‘Jesus Didn’t Teach Hate’- ‘He Gets Us’ Releases Blasphemous & Unbiblical Superbowl Commercial
Last year, an anonymous group of wealthy donors launched a 100 million dollar campaign for Jesus- the largest of its kind- with the “He Gets Us” tagline being plastered across TV and social media, aimed to attract cultural Christians and pagans to consider the man Jesus, and the way he relates to humankind.
While that campaign promotion is monstrously huge in and of itself, unheard of for the Christian space, that investment increased tenfold when Jason Vanderground, President of the marketing firm managing the campaign, said that far from stopping at $100 million dollars, the number is expected to reach over $1 billion by 2025.
The funding is largely being provided by the billionaire David Green, the Christian owner of Hobby Lobby, and is being overseen by his son Mart Green, who is the company’s “Ministry Investment Officer.”
Green appeared on the Lifestyle investor podcast last year and bemoaned the reputation Christians have received, explaining:

We are people that have the very, very best love story ever written, and we need to tell that love story. So, our idea is, let’s tell the story. As a Christian, you should love everybody. Jesus loved everybody.”

Jesus Washed Feet.”
The Christian response on X has been largely negative, with some commenters writing:
