I won't - unless I have no other option. Very little offends me - but the sight of those indoctrinated children at 'worship' does the trick.

Heartbreaking . . .

I go to the Cinema to be entertained, if I should suddenly have an overwhelming desire to get religion I'll go to a church although unsure which one would meet my needs as I am not aware of having any.

Our Godfather who art in Ocean's Eleven...

If this was allowed, then next spring we will have to sit though an Imam extolling the virtues of Islam before seeing the film.

(or even worse, Tom Cruise with his crackpot outfit)

Or an advert showing middle age Pagans going skyclad before the Twilight Sagas

Television is different as you well know. You can turn the sound down or mute it entirely. You can change the channel and watch something else.

What are you supposed to do in the cinema? Walk out of the theatre you've paid to go to? Put your fingers in your ears?

There is a time and a place for religion. The advertisement reel before the main feature in a cinema is neither.

This insidiously promotes their beliefs. Should it be banned, too? Media URL: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J5BAhiaaeIk

If that doesn't prompt a run to the snack bar . . .

Would the church show an action flick trailer before the sermon? No? Well why should it go the other way?

Only the Church of Retail should be allowed to advertise in cinemas.

The familiar call to prayer:
Ba-bah, ba-bah, ba-bah, ba-bah,
ba-papa,
Ba-bah, ba-bah, ba-bah-bahhhh
