They're probably worried that some young hippie-dippie types will actually get the idea that there is such a thing as right and wrong - and we can't have that, can we?

Rolling Stone was a perfect fit for the group we want to reach," Lockhart explained to USA Today. Huh? The only people who read Rolling Stone are 50+, as far as I know.

It's conduct like this that pushed me from agnosticism to Christianity. It's the Eighth Proof of the existence of God. The strangest things pass for proof in your world.

You're looking at this far too reasonably. I'm afraid that few in this thread will heed your logic, but will instead flock like moths to a flame to the more bellicose ideas.

Rolling Stone is not the place to reach a young demographic. My aunts and uncles read it! I read it, and I'm probably the same age as your aunts and uncles.

Thing is though, the Living Bible is a paraphrase, not a direct translation. If I'm not mistaken (I don't own a Living Bible, so I'm not sure) it never claims to be a translation. The good that the Living Bible has done though is that it helped get people interested in the Word that would have otherwise tuned out the archaic "thees" and "Thous" of the KJB or some of the long, in depth sequences throughout any other proper translation. In that light, the Living Bible is meant to be a tool to compliment a proper translation, and it has, many times, served that purpose.
I remember a few years ago when the NIV translators said they wanted to make a "gender friendly" translation. The response from most churches and Christian publications, as I recall, was that that was a bad idea. Instead, publishers like Zondervan should simply continue to print study Bibles with commentaries contained throughout the Bible aimed at specific groups of people (i.e. The Student Bible for Teens, the Women's Study Bible, etc.). If the NIV translators wanted to make things gender friendly then it would not be treated as a translation. I guess things were forgotten.

It is completely within their rights to not publish this ad. Did anyone here, or anywhere for that matter, ever have any illusions that the editors of Rolling Stones were closet Chiristians. As far as some comments that say that this should be exposed and made public...
It is exposed and public, as evidenced by this article. If you want your friends to know, tell them, but making a huge deal of this, or trying to get the MSM to make it a big story. None of that accomplishes anything useful.

Exactly. Kids don't read Rolling Stone. It's the magazine for boomers trying to stay hip.

"Yea, tell us something we don't know. It has ZERO to do with music anymore..Havent looke dat one in 20 yers I bet ..RAG"Of course you're right.
I was just reminding the poster just who and what he was defending. And besides -- the mini-rant felt good...
Btw, I don't think the 'Rolling Stone' has been about music since Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show sang about it ;-)
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Kent Brownridge, the general manager for Rolling Stone's parent company Wenner Media, said the Zondervan ad "doesn't quite feel right in the magazine."
Gee it is quite different than the usual booze and sex ads.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Hasn't everyone heard? Cursing and rock music is in. "Spiritual intrique" is out. </sarc>
