'God's Not Dead 2' ad rejected at Cleveland convention for being ‘way too incendiary'
By Todd Starnes July 15, 2016 FoxNews.com
Democrats are not all that fond of the Almighty. In fact, you might remember back in 2012, when they booed God during their political convention in Charlotte. I can’t recall if that was before or after they tried to remove Him from the party platform.
Republicans, on the other hand, believe we are one nation under God – and the Almighty is always welcome at their political conventions. ...
So it seemed reasonable for Pure Flix Entertainment to promote the DVD release of “God’s Not Dead 2” by renting a billboard in downtown Cleveland near the Republican National Convention site.
The 32 feet by 60 feet sign would have featured Ms. Hart along with the following message: “I’d rather stand with God and be judged by the world than stand with the world and be judged by God.”
That doesn’t sound all that controversial, does it?
Well, it turns out the billboard company thought the sign was extremely controversial.
Orange Barrel Media rejected the billboard advertisement because of the “judged by God” message, as first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
They said the message was “too political” and “way too incendiary,” according to emails obtained by Fox News.

Oh and Orange Barrel Media did accept an atheist billboard however! Apparently THAT was not controversial hummmmm
So it was not the Republicans who nixed it.

Well, regardless of why or by whom it was rejected, I'm grateful for the boldness of the message in the ad. I wouldn't be surprised if 'professing christians' rejected it these days because the message isn't 'positive' enough for them. God's judgment is coming?! The positive thinking bunch can't handle that.
