kaberettThere's a series of ads running at the moment with straplines to the tune of "GOD KNEW YOU WOULD SEE THIS", and some smaller blurb about how it's a Christian dating website, isn't that amazing, God also knew that you'd want to date another Christian, etc etc etc.
... and, of course, it's a service for which you have to pay in order to get any use out of it.
Now, I might be unduly prejudiced due to being an embittered ex-Catholic, but the thing this reminds me of most of all is the merchants Jesus drove out of the temple, to the extent that I am uncomfortable about these ads primarily because of a creeping sense that they are contra-Biblical and contra-What Would Jesus Do. And therefore really skeevy and kinda blasphemous.
