Quote : | "An atheist student group at UTSA is again offering to trade porn for bibles.
Atheist Agenda set up a booth on the UTSA campus on the Northwest Side and asked students to bring in their bibles in exchange for pornographic magazines. The event is called "Smut for Smut" and, obviously, brings with it some big controversy.
"It is to send a message that the stuff in the bible, and the Quran, and the Torah, and all that sort of thing is, in our case worse, in our opinion worse, than pornography," explained UTSA student Kyle Bush.
"I can see that God can definitely use this for a greater purpose," UTSA student Alex Liu said. "And I see a lot of Christian organizations coming together, you know, to be brothers and sisters standing up for their faith."
This is the second year in a row for the event. Christian students were also out talking to fellow students about their beliefs. It's not known how many students actually turned in their bibles for the pornographic material." |

i fail to see how this advances the general cause of atheists to garner public acceptance for their belief system. 2/3/2011 2:58:46 PM |

Atheism only works if you're a condescending dick about it.
It's in the atheist bible somewhere. 2/3/2011 2:59:52 PM |

Atheists now have a hymnal courtesy of Steve Martin at least.

The Gideons should take note of this and start leaving porn in hotel rooms. 2/3/2011 3:32:18 PM |

of course what they're doing is disrespectful. that's exactly what they're aiming for.
the problem is not disrespect. It's that it's also crass and stupid, with all the subtlety of a middle school prank. if i were an atheist, i'd be embarrassed.
wait, no, scratch that. if i were an atheist, i would think this was clever and funny and an important bit of social commentary. And go about boring people with it in a most insufferable manner.
