising. So, as I originally posted, the advert in question wasn't banned because any non-Christians were offended, nor have any expressed any offence. | |||

People's individual opinions are irrelevant." I was asking the question because I was actually interested in responses. I've scrolled back up and there's a post from someone who is offended by prayer and their reasons for that. I don't see why people's individual opinions are irrelevant. The reason for the policy being in place is because it's perceived that any religious or political advertising can cause upset or offense. I was asking whether it actually does cause upset or offense or if these perceptions are unfounded. | |||

Also the presumption that it could cause possible offence in the first place is political correctness, which I think most people in this country are pretty fed up with to be fair. | |||

It seriously isn't rocket science We all know if they allow one religous advert they would have to allow all And we sadly know how that huge huge vocal minority of daily mail worshiping xtians would react when a non xtian advert would be screened When in a pub the saying goes , don't discus politics or religion This is for obvious reasons both are highly flammable subjects far far far more so than the sugar content of cola although I'd ban adverts for drugs like sugar too xx It's more than reasonable that a company that projects stuff to a leasure audience would make a policy not to promote any highly emotive and divisive subject matter ?? | |||

"It's an interesting concept. If a Christian hotelier refused business from say a Muslim or a Muslim shop refused to take money from a homosexual they would be in breach of equality laws. By refusing religious adverts would that not put an atheist business in breach of the same laws. Oh what a tangled Web we weave " I think your analogy is flawed, the cinema isn't turning away customers, it's turning away advertisers. It's not even comparable But regardless if you turn away all religions how is it discrimination? Surely it is equality? | |||

"I don't understand the link to political correctness here??" Banning something that might just offend some minority is the very essence of Political Correctness. | |||

" I don't know if it is wrong or not, it just offends me on the basis that's it's a decision based on Political Correctness only. " No, it's nothing to do with the dreaded PC. It's simply a desire from a company that simply wants to make money not to get dragged into politics or religion, where controversy always awaits. If they ran a pro Islam advert it wouldn't be the "PC brigade" who would be furious about it. | |||

"So apparently it appears 3 Cinema chains have refused to show an avert featuring the Lords Prayer and the Church of England are not happy ,,,
Am I allowed to play Cliff Richards Millennium prayer on my phone in the cinema at Christmas time.
Certainly not..... it's absolutely not allowed....
You have Cliff Richard on your phone? In a play list?
I prefer streaming, and I like Christmas songs at Christmas time, helps to get in the festive mood. "Where do you stand on Micky Bubbles? | |||

"So what is so wrong that a cinema refuses to show political or religious messages prior to the screening of a film? I don't know if it is wrong or not, it just offends me on the basis that's it's a decision based on Political Correctness only. And I also believe that PC can cause more problems than it solves. But like I said, it's just my opinion
How is banning all religious and political adverts in anyway a decision based on political correctness?
To be honest you seem desperate to be offended by this but can;t even articulate why it offends you
As has already been explained earlier in the thread the presumption that the advert could cause offence in the first place is political correctness.
To be honest you just call everything you don't like political correctness.
So how is banning all religious and political adverts political correctness?
And are you honestly saying you would be happy to see a muslim advert in the cinema or a green party political broadcast before watching a film?
You mis quoted me and are trying to twist my words there. I never said banning all political and religious adverts is political correctness, I said the PRESUMPTION that the advert could cause possible offence in the first place is political correctness. There is a clear difference there if you can't see the difference then there really is no point in trying to explain it to you further. You also try to defend political correctness on the forum on any topic so I'm not surprised by the nature of your posts on this thread. "Considering you bemoan politicval correctness at every opportunity, it;s surprising that you don;t actually know what it is. | |||

Because it would be seen as politically incorrect. | |||

"I don't understand the link to political correctness here?? Banning something that might just offend some minority is the very essence of Political Correctness." There are lots of things that are banned because they might offend .... if its only a minority they night offend, then its called political correctness, but if it tips over to the majority, then its not ... not ever sure myself where the tipping point is though. Like someone on here said, its easy to blamed the pc brigade for everything, when sometimes they are just trying to see it from the other person's point of view ... sometimes that is hard for us | |||

I've only mentioned PC in this thread. And the definition is: "the avoidance of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against." And a great example would be to ban an advert that other religions might not like | |||

"http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34891928 The full story is they don't accept any political or religious adverts But happy to make a mint when they screened The passion of the Christ. Seems a bit hypocritical really when they show political and religious films then ban the adverts? " People know what film they're going to see they don't know what adverts they're going to see. You see the difference right? They just don't want a bunch of idiots getting offended and throwing shit at the screen or being disruptive | |||

"It's irrelevant because the company has made the decision based on their own experience. If everyone on Fab tells you they are unoffended by prayer, that doesn't counter the company's own experience...unless their audience and the members of Fab forum are somehow one and the same. If you just want general opinion, of course, go ahead.
But I didn't ask if the company's perception or decision is right, I really don't care about the advert. I was interested in hearing from people about whether they are actually offended by prayer. But never mind. I've lost the will. Congrats. "They do that to you too? | |||

"It's not about "offence". It's about controversy and negative reactions. Both the left and right wings are capable of that. Again, not PC. It's a sensible policy to save themselves headaches." Yes a reaction to a sad reality | |||
