HYPOCRISY MUCH ?
I'm an avid reader (or looker, if you prefer) of original advertisements. They can be real works of art (and I'm not going to talk about Campbell 's Soup by Warhol). Ads can be funny, sensual, mysterious, evocative, enticing. And of course, sometimes they are just dull and bo-o-o-o-oring !
This one, as shown and very well described in the link, is utterly funny and, in my opinion, aesthetically remarkable.

The reason of my title ? Well, it should be quite evident. Established "Churches" look more into the form than the substance. The very basic revelation of all faiths has been twisted into something different though centuries and centuries of "human" filtering. I put the word "human" between commas as there's almost always very little human feelings in what happened in the name of religion and man-made dogmas.
And, in this instance, man-made doesn't mean made by humans but by man as gender as it seems that, after an illuminated period in far, far, remote times, only men seem to be entitled in pronouncing edicts in the name of whichever god they (supposedly) worship.
