who I am
- corbett
- A man desperately in need of God and all His grace. I serve with crippled hands and lead with a limp. I'm grateful for my wife, my kids, my church and for all those who regularly pour into me and pull from me, helping me become who God created me to be.

I'm not sure if I would say that it is outright blasphemy. My understanding of that word has more to do with the absolute denial of God, i.e., rejection of Him. I would also say that a closer illustration of blasphemy would be the acts done 'in His name' which completely go against Him and His will, i.e., The Westboro Baptist Church (perhaps a video of them protesting the death of our soldiers would have been a better clip to follow this title).
I like to believe that God has a pretty good sense of humor and is more ticked off at lunatics proclaiming to be under His guidance then He is about a Doritos Ad.
Regardless, the creaters of this ad certainly are showing some 'poor taste', knowing that the ad could certainly be viewed as offensive to a large population of believers (especially those of the Catholic faith).
I laughed at the commercial though. Mostly because I believe that if a church thought that offering Doritos and Pepsi would help raise funds for a new building, etc., that they'd do it in a heartbeat. I think we've all been witness to some pretty savvy attempts at creating hype and helping to drive campaigns. Not all churches (thankfully), but quite a few.
I won't boycott Doritos because I believe that God inspired their creation.
