This applies to all religions. If your religion is offended by a cartoon, or a video on youtube, or an ad on pepsi, then you really need to consider re-evaluating your beliefs. I have every right to draw The "Prophet" Mohamed is I want to. You have a right to be offended but you sure as hell don't have the right to barge in with an AK-47 and shoot up the damn place because my drawings "offended your religious beliefs."

I think this applies to faith in Feminism, and SJW dogma as well. If someone presents facts or does something to the contrary (Like the dorito ad with the baby wanting a dorito in utero offended pro-choice group advocates) then maybe they need to reevaluate their positions.

If your mad because you think Dr. Pepper ruined your religious faith, I think it's safe to say Dr. Pepper isn't the one with the problem....

Dunno about the Dr. Pepper commercial, but after hearing that it shows the evolution stuff, then...
Seriously guys? Are you kidding me?
Not to mention, the Theory of Evolution is a really interesting subject.
Seeing that these came from an ardent Roman Catholic, that's sure is saying a lot.

Wow really? That's pretty sad if you ask me.

Seriously it's only an ad.

...they got offended over THAT Dr Pepper add? REALLY?!
Being a Christian sometimes makes you look at others of your faith and just go REALLY? And you wonder why people hate us so much? Calm down!!!
Jeeze...

Lol yeah 
Happily that "REALLY?!" thing is the same for everyone - there are some pretty crazy other religious folks out there, and definitely some pretty wacky atheists too. Must be a human thing, lol!

I choked on my water when I saw that Dr. Pepper logo flash by on the stamp. I didn't think you were being serious until seeing that link...to which I choked again. I will never stop being amazed at how easily people can get such in a huff over something as small as that.

Yeah, it is a pretty pitiful thing to get all pissy about. One of the things I've been trying to remind myself of lately is to not get so offended at the littlest thing -- probably something that heaps of people out there should learn, too..

I thought that ad was funny from the moment I saw it. I don't get why people are so uppity about it.

Ok... I do believe in God and I think people making a big deal about that stuff is plain silly. Yes, it can get mildly offensive, but it's not a 'threat'. It's going to take more than a soft drink commercial to make me question my beliefs. Seriously, it's just a commercial. And as for YouTube, that place is a breeding ground for controversy. Religion is not going to be the exception. And even then, it's YouTube

No matter if it's about beliefs or opinion, if you can't stand anything that might oppose it or just offer a different point of view, you're just afraid. Afraid of losing your faith or changing your opinion aahr the devuls lure and brainwash meee!!1!
Listen to the others. If it doesn't change your views, consider your faith strong but realize there's a difference between that and just being damn stubborn and close-minded. If it changes your views, could that really be that bad? I've changed my opinion is some things because I realized I simply didn't think it enough to see what actually fitted me the best. The more arguments against and for something I get the clearer my own position gets. This means, sometimes my opinion changes.

I don't understand, how in the world does Dr. Pepper have anything to do with a religion?? Lol.

Apparently Christian Creationists were offended that their advertising featured that famous evolution poster, lol..

Agreed. lol who cares. I'm a Christian and personally don't give a crap who thinks what about it or what they do on the Dr. Pepper ads.... :/ Doesn't change how I believe, and if it did that would be pretty pathetic.

Lol, the Dr. Pepper fiasco makes no sense. As everyone knows, Dr. Pepper is an agnostic drink. You can't decide whether it's cola or root beer!

Ah yes, Dr. Pepper, most strident advocate for atheism since ever. Richard Dawkins stands in awe of their vicious assault on christian values.

Haha, yes, I knew there was a reason why I loved Dr Pepper.

As You Know, Dr. Pepper makes a habit of lecturing stupid christians for being christian, because it's not like they- oh, I can't keep this up. Why is EVOLUTION so controversial? XD
