Porn Again: Boobs for Bibles

Submitted by Christopher

Edited by Christopher

Guns for toys. Can foods for tickets to see Foghat. Now an atheistic student group that attends University of Texas at San Antonio has decided to jump in on the "goods for exchange" bandwagon and will trade in bibles for porn. Hard core porn.

“We consider The Bible to be a very negative force in the history of the world,” student Ryan Walker said. He is part of a student group calling itself the "Atheist Agenda."

Club members were on campus asking students to exchange religious materials for pornographic magazines like Black Label and Playboy.

News 4 WOAI’s Demond Fernandez showed the Athiest Agenda's "Smut for Smut" fliers to Pastor Rick Hawkins of the Family Praise Center.

“In my opinion, there are no atheists. There are fools,” Hawkins said. “So, that would be foolish propaganda.”


This also has caused a ruckus among students as they share a section of the quad with the Campus Crusade for Cthulhu’s “Porn and Bibles in Exchange for Eternal Agony” table.

Huh?

Are irreverent atheists less credible than "serious atheists?"

Apparently they aren't embarrassed as easily.




No, I'm saying cretinous college assholes are less credible than "serious atheists".




Well, I don't mean to offend your standards of authenticity, I just have trouble taking seriously anybody who takes themselves too seriously.

I think ridicule is an entirely legitimate response to religious fanaticism.

TedKoppelThe Bible is the inspiration for a great many of the significant pieces of art in history, be it books, music or especially painting and sculpture.



If The Bible, Religion didn't exist, there would have been something to inspire the great works, but it just would have been about something else.



The point is moot. It doesn't matter that something else would have inspired such works, the fact is that religion did. Is, say, the Wright Brothers achievement any less because if they didn't do it someone else would have?



But they actually accomplished something. We don't laud them for "inspiring" flight, but for actually flying.

....WTF. To say that atheism is nonexistent is...uh...pretty foolish.



What he means is Everyone believes in SOMETHING, Be it Jesus, Gaia, The Force, Uni-mind, Life After Death, Aliens, UFOs, String Theory, etc. Basically all the unproven stuff people can only guess at whether it be Scientific Theories or Theology. Under this guise, I do believe in something, by my money is on Aliens and the Universe, Infinite, (:



Mmm....no, sorry, I don't buy that. First of all, the man's referring to a famous bit of the Bible (a psalm, I believe) wherein it says "The fool hath said in his heart, 'There is no God.'". Which, as far as I can tell, can be rephrased as "You're an idiot if you don't believe in God.". Which is grade-school namecalling but still rather different than saying that there isn't anyone who doesn't believe in God. Also, no, I don't agree that everyone believes in something, if you mean by that that everyone takes something on faith. I personally like to see some actual evidence or scientific basis. I mean, I'd like there to be aliens. I don't think it's nearly as far-fetched as God. But until there's some serious evidence to support their existence...nope.

If you think a bible is somehow connected to religious fanaticism- that's your prerogative (one I wouldn't argue with).

If you think this "joke" is funny- that's your prerogative too (but I think this joke sucks).

I'm familiar with religious fanaticism, ridicule is the coin of the realm.

Fighting stupidity with stupidity is... ingenius? C'mon.

I have a pretty good sence of humor, but saying that ancient text which many believe to be holy, others call some of the finest stories ever written, and either way is many culture's mythology, is worth smut, is pretty harsh. How would you like a story you wrote traded for a 70's issue of playboy?



Which issue?


People are free to believe whatever they want, including that some beliefs are silly.

But I think it's funny that while enjoying a site devoted to hot naked chicks you imply that "smut" is pejorative and comparing anything religious, particularly christian, to "smut" is disrespectful and insulting.

There have been cultures on this planet that celebrated sex and sexuality, with graphic depictions of sex as part of their public art.

Well, if you get to define and be the sole arbiter of "serious atheism," humor, and stupidity, I guess I'm fucked.

Nothing more satisfying than a self-declared victory, eh?

The Agenda at UTSA was just pissed at the slow response to the heads of campus not putting a camera on their posting area. The christians kept tearing it down, defacing it, etc within hours/minutes of it going up.

They even started posting "pre-vandalized" posters around campus to "help the christian groups" last semester before running their "smut for smut" campaign.

It was an attack at crusade for christ with literature focusing on their negative acts on campus, i.e. vandalism. Crusade may not have anything to do with the vandalism (daily vandalism, we call it our soap opera that we have to see every morning on the way to the lab), but the're taking the blame according to the Agenda.

Currently there is some Mormon vandalism on the board and all the Atheist literature is gone.
