Yeah, I just can't realize how tactful it is to use a skydiver's footage of himself going in to promote christianity.
FEAR, that is how religions work. They sell you on the fear of death and "Hell". Without the fear of hell and the promise of everlasting life, how many people could you sell on religion? Huge tax exempt, money making machines, that keep people trapped with fear. They are the most self righteous egotistical closed minded people I have ever come across. They honestly believe that every other religion is wrong and will perish and they will be with god
P.S. If hell is a place without christians, then it is my heaven.

QuoteThat's funny, I've never seen a sales presentation using actual footage of someone's death. Especially the footage they filmed themselves and would have no way of endorsing this sort of bullshit. Perhaps you can provide some examples of similar tragedy exploited by life insurance companies?
How about this one? It was on TV a while back.

I would not have guessed FoD would ever be shown on TV. Must be some obscure cable channel? BTW, I read somewhere very little of those are real (like only 2 or 3 scenes), the rest is just good effects (for their time).
But anyway - I think there is a big difference between some over-the-top macabre psuedo-silly terror flick designed to get people trembling on the edge of their seat, versus something produced to spread the word of Christianity - or is there?
Face it freaks : religion is on the way out. you can keep your eternal damnation for those of us "sinners" who don't swallow your load of jesus juice. I hope the family of this guy sue's the stupid asses off of these small minded sheep. whatever will they try next? I hate to think.
Selling fairy tales with a snuff video is the classiest thing i've seen in ages from these christain lunatics.

What's worse:
1) Someone who uses a death video to make a mesage for religion? or;
2) Someone who brands all people of all religions as fear-mongerers, money-hungry, self-righteous, egotistical and close-minded?
I see a lot of hate being spewed here in this forum by the anti-religious people, but I don't see the same coming from the religious folks.

John, first of all I regret my thread title. The abuse of someone's death really riled me. I apologise to all as I honestly don't like to swear and offend.
Secondly, I think that for the large part it is frustration with religion, rather than hatred. I know on a personal level I find it harder and harder to keep a straight face, and not make a comment when someone promotes a religious viewpoint. I also feel that we are wrong as I think that some people need religion to help them cope with the big bad world.
By way of an example think about how you generally feel about other religions? Don't you get frustrated that they are misguided, and how could they be so silly to believe in Allah, Buddha or whatever?

Faces of death promoted an exploration of our own mortality. It wasn't made to promote some bullshit religion. Why don't you try and dig up something relevant to your analogy and find some life insurance commercials and sales presentations?
You won't be able to find any, because no company that wanted to stay in business would do something in such poor taste. Its a shame you can't realize that.
