"What is disturbing about this advert - 'Some people are gay. Get over it'?"

I’ve followed this Q with astonishment. How can so many intelligent people fail to understand a Q? The only answer I have to that dilemma is that advertising is so subtly powerful, intelligent people cannot detect the extent of its influence over them. Hardly anyone here thinks there’s anything disturbing about this advert, yet there would have been public outrage 20 years ago.

If, 20 years from now an ad appears saying “Some people are paedophiles. Get over it,” few would object. Oh they’d object right now! All those who think homosexuality harms no-one and it’s perfectly okay for consenting adults to do what they like, protest that paedophilia is very different because it harms children. But what if a minority group decide to bombard the media with messages about those people having a faulty gene that can be ‘fixed’ and if they’re just accepted and helped, the harm will be eliminated? Or what if sex education teaches five-year-old children that paedophilia is only harmful if they resist adult advances; that if they treat it as a game they will quite enjoy it and no harm will be done? You think I’m off my trolley? Watch this space. There are sexual predators out there who know how to manipulate intelligent people. They are well on their way to getting rid of ALL sexual taboos. Homosexuality is now accepted by the majority (so they would have us believe). Anyone who questions it is instantly labeled a homophobe, as evidenced by most of these answers. Twenty years hence they will be labeling all of us as paedophobes. Exactly the same tactics will be employed for that as have worked with homosexuality. Mark my words.

How come atheists can't realize that God's existence can't be proven because he is too gorgeous and beautiful?
Atheists often demand concrete proofs so that they may believe God. Often, they imply that they want some sort of visual manifestation of God before their very faces, convincing them of the divine glory and mystery of the Lord. However, that cannot happen because God's true form is far too beautiful and potent for mere mortals to behold; since God well knows of this circumstance, he never avails himself the opportunity of directly displaying his majestic splendor and radiance, thus preventing mankind from experiencing any physical or mental shocks from such exposure.

In other words, God is like a topless woman. Women, with all of their exquisite bodily grace, replete with refined and elegant curves, endued with glamorous and comely natural proportions, are far too beautifully stunning and attractive to behold with no barriers. The feminine mystique and pulchritude of the breasts, combined with all of the other gorgeous parts of a woman, are too much for the course of mundane affairs and would doubtless lead to traffic accidents, and other gratuitous distractions if fully exposed to the world. For this reason, we have laws that prohibit the complete bareness of the female figure, making toplessness illegal.

God's beauty far surpasses that of women so his visual manifestation would have extremely dire ramifications on the thoughts and actions of mankind. Atheists, you will not get a convincing and cogent proof of God's existence. Instead, you have to rely on the primary and secondary accounts of the works and life of Jesus Christ to gain the faith necessary to convert to theism.
