A $100 million campaign, "He Gets Us," that promotes Jesus Christ and his teachings is set to showcase its ads during the Super Bowl. It's funded by anonymous donors acting through a nonprofit linked to staunchly conservative causes, as CNN's Tom Foreman reports. #CNN #News
As soon as it said “Jesus was canceled,” I knew it was right wing..
@sammyshott23 Yes it is, and that’s not a bad thing. I THINK, however, this is more about Political Power and an attempt to increase base-size for the GOP.
The Republicans KNOW that the Evangelicals are using them, and the Evangelicals know that THEY are being used by the GOP in return … it’s just one big, cynical and incestuous love festival !
@Bob Bart HAVE WHO??
@Bob Bart MTG IS HELL BOUND BCUZ JESUS CHRIST HATES LIARS
@O SNOOPY SNOOP … Trump – Ooops ! … Maybe I’m answering the wrong comment …
@Bob Bart YEAH THE REPUBLICANS CAN HAVE TRUMP ESPECIALLY SINCE HE SAID HE’S NEVER READ THE HOLY BIBLE OR ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS BECAUSE HE’S NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG 😏😏😏😅🤣😂
And Jesus, looks down upon this, and weeps. Look beyond your dogma and into your hearts, only there will you find true peace and salvation. I just think for a moment on what a 100 million could do for the poor and needy, and I cringe at the hypocrisy.
Exactly. The people funding this are the same ones who call Democrats demons. As a Christian, I find it incredibly offensive that someone would exploit something I hold sacred to advance their not-so-veiled political ideology. In The Gospel, Jesus exemplified the words he preached through his actions and people followed him having been inspired by the grace, compassion and love by which he lived. Christians today should follow that example and demonstrate the peace that comes with the belief in true grace, then people will follow. Jesus doesn’t need an infomercial. I’m curious? Are they so lacking in self-awareness that they don’t recognize the flagrant hypocrisy of reminding people Jesus was a refugee and simultaneously supporting far right causes(although they unconvincingly try to hide it), of having vast amounts of money & choosing to make a Jesus infomercial rather than feeding the hungry, providing medicine for the sick, etc?
@Ali F Strangely the website doesn’t promote his message it just talks about various identity factors and guesses about how he felt. “Was Jesus lonely?” “Was Jesus a refugee?”
From my perspective, it seems that the same folks who purport to prefer that football remain free of “politics” are the ones pushing that faith be relevant to the same—
@Frenite and just more to my point: the Super Bowl is intentionally scheduled at a time so that it does not conflict with most folks’ faith-related services.
@Wydeedo Then why have ads in the first place if the Super Bowl is strictly about football? Since there are ads promoting various things and millions of people who watch them, I see no reason why a Christian group wouldn’t want to promote Jesus if they have the money to purchase an ad. Similar marketing strategies can be used for companies and religious organizations.
JESUS H. CHRIST, what have we become? There is one God and so may other prophets, do we need conversion and organized religion to govern us?
THEN MAKE THE 🏈 FOOTBALL PLAYERS STOP 🛑 PRAISING JESUS AFTER THEY WIN GAMES IF YOU CAN 😅😂🤣😂
@SuperBullaMan What are you talking about?? You make some bold claims for someone with no supporting evidence .
Guess I will be taking lots of washroom breaks during commercial breaks.
Wow…. 100 million dollars. How many less fortunate people would that could have fed. When I look at a high end design newly built church, I ask “where all this money coming from and why it is not spent on poor people?”
When you can afford Superbowl ads, it’s time to stop asking working class people to put money in the basket and start paying taxes.
THEY DO PAY TAXES FOOL
@O SNOOPY SNOOP churches are generally exempt from paying taxes
@Jason C. I KNOW, I’M TALKIN’ ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO DONATED THEIR 💵 MONEY FOR THE ADS
There should be something in tax law for non-profits and churches that first stops them from being able to amass this much money and second doesn’t count propaganda as a non-profit activity.
Imagine giving thousands thinking your money will help homeless and whatnot. Then you see it went to the super bowl commercial. 😂 😆 😂
Imagine thinking that the super bowl ad is so harmful to your idenity that it bothers you so much you have to comment on it. Society runs on Religion and at this moment religion is constently being attacked by those who put themselves iver others and dont want a set of morals and values. Religion has always allowed societies ti grow and without it they have always collapsed
…when belief isn’t enough, there are Superbowl ads.
Yes when people lack belief in a set morals and values we end up falling a part. Where we think men can be women and get so easily manipulated into thinking the vaccine works.
And when evidence is absent, there is always faith
An organization that can afford 7 million dollar commercials, CAN PAY TAXES!!
I guess you didn’t read the part in the description that states “It’s funded by anonymous donors acting through a nonprofit linked to staunchly conservative causes”…..
@Nancy The church didn’t pay for it! READ the description…..
@Belly Dancer Em Read the description
Did you even listen to the video???
Donors paid for the ad not the church !!!!!!
Incredibly dumb
I definitely share her view and this is very dangerous to our Christian faith in the face of low rate of new convert because some of us are using political groups and their platform for pure propaganda.
Truth is your enemy and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Remember when Jesse from the TBN needed a 50 million dollar jet to get around the world.
They want to “bring everyone together” by insisting that everyone agree with them.
Who is you to say anything!?.. yall dont got any morals ..
Sounds like the “tolerant Left”.

Such creation explains all.
“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.”
~Barry Goldwater
@Briley i have been thinking that for quite some time.
What about Rev Warnock? Does he count…..
@Sean McCartney what about him? Is he pushing his beliefs on you? Is he saying that you have to abide by his religious beliefs?
Some of these people including Greene and Boebert and the Huckabees…Hucklebees, the lying hypocrites who claim to be their form of Christianity want a Theocracy.
The preachers have gotten control of the Republican Party, Christian Nationalism has taken over and if you think the Moslem are bad wait until destroy our American government. Religion and fascism go hand in hand.

No
@Mshi2001 – Yes
@Rennerrek Yeah no
@Mshi2001 – Yes
I’m almost hundred percent certain that my comment will be deleted,
The reason why are they running such ads is because the most googled person in the world Andrew Tate converted to Islam and thus his followers started looking into Islam, these people are loosing their s h I t over that, has nothing to do with the right wing bs.
Let’s see if my comment will last or I’ll get banned
Whoever thought about spending 100 million on it needs Jesus. And by Jesus, I mean concealing.
YOU NEED JESUS IS YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT 😂😂😂
If they can afford super bowl ads they can afford taxes…
