Thanks for the photos! I love the Charater Connect idea! Is it certain charaters, or how does it work?

Are the messages only over Disney during this time of the year, or is it random?
I honestly don't have any problems with seeing the messages in the sky, I just think they take away some of the magic of Disney being a world of its own

Maybe this is just me, but can't the two be seperated? Can't Christians in general do good deeds while at the same time some overzealous people can waste time and money to inneffectively spread a message? Even if this person is a skywriter using his own plane and time without getting compensated, how much gas and other materials does it take (not to mention time) to write jesus in the sky, and couldn't those resources be spent in a more effecient and beneficial way?
I am not trying to stir up trouble, but you just came off way too defensive and were throwing in completely unrelated facts to prove your point. Would you jump to the defense of abortion clinic bombers, the inquisition, the children's crusade or any of the other horrible things that Christians have done throughout history? Hopefully not, because the actions of certain extreme groups of people do not represent the whole and do not need to be defended by the whole. An attack on some does not have to equate on attack on all.
Now lets leave god chat to church and go back to talking about WDW.

I dont think that any religous messages are appropriate to fly over Disney or any place in that matter.I know that a large majority of the United States are Christian based faith but there is a time and place for everything.
Trust me on this someone who is not Christian is not magically going to become one looking up after riding Space Mountain and seeing that.
I know Disney cant help that and not mad at them and not even mad at the people doing it due to the fact they think in their own way they are doing good but save that for sunday in your own house of worship.

I know that I always see post from people That say "leave religion out of this site" but it always seems its the non-christians brining it up to make fun .
I'm a Christian, I love WDW, I love to attend Christian related events sponsered by WDW like "Night of Joy", CandleLight Processional, Osbourne Lights (The Nativity scene and Angels in the sky)
And when I post on this site I also feel that I respect everyone and keep the two topics (Religion & WDW) seperate, unless its about a religious related event. (i.e. the above).
But it makes more sense to me having Christians reading the Christmas Story of the birth of Jesus at the CP in Epcot (i.e. Steven Curtis Chapman) Than just someone who doesnt believe but speaks and reads well?
Also to the non-Chirstians who love this site and WDW. We love you also. Thats why we want to tell you about having a relationship with Jesus. Because we believe as Jesus taught that the worst thing to happen is not to go hungry or to be poor or even to die. The worst thing that can happen is to die and never have believed. Thats why we care so much for you to know.
(Remember for what Jesus taught and said you have to choose he was either a Con-Man, a Crazy-Man or the Christ-Man)
If you knew that a ride at WDW could harm someone if they rode it wouldnt you want some of your WDW friends to warn you?
I know that many Christians (like the ones paraded around on TV) do a disservice to our faith and Lord- we are very often our own worst enemy. I know that the way we live our lives is the best testament to our faith.
But as our faith tells us:
1 Peter..."Always have a reason (be able to explain to others) for the Hope that you have within. But do this with gentleness and respect".
I apoligize for others who go full force with the 1st line but forget the 2nd line.
God Bless all of you- Have a Wonderfull Christmas!:xmas:
P.S. If you can catch Steven Curtis Chapman at Epcots CP- he usually adds a personal message at the end that just might make you think. <><

I disagree.
Although the Candlelight processional is the story of the birth of Jesus, it is "entertainment"
If it were not entertainment, the fancy lighting, the huge choir, and the orchestra would really not be needed....it could simply be handled the same way as the other "Holidays around the World" events are staged....with a simple story teller, and a 15 minute "lecture"
To you other points....the world is full of different beliefs......and everyone tends to believe that their belief is the correct one. One thing that the Holidays Around the World event does is allow people to learn of the other cultures and beliefs.....I am not sure why it is always the radical Christians that have a hard time saying "That person believes something other that what I do.....good for them".....doing this would have probably prevented a lot of wars over the years, and would probably allow for a more peaceful society as a whole.
