The doctor has proclaimed me fit and well and quite safe to attend the BSA Religion Study Group conference which starts today - hurrah.
This article on Ekklesiahas well and truly annoyed me though, (note not the article the story it is about). The BNP have taken the WWJD thing and started to subvert it for their own nasty benefit. The article articulates the way the church may have been playing into the hands of the far right. The story also shows, however, how we need to be careful with the symbols and slogans we use in an age when subversion is a key tool of advertising.
I am wondering whether we can complain to the advertising standards about this because the poster is saying the answer to WWJD? is vote BNP when Jesus blatently wouldn't have voted for the right-wing racists.
