Disney Bans God From “The Ten Commandments” Movie Ads

By: Steve Huston

Several days ago I reported upon ABC/Disney’s fall television programs.

We completed our comments by stating the following: “…We could go on naming shows and content ABC/Disney spews over the public airwaves. But I think the point has been made. ABC/Disney doesn’t care about families. It doesn’t care about the negative impact these shows have on our culture, on individuals, families and children. Either directly or indirectly we are all affected as our society is polluted. This is why we will continue to boycott Disney, a corporation that is not just ambivalent toward morality and decency, but is actively and purposefully attacking it. …”

Two days ago I received the following email alert from Mat Staver, Chairman of Liberty Counsel based in Orlando, Florida.

Disney Bans God From “The Ten Commandments” Movie Ads

We were stunned when we learned that Radio Disney has required that the words “chosen by God” be removed from advertising it airs to promote the new Promenade Pictures film, The Ten Commandments. The ads originally stated that Moses was “chosen by God.” An email from Radio Disney to a media buyer about requiring the censorship is posted online at www.LC.org.

On its website, Radio Disney promotes other movies with references to mythical gods, Tiki gods, Navaho gods and animal gods. Radio Disney claims to be the “ultimate music environment for kids and families.” Their actions offends families who believe that Moses was chosen by the God of the Bible.

Read our News Release for details about this great movie and for more information on Promenade Pictures and its leadership team, Frank Yablans and Cindy Bond. We had the pleasure of meeting Cindy Bond at a church showing on Saturday and were impressed by her sincere commitment to bringing positive Biblically-based films to Hollywood.

Frank Yablans, CEO of Promenade Pictures, reported to Liberty Counsel, “We were told to delete the reference that Moses was ‘Chosen by God.’ Who does Disney Radio think chose Moses – Tinkerbell?”

The Ten Commandments will start showing in theaters nationwide on October 19. It has already been previewed on Daystar satellite television network and in more than 70 churches. The previews start with Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mathew D. Staver appearing in a 3-minute video explaining the importance of the Ten Commandments. We encourage you to show your support for the Ten Commandments by going to see it as soon as it comes to your community.

Liberty Counsel is launching a petition drive to ask Radio Disney to stop its ridiculous censorship of the word “God.” Be sure to check our website at www.LC.org sometime tomorrow for details! Pass this email to your entire address book.

A friend of Liberty Counsel has made available a very unique Ten Commandments bracelet to our supporters. This attractive stainless steel and 18-karat gold bracelet has ten links, each separated by a replica of a Torah scroll. On the outside are the Roman numerals for the numbers 1-10, with an abbreviated version of the Ten Commandments on the inside.

Lastly.
Last year I was introduced to a new campaign that I found attractive and important that allows me to lift up the word of God to thousands of people every day in a meaningful and easy way.
I’d like to share the campaign with you.

Quoting from a person who is striving to keep the Ten Commandments before as many people as possible.

“In light of these scriptures, I would like us, as American believers, to do something that is gently proactive. I have developed a set of the Ten Commandments that can be applied to the back windows of our cars – one commandment at a time. They are printed on a trans-cling vinyl which is easily applied and removed (no residue). They are attractive, readable, measure 4 3/4″ x 15″ and are affordable ($10 / full set).”

Why is this being done?

After checking out these pages and their associated links, it is up to you whether you want to proceed or not.
I have been exhibiting these on my car back window throughout the year. It is a great campaign and worthy of my support, and, I believe, yours too.

[By the way, there is nothing in this for me or ADA.]
I’m promoting it because I believe it’s a powerful campaign because the Word of God is life changing.
