Say what?

Wow.
 
I'm not even knocking it for the usual reasons you might expect. I just really don't get it. I am baffled as to what message it's supposed to convey, and it would seem like I'm the target audience for such an ad.
 
Which was kinda the reason for my statement.

I'm completely unsure as to who it is supposed to be directed at, or what its supposed to get them to do...

Maybe its an NRA ad to encourage 12 year olds to buy guns and go to church?
 
I can't understand what they're trying to say and who they think this will convince. I mean, I'm not going "Aha! Thanks to this kid pointing a gun at me, I have seen the light! My nonbelieving days are over!"
 
Even if that were the message... seems like it would be better to just have the voiceover go "Convert, or this kid will shoot you, and it'll be a-okay with God". It just seems so unchristian that I have trouble reconciling it with the faith, and figure I must be getting the meaning wrong.
 
Ok WTF is that? I mean seriously who has a kid point a gun **** the hammer then make a statement like that. This is a troubling video to say the least. As a christian I have a severe problem with this message....
 
I too am a Christian, and this video baffles me. I don't think that it's appropriate at all. What I think it's trying to say is that without God, a shooting like that would be OK cause people have no meaning, but since everyone knows its not OK, then there must be a God. It is after all an apologetics video. Although I agree with the conclusion, the method is just wrong.
