Trading bibles for porn in San Antonio

Even if they don't convert them at least the people who recieved bibles from those Christians will be able to study the religion, which in my mind is far more productive and worthwhile than jerking off to porn.

Jerking off is known to reduce the risk of prostrate cancer. However, there is as yet no evidence whatsoever that reading the Bible reduces the risk of contracting any disease or illness, to say nothing of prostrate cancer.

I don't see what the deal is. If people want to swap Bibles for porn or porn for Bibles then let them. It's a free country. Or at least it was a free country before Haliburton bought it.

I agree, in fact I have quite a few copies I am willing to purge myself of...soooo.. bring on the porn. I hope I get some I haven't seen before, would be nice :drool:

What if they recycle them and the paper is used to print newer, shiny-er bibles? That would be pretty sweet... )(

I think that would be funny, but I think it would be just as funny is Christian did the porn for Bibles and recycled the porn and that went toward making newer, shiny-er porn ^_^.

I couldnt agree with you more! Its pathetic how people doesn't recognize this as a clear double standard. If they hold each person at gunpoint and demand the bibles and order them to take the porns, then that's another issue. Nothing is wrong with acting in a way that a particular religious group would not want you to act (unless you are a member of that group).

Their intent is to provoke discussion and publicize their views, which any reasonable person should agree is a perfectly legitimate intention.

That may be what you see, but that is not what others see. I accept that you may see their reasoning as such, but I disagree.

They are attempting to prove a point.
You disagree with the point and their method of bringing said point to peoples attention.
No offense, but so what?

On what basis do you disagree? What information do you have that I don't have?

I dont think we should discuss these kind of topics, because if some crazy people dont understand christianity, the rest of the Christians should not be accounted for them.

It seems to me that the point they are trying to make is that the bible is no better than porn. Not only is this highly insulting and graetly disrespecful to the religions that follow the bible(Christianity isn't the only religion that follows the bible) but it's also patently false. regardless of your religion or lack there of anyone who objectively and thoughtfully reads the bible can see that there is a great deal wisdom within it's pages and even if you believe it's false it's still a great story(or bunch of stories). You don't find that in porn. The Christian religion may have a few crazies in it but then so does every religion or non-religion. That doesn't make the religion itself garbage nor does it make the religious texts it follows "smut".

Nothing can objectively have "a great deal of wisdeom within it's pages". If you find that in the Bible, that's fine. It doesn't mean others do.

If they think the Bible is no better than porn, then that's their opinion. It's not "patently false"

Actually, they were taking any sacred text offered, and reporting receiving a couple of Qur'ans and a Satanic Bible as well as Christian Bibles.

It's false in your opinion. Many people would say that pornography is far preferable to the violence, xenophobia, hatred, coercion and ignorance to be found in the Bible.

Yes, some people are not intellectually or artistically developed enough to appreciate a work for its enduring ability to inspire people over a wide swath of time and geography, but may contain some negative aspects. Religious texts are not the only media with violence, xenophobia, hatred, coercion and ignorance. Indeed, if we were to purify all of our poetry, philosophy, music, plays, movies and etc from the glorification of vice, we would be left with just about nothing.

The stupid, idiotic, slugish, anti-humanistic slimeballs who are doing this are doing nothing but illustrating how completely bereft of any kind of sophistication that they really are.

And, by the way, the worms who would say that pornography is far preferable to... belong in the same class of slug who is doing this stupid thing. Let them rot together in their self-righteous stupid ignorance.
