Solscud007 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I was so upset when i saw this. How dare they tempt me with images of Transformers. All i saw was "Ohh Convoy!!!!" then I read further and it was some obscure reference to transformation via being a sock puppet of the church. Oh this was on campus at UCLA. argghhh shady church trying to tap into my nostalgia for G1 Transformers to lure me into their clutches haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundown Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 (edited) All i saw was "Ohh Convoy!!!!" then I read further and it was some obscure reference to transformation via being a sock puppet of the church. *Sigh.* "Transformation" in Christian lingo... refers to a particular change in heart and character, something that's gets worked out between that individual and God, the Holy Spirit, the Son, and so forth, if you believe in that type of thing. It has about um... zero to do with being some puppet for the earthly and often fallible human institution, and according to certain perspectives, it is often those really "transformed" that ruffle things up for a given church or religious establishment. The ad was merely attempting to be clever and hip, using language that holds a certain and particular meaning to particular Christians. I know religious cynicism's all fun and comfortable, but at the very least understand the references and meanings before maligning and twisting them into something more easily mocked. Maybe they are saying "all of you are stupid trucks. Come to us and transform in to cool yet mindless robots? It takes a capable mind to approach all ideas with respect, and it takes a capable one to evaluate all beliefs in fairness. Pointing, laughing, and making cynical assumptions don't require such sharp faculties, however. -Al EDIT: Added original quote replied to.
