It's a movie about the Bible, but family-friendly Disney Co. is moving heaven and earth to make sure the word "God" is stricken from some advertisements promoting an upcoming animated film on Moses and the Ten Commandments.
Radio Disney was to broadcast a radio spot for Promenade Pictures, makers of the film "The Ten Commandments," but the company sent an e-mail earlier this month instructing that the phrase "chosen by God" be stripped from the script.

I thought the “One Nation Under Dog” trailer was inappropriate for the “Underdog” film.
Follow all of “——” Commandments movies!
God.. You’Re FiRed! (just kidding!)
then chosen by who... Ralph???
Is this the same organization that allows “Gay Week” in Disneyworld???
Seems a little bit...inconsistent. Wonder why.
Promenade, as Bond describes it, is a film studio "built on family values" — a sort of "modern-day Buena Vista within a Judeo-Christian point of view." "If Walt Disney would be aware of something like this happening, he'd be rolling in his grave," she said.

Can you imagine the outcry from the ACLU over the other five?
Well stated.
I don’t get why Disney is even doing this film at all.
Let’s hope the action figures pass the lead paint test.
I keep hearing/reading headlines saying that the demand is to “remove the word God”, but then the real story is that the demand was to remove the phrase “chosen by God” — that’s very different from demanding that the word God not be in the ad script at all. I can see how for a radio ad to be broadcast to a general audience — i.e. to people who have not chosen to see the movie, including children whose parents might well choose not to allow their children to see the movie on religious grounds — a phrase that sounds like a statement of religious doctrine would be considered inappropriate. I’m sure a lot of Christians and religious Jews would go ballistic if their kids turned on a Radio Disney program and heard movie ads claiming that certain specific articles of Hindu or Muslim faith were decreed or demanded by God/Allah/Vishnu. Some very literal Christians might also take offense at the line “With Ben Kingsley, Christian Slater, Alfred Molina and Elliott Gould. ... chosen by God”, which makes it sound like it’s the actors who were chosen by God!
This is really, really awful. I’m sure that NOBODY seeing or hearing the ads will know that the ten commandments have anything to do with God and it’s obvious the movie will take all references to God out. /s
"Children of Israel, I, uh....ummm.. found these 10 commandments from...ummm, this dude....yeah..some dude...I..uh... I didn't get his name...anyway...."
LLS
This wont last. Disney assiduously courted Christians and church groups for the release of Narnia. They wont be this stupid.
Um, it’s about Moses and the Ten Commandments—what exactly do people think they’re going to see? A movie about an intergalactic war led by some dude named Moses?! That’s like being offended over a Star Wars ad that says “may the Force be with you”—it just doesn’t make any damn sense!
