Procter and Gamble's New Febreze Commercial Offends ChristiansJuly 8, 2011Dear Kate, Currently Febreze has a "Breathe Happy" ad running with God's name used in vain numerous times, and many Christians find this offensive. The commercial has two women who say, "Oh, my God!" several times in the ad. Another word could have been used to show surprise or shock by these women. Almost any other dialogue would have been better than this. Procter and Gamble needs to be held responsible because commercials like this are exactly why Americans are becoming desensitized on this serious issue. TAKE ACTION Please send an email letter to Procter and Gamble regarding their new Febreze commercial and ask that they pull this ad immediately or at least replace the dialogue that many Christians find offensive by omitting the phrase "Oh, my God!" Take it one step further and call Febreze to express your concern. Talking Points: Politely let Febreze representatives know that the new Breathe Happy commercial is offensive to Christians when "Oh, my God!" is said repeatedly. This desensitizes others to use God's name in vain. Please pull this ad immediately or at least replace the dialogue that many Christians find offensive. If the ad continues to run as it is, then I will not feel comfortable purchasing your products.

OMG! There are far more offensive things to worry about. Points:
1. Theologically "Taking Gods Name in Vain" is to represent yourself as "of God" and use that confidence to do something evil: "I'm a Christian car salesman. I can't cheat you..." may be taking the Lords name in vain, Not exclaiming the word "God".
2. Why is it "Christians" that are offended and not Jews or muslims? This isn't the first time P&G was targeted by "Christians". Some decades ago P&G suffered for their half moon logo as "Satanic". Proved bogus.
3. Frankly Kate, as a Christian, I find your complaint offensive. We suffer enough abuse as it is without this idiocy piling onto it. You make us look stupid.
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
