The first seems like it will get the "mad at god" argument thrown at it. I like the second two a lot though.

They seem like spoofs of the current Scientology spots.
I like the third one best - it's a bit less militant.
... or maybe I'd like them better if he'd hired me to voice them

Very powerful. Too bad they won't ever be seen or understood by those who need to see them.

... good point.
After all, the goal of any advertisement is to deliver the message to the target audience.

How much would it cost to put a real commercial on the tv (in a major city, not necessarily nationwide) if we got volunteers to produce it?

Quote from: "Whitney"How much would it cost to put a real commercial on the tv (in a major city, not necessarily nationwide) if we got volunteers to produce it?Production costs can be held near zero. Here is a good article on the cost to run the ad and buy time:

I think the approach to which you allude above (low production costs, maximum audience penetration) was really leveraged well by the wecansolveit.org campaign (http://www.wecansolveit.org/), which also pushed heavily through the YouTube market.

Thanks...I'm printing that page and taking it to the next Coalition of Reason meeting.
