The Lords Prayer advert now banned in cinemas.

It's a private company making a business decision, they can do whatever they like

Ashers bakery?

Not if they are in breach of the Equality Act.

Well obviously within the confines of the British legislative framework. I'm not a solicitor but couldn't personally see how the Equality Act can apply here. They refused to buy a product that was attempting to be sold to them because they believed it would hurt their trade

Ashers bakery?

Scandalous decision which should and hopefully will be reversed on appeal.

That is such a rubbish analogy. Nobody's film watching experience is interrupted by the advert, so it is not fair to compare it with taking over a service where the attenders are going voluntarily for a particular experience.

I think of all the Christians who are being prosecuted for refusing to do things in their employment that are contrary to their firmly held beliefs and convictions, yet these companies get to apply their impositions against Christians with impunity. It smacks of double standards.

In times like this, we need to be reminded of the birth of Christ at Christmas, and the message of peace and hope that this brings.

Thanks for sharing your desire to shove your fairy tales down others throats, I'll pass though.

So the content of an organisation's policies is not subject to critical appraisal or comment providing their existence predates their implementation. How would you ever change a bad policy?

It's not about changing a bad policy, you're saying they should make an exception to a perfectly valid policy just because it's the COE.

You've counted them out! I can just picture you typing it, then you going through the jingle in your head, much the same as I've just done.

Don't think I'd be offended by this advert and not likely to convert because of it any more than I jump up and get a coke when told I've still got time to get one. \people who are offended, give over why don't you. Its just a thing and you don't have to see your arse about it and nobody is shoving anything down anybody's throat. I'm not religious but honestly see no harm in this ad.

It's an unlawful policy actually. It's also absurd to ban the Lord's Prayer in these circumstances in a Christian country.

Good, I want Orange Maid adverts at the pictures, not bleeding God

Yum! Yum! Taste of India!
