Christianity is frequently mocked and made the butt of jokes and/or insults around the world unlike any other religious faith. My only complaint over the years is that Islam should get their “fair share” of being the object of ridicule like we are. But that never seems to happen.
Having said all this, I find nothing wrong with this commercial that was banned in South Africa. Biblically literate Christians already know that real angels don’t have wings let alone look like Kate Moss or Eva Mendez. Angels look like ordinary people which is why the Bible teaches to treat strangers kindly because they can be God’s angels among us.
