Porn For Bibles

*stares* Wow.

I'm sorry. I mean, I know that all the sciencey people are saying the Bible is sooo incorrect, and how it's belief in "faries", but still...

Pornogrophy?

I mean, come on...

EDIT: Having recovered from the initial shock, I am ready to make a post of substance. What these kids are doing is sick. I am just going to ask how all the atheists would like it if some religious guys set up a similar stand for textbooks on evolution. It's not really the beliefs that count, so much as the intolerance it preaches for another point of view.

Wow Beldaran, this is truly the most interesting concept I've come across in quite awhile.

I really had to stop and consider whether I'd personally be able to bring myself to do such a thing as trade my Bible for porn.

Had to consider that I'm not losing anything, as I can still get the Bible online, while the porn that will be in the skin mag is very hard to find online for free.

Knowing this, I think I'd do it. The converse side is that it does kind of give me a sense of disrespecting God, if He even really exists. But I know you'd say that is a superstitious thing to be thinking.

Thank you for helping me dredge back out my *possible* superstitions, so that I can yet again come to a stalemate in trying to reconcile them.

Man, that's awesome.

At least something of substance should be handed out. The human body and all of it's natural wonders are certainly more worth appreciating than some book of fairy tales that tells you that it's bad...

Weren't they doing this a few years ago?

Porn rules.

yeah I wanted to do that when I was 15 too

Why trade one in for another when they're both free?

It be a hell of a lot better than when they come to my fucking door and bother me about their silly, pointless beliefs.

Quoted for truth.

This is kind of an immature way to exercise free thought. This is what gives intelligent people bad names.

Incorrect. What gives intellgient people bad names are stupid people.

You'll find more truth in Penthouse Letters than you will in the Bible.

Good trade imo.

Because Rome was never in Israel nor was it invaded by Babylon. 🙄

The way I see it, the aethiestseses are just responding as obnoxiously as die-hard Christians act to get people to believe what they believe. At least they're not ruining christmas as usual.

Christmas? I thought it was just called holiday now, or as Futurama says, X-mas.

They don't say merry christmas now it's happy holidays.

I didn't read the article just the thread.😃

Meh no big deal. 😛 I thought it was something recent myself, and then noticed the date it was published.

The old testament is full of sex (primarily rape) and violence (on massive, horrific scales ranging from generic slaughter- by god's specific directions, of course- to magic insta-death as punishment for things like glancing at the place you lived for years during it's destruction, to ritualistic sacrifices, to lots and lots of stoning, to drowning everyone in the world but like 8 people), with major serial killer vibes emanating throughout (I again point at the book of Deuteronomy as the best example I'm familiar with).

It also has many sections that are largely obsolete information today, such as instructions for removing mold and the command not to eat pork. 95% of Christians break it's rules simply by eating pork and shaving their face.

Trading that for better, pure sex material? Especially considering that while there are neurotic social issues, sex at it's basic level is all about life as opposed to death, and thus it makes no sense that it's treated as more of a taboo than violence (or such is my opinion)...

Plus the statement it makes?

I like it, and it's a good deal too. But as has been pointed out, the internet has much better than either available for free en masse.

I have always been very confused by how society is so much more comfortable with violence than with sexuality.

Most parents wouldn't give a second thought to letting their kids watch a movie where someone gets killed or badly hurt. If the movie shows one nipple though, that's a total no-no.

When I was in elementary and middle school, I'd draw lots of pictures where people I didn't like were getting shot, run over, disemboweled, or what have you. Whenever my mom would see these, she smile, and say something like...

"That's just dispicable! Why can't you draw something nice for a change, like a flower?"

But then there was the time I drew a naked anime chick. The girl was just standing there, naked and smiling.

My mom found it, dragged me in to my dad, who screamed at me and grounded me for a month, all the while my mom would hardly speak to me.

It's totally backwards.

WITH TIME-BENDING OUT OF CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER ACTION!

Perhaps if you make fun of atheists enough they will go away and stop making you uncomfortable with your mysticism.

This is the exact reason that everyone should convert to this religion.

So because Bel posts an article about people selling Bibles for porn I should abandon my beliefs?

If someone sold a copy of the Constitution for porn should we all leave America?
