Were the Jesus ads worth the money?

But that single ad could have funded scholarships for a lot of kids to go to Christian schools to get better, Christ-centered educations. It could have gone to feed many hungry people in Christian food banks and soup kitchens, many of which are currently struggling.

If a donor wants to spend his money this way, who are we to say they shouldn’t?

I just think a lot of rich people are rarely challenged on how they could better spend their money to advance the kingdom. After all, they could meet that one hiker on the Appalachian Trial who could become a Christian. So they spend their money on Jesus ads between beer ads hoping an unsaved millennial isn’t watching on a ten-second delay to be able to skip through to the commercials he wants to see or might accidentally see that ad and find it more memorable than the Breaking Bad commercial.

[At least the product is a lot more worthwhile than anything else promoted between plays at the Super Bowl. It may have been worth every penny in provoking the Left into a silly attack on the content of the ads, too. That in itself served an educational purpose. Jazz will have more on that. — Ed]
